at the bottom of this page (attachments section) you will find pax galaxia backgrounds for download.
"backgrounds" are replacements for the default black space background you see under the stars when you are playing a game.
the default background is also included in case you want to switch back.
some backgrounds comprise of two files. "game.jpg" is the actual background. "lower_game.jpg" is the graphic loaded when you press enter and get the chat box to type in stuff to say. (obviously you only see it in multiplayer games, because you cant talk in single-player games.)
to install the backgrounds (different depending on your operating system):
note: when you download the background at the bottom of this page, you will have to rename it to "game.jpg". also if you download a "lower_gamex.jpg" you will have to rename it to "lower_game.jpg" before moving it into your pax folder.
mac:
1) go to where your "Pax Galaxia.app" file is located. (its the thing you double-click on to launch the game.) if your pax galaxia is in the dock (thing at bottom of screen) then hold down the Command key and press the pax galaxia icon in the dock once. then a finder window will pop up showing you where it is located.
2) right-click on the "Pax Galaxia.app" file. (if you can't right-click, then hold Control key while clicking.) you will get a menu. click on "Show Package Contents". a new finder window will pop up. double click on "Contents". then double-click on "Resources". a long list of files will show up. the file we want to replace is "game.jpg".
3) (optional) you might want to make a copy of the game.jpg file before you replace it with the new background. if so, find it in the list of files in the window you opened up at the end of step 2), and right-click (control-click) on it. select "Duplicate" from the menu. now you have a copy of it.
4) on this page, scroll to the bottom and download the background you like. the "game.jpg" will show up on your desktop or in your downloads folder in the dock. drag it over to the Resources folder. it will ask you if you want to replace the one already there. say "Replace".
5) open pax. (if it was already open, then quit and re-open it.) your new background should be shown in the game.
pc:
1) go to where you installed Pax Galaxia. i can't give you much help here, but it's probably in C:\Program Files\Pax Galaxia\
2) (optional) you might want to duplicate the "game.jpg".
3) download the background on this page and move the "game.jpg" file downloaded to your Pax Galaxia folder. say Yes when you are asked to replace it.
4) quit pax if it was open already. open pax. your new background should be shown in the game.
Note: some backgrounds also have the "lower_game.jpg" file. in that case, you might want to make a copy of your original "lower_game.jpg" file as well.
