I have the IP Communicator in my lab. I am trying to put a company logo as the background. I have followed the instructions on creating the png images (thumbnail and background) and the List.xml. I have put these into the directory "C:\ProgramFiles\Cisco\TFTPPath\Desktops\320x212x12" according to the documentation.
When I go to the IP Communicator Settings/User Preference/background, there are no images to view. The default image even disappears. It tells me to select an image, but no images are there.
is the formatting of your List.xml file correct? If you don't close the xml fields correctly or have a typo, that could cause the problem you're experiencing.
Not to hijack the thread, but you CAN edit the skins.
go to c:\program files\cisco systems\ip communicator\skins. copy en existing .xml file and rename it. edit your graphics (located in the .\images directory and change the xml file to reflect the new image names. I have created a couple just playing around.
There is no "skin editor" but if you know something about skinning, it is pretty easy.
I built the folders and copied the list.xml file and the four image sets to the folder. I stopped and restarted the TFTP service. I launched the Communicator and only the default screen shows up.
I got the images from the link you posted. That works fine. I compared my list.xml with the one from the link. There was a few things I needed to change. I now get a blank image thumbnail when I use my list.xml. I must have the image formatted wrong. I will look at reformatting my image.
