Issue with images

I'd like to think I've exhausted my options in finding a solution for this (always hate hearing that the answer already exists in the forums), but here goes... I'm trying to play with images, and tried putting them as menu headers and as a splash page. For the life of me, I could not get my simulator to show either a header image, or a splash page. For test purposes, I've been using sailboat.png (Because its simple, and already in the BT_images folder), of which I made appear with the image gallery page. I even tried a random web url, and still nothing. Thanks for the help.

Don't stress too much, everyone struggles when learning new things. You seem to be asking two different questions. One, how to I use an image for the Header Image in a list menu. And two, how do I use a splash screen. Splash Screens: a) Build a new screen - choose Splash Screen. Use the default 'logo.png' for now b) Visit your Theme. Click the theme and enter then name of the splash screen you configured in the Themes Splash. c) Refresh app in simulator. You should see the buzztouch logo appear, then fade away after 1 second. d) Adjust the Splash Screen properties as needed (like using your own logo) Header Image in menu list: a) Create a menu list, or open one you already created b) In the Advanced Properties, you'll need to change two things. The Header Image and the Header Image Layout. c) For the header image, enter the name of an image in the BT_Images folder, or a URL - not both. Small Device is for iPhone, Large Device is for iPad d) In the layout, enter the size of the image for Image Height and Image Width. The app needs to know the dimensions of the image so it can build a 'box' to place the image in above the menu. If you have already done this, and it doesn't work, somethign isn't right. Lots of folks, and me too, have created hundreds of screens this way and we havn't heard any issues yet? It's OK if you can't get it to work, we just need to figure out where you / or the software is getting stuck.
