1 Introduction

This short tutorial shows you how to change an image associated with custom profile. Before you begin, prepare new image. It has to be exactly 270 x 100 24bit PNG file.

5. Find your profile there (you can use CTRL+F in Notepad). Add GameImage= entry (if it does not exist). Follow it with a directory to where your new profile image is stored. Important: make sure to use forward slashes (/) instead of backslashes (\) when you are specifying path to your image.

For example: GameImage=C:/Users/user_name/Pictures/new-profile-image.png
