SW 2008 sheet background

Some time back someone posted some sheet images for sheet backgrounds.

One had a coffee cup stain

The other had weld burns and a footprint:

I know the original sheet background is found at install location\SolidWorks\data\Images\drawings

How do I change the sheet background? I tried this under Tools > Options > Colors > Color Scheme Settings > Drawings Background but that is something else.

How do I change this to the other images? One option is to rename the default sheetbackground1.bmp.

In addition to this, where else can I find additional sheet backgrounds?

(I know, too much time on my hands)

Paul,
I believe this is the original thread on the SolidWorks forum. It has a couple other images too. It doesn't really mention the appropriate way to implement the images however.

As far as I know, you only have the option to use the picture or a color. Therefore, the only way to do it would be to save the picture you want over the default.

Thanks. I changed them to BMPs and renamed one to "sheetbackground1.bmp" and it worked. Now to come up with new stains... actually I better work for awhile, but will get back to this.
