WARNING: This feature is only in the present Beta version of TheWord. Sorry for not catching this sooner. I am using that version and didn’t notice that it isn’t in the current version.
Actually this is very simple to do. Please remember that TW has an “internal memory” of these BookView windows that you set up, and basically every time you open a new one, it will assign it to an internal slot. So if you change the background on a new Bookview window (having 2 others open), and set it to something, it is in the third Bookview window “slot”. You use a different layout with only 1 Bookview window, you will have to follow the instructions below and redo all of this for the number 1 Bookview window slot. This tip is for those of you who like to “pimp up” their software-system… :) Here is an example of what it will look like…
Personally, I would only recommend pastel colors.
Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement 7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it.... Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.
"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.

How to Make it
First of all open the Module Set Icon (click the triangle to the right of the icon).
Here click the Options (for using an Image or a Color).
Click on the “Select…” option and then select an image from your hard drive. If you are using something you found on the Internet, you will need to download it to your hard disk first to now install the image here in “Select…”.
PROBLEMS: If you have don’t see the “Reader’s background image” option, try upgrading your version of TheWord. It is probably older.
This is a great tutorial. Thanks! But on this topic, I don’t get the option “Reader’s Background Image” off the Module Sets drop-down menu–I only have “Reader’s Background Color” as a choice. Can you explain how to get the image choice? Also, you don’t explain how to install images once they’re downloaded.
Hi, I would updated the post to reflect what was missing. I think you need to upgrade TheWord to the most recent version. If it still isn’t there, write Costas or post this as an issue on theWord Forum and see if Costas can discern what is wrong. Most probably version problem to me. For reference, my version that I am using when I made this post is version 3.2.1.1218.
Yes, that would probably be the issue, then. I just downloaded the software today from the site’s home page! Yet it’s version 3.2.1.1167. One would expect to get the latest on the site’s home page, no? I’ll post this in the forum, then go hunting for an upgrade. Thanks.
Ok, it looks like you’re using a Beta version of the software. That feature is not available, from what I can tell, on the current release version.
David,
I think this option to use reader background image is curruntly only in the beta versions of theWord.
Nice tutorial section by the way
Even though this feature is a beta version feature, shortly (in a few months) the next version of theWord should be out in which it is included as a standard feature. I am just “ahead of the game.” :)
