roGridScreen Overhang

Hi,

I am trying to set the Overhang on a roGridScreen from a web server but have been unsuccessful. I changed only one line in the simplegrid example:

theme.GridScreenLogoHD          =  '"pkg:/images/Overhang_Test_HD.png"

to
theme.GridScreenLogoHD          = "http://192.168.1.200/images/Overhang_Test_HD.png"


The overhang does not load in the second case.

Suggestions?

Thanks

    Overhangs must be stored locally. In most cases, you'd just bundle them into your pkg, but if you must use images from the cloud, download them to tmp:/ first using roURLTransfer.

    Thanks Chris. I will try the roURLTransfer method. The use case in this instance requires an ability to update the overhang image from cloud -- so we cant use pkg:/ to store the overhang
