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.

Here’s a print screen from mine - not brilliant resolution mind you.

I like this one, which appears to move/pulse when you scroll the screen, but perhaps not so much fun for a desktop wallpaper…

Thanks for your answer guys.

Sadly, no HD version of it. But I must say Johnegolfuk picture is EXACTLY the one I’m looking for, but in HD.

Hope someone can help me out ^^

I would be so glad to get that exact same one in HD.

Can’t find it anywhere on google. I’ve searched for hours :-S

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.

Excellent advice, I thought about that, but sadly I didn’t manage to do it :-(

 

Would you be able to do it ?

Still no one to give me a hand for this simple task which would make me immensely happy ?

 

If anyone can give me a link to Sonos software 8.x   I would gladly do it myself.

Hello Mike_123,

 

Thank you for your answer. However, when I click your link, I get a 404 error “404! Page not found“

 

May you please check why ?

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 :-)

Thanks, managed to install it.

Any idea how I can find the source picture on the comp now ? I can only find .dll files

Windows user files ?

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

Or open it and take a screenshot.

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.
