Making a picture as a window background.

[bluelink91]

I'm using this Mail Client script and want to adjust the the windows.  I want there to be an image in the background instead of the windowskin.
This is what the letter looks like:

This is what I want to be in the background:

I'll later make a background for the main part of the Mailbox client, which looks like:

With the main part of this client, I think that there are two windows, so I'm not sure how hard that will be to modify that.
I'm trying to modify all of the scripts I use to have different backgrounds, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Inside the scene you use, add the lines:

@background = Sprite.new
@background.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("namewithoutextensionhere")

Make sure you set the opacity of your main window(s) to 0, as in:

@main_window.opacity = 0 # whereas @main_window is different in your scene I presume

Also don't forget to dispose the background. Where you find everything else disposed, add:

@background.dispose

If you're experiencing problems, give me a shout.

Thanks for the help.  I did a little modifying of other parts and got everything to work fine.
