Hi Olivier!
---------------------------------------
You don't have to place it that far away! -0.1 should do.
In general it's a good practice to first add the new widget to its
parent controller's widget and then modify its size/position properties.
Since sizes are relatives, you could just set the size of your image to
(1.0, 1.0) and its position to (0.0, 0.0, -0.1).
** Yep, as Michal mentioned, its not enough. With -0.1 on the z-axis, only 1
icon appears. Others are behind the image plane. Since my z position is -400,
background image becomes smaller because of vanishing point. 1.6 image size is
ideal to fill up the screen. The new_coord variable is a way to compute the
offset along x and y position. It occurred to me that when I resize/scale the
image, it is not centered.

** I dont get it. How do I do this? What do you mean?
---------------------------------------
One stupid question: did you copy over the image file
('wallpaper_02.png') to poblesec/theme?
**Yes I did.
---------------------------------------
I don't know how you are developing on linux but I advise you to use the
bzr branch at lp:elisa (see http://elisa.fluendo.com/participate/, the
"Getting started" section).
**I'll try this one.

Thank you very much for the help. Eventually, my goal is to create a totally
different interface for Elisa. I'd like to know how to get started on this.
Cheers!
