Custom WD Main Screens
« on: October 12, 2010, 11:08:09 PM »
Shut down WD before making any changes to these files, and make backups to any files before making any changes.

Attached is a file called "custom-main-screen". Replace what Is in this file, with what is in your "wdisplayftp.reg" This file can be found Under wdisplay, data backup. Then click "Save"

Once complete, Double click on the "wdisplayftp.reg" file

If you plan on using the webcamimage, you may need to change the directory path in that file, Mine is set to D:\

Did you close WD first, then do the changes then exit Regedit or boot the .reg file and then finally restart WD?

Hopefully if others share there's, Maybe this can be made a sticky.

Thanks for sharing your custom main screen!  It has been rather interesting to customize my screen; you gave me a great start, thanks.

Not sure, I will ever finish, it is a work in progress.  The main screen is not published on my web site, so below is what I want to see (for now).
Again, thanks for getting me off to a great start!

you can get WD to export the registry settings (see under action, update windows registry entry now)
then double clicking on that .reg file will re import it
if you wanted to use someone elses template

Greetings!
Yes, below is the current screen capture, and attached to this message, are the settings, used in wdisplayftp.reg.
Word of caution, be sure to back up your files, before making the change.
