2.2.4 Changing the background of the service desktop
Overview
A background pattern for the service desktop is not set via the "Control Panel" (system
control), but in the registry:
● Background pattern:
Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Siemens\SINUMERIK\Basic software\ <version>\HMI
desktop
Value: Pattern (STRING)
Date: <bit code>” (e.g., “0 80 114 32 0 5 39 2”, see HKCU\Control Panel\Patterns)
“(None)” (= NO background pattern)
Init data: Background pattern previously set via the Control Panel
Default data: “(None)” (if entry is not available/readable)
● Background image:
A background screen for the service desktop is not user-specifically set via the "Control
Panel" (system control), but in the ServiceCenter Users under "Service: Bitmap Folders"
or "Service: Default Bitmap Folders".
Note
An attempt to set the service desktop background (as in standard Windows) via the
Control Panel does not affect the service desktop background display, but only the boot
screen display.
