Question

Sonos 8.0 Wallpaper

Hello Everyone,

 

After many researches, I sadly coun’t find what I was looking for anywhere.

Back in the days, I like the Sonos 8.0 “loading screen” a lot. I would like to have it as a wallpaper, but I can’t manage to find it anywhere :-(  (attached a picture sample of it. I would like a wallpaper of the image behind the error message)

Sonos Support Team suggested I ask my request here ! So let’s give it a chance.

 

Thanks in advance for those who will try to help.

    Thank you

    Have you tried Archive.org?  I was able to find and download version 6.2 looking around 2016.

    Ysh,

     

    I’m not sure if an “HD” version ever existed. And, I’m not sure what “HD” means in your context. I have a 4K monitor on my desktop. 800 x 600 was a great resolution at one point, but that is lame on my current monitor.

    I’ll take even a 800x600 :-)

    If you have a suitably old version of the PC app you could open it in a resource editor and probably extract the original bitmap.

    install Visual Studio (free version), then try opening the DLLs in the resource editor. If you’re lucky you’ll see the bitmaps there.

    Sorry, fixed now but I see you got a version anyway.:thumbsup:

    As people have said the original isn’t in HD anyway so the best I could do is something like this.
