I recently upgraded my B2S cabinet from two screens to three.

 

When configuring the tables, I moved the DMD window to the new screen:

Is there a way to reconfigure the backglass screen to show a different graphic that doesn't have the DMD/speaker grill section?

 

Or, do I have to go download all new backglass files?

 

 

Thanks!

Try right click on backglass and on the pulldown tab for the grill setting change to hidden.

That worked perfectly for the VPX tables. But, there is no menu for VP9 tables.

Vp9 use the Same b2sserver as vpx.
I guess you Just have a .directb2s where the "Dmd&speaker" is fix in the bg graphic.
Maybe try another, different b2s.
Or even better, use b2s Designer to modify this backglass to your needing

OK, I found out the problem.  Some of my backglass files are .exe and not .directb2s files.

 

The .exe backglasses do not respond to right-click and therefore can't be changed.

Yes, there are some (very few) VP9x Tables which uses These b2s exe.
These are "compiled b2s with integrated b2sserver"
One urgent hint: These backglasses only Work with a "old plain-style" screenres.txt, WITHOUT commentary Lines in it.
