Hello, I am currently trying to put a background image for my title page. The image is entitled Title.jpg. I have the buttons and everything, I just need to know how to make an image (1024x1024) take up an entire 2D background.

If you're looking for resizing the image to screen size, then I advise you to search the forum.

Cheers!

Try putting paste image inside the loop.


Also try to indent your code, it makes it easier to read.

Using other sprites you probably need to adjust their priority so your background is for sure the one behind every other sprite.

DBPro version 1.0? Are you sure that you aren't running Darkbasic Classic? You can check by running:

If you find that it works, then you're running DBC, not DBPro.

In that case, texture backdrop should work fine, or paste image, but sprites would be better (and you can scale them to fill the entire backdrop):

From your code, it looks like you are not using any 3D. If that is the case, then you don't need TEXTURE BACKDROP or to use sprites. Pasting the image should work fine for a background. If it doesn't, then check your path and the image.

Likewise, if you are not using sprites or any 3D, you don't need to put your text display in a loop, you just print it once and it stays up.

Of course, if your button function uses sprites or 3D, then never mind.
