change cr48 profile pic

The first thing you need to do is install Picnik, it's an image editing web app. Download here. You'll need the picture you want to use as you profile pic on a USB drive. Plug it into your cr48. Load up picnik. Click on the upload a photo button.
Your usb will be in the panel on the left. Chose your picture and edit anyway you want. Then hit the save and share button on the right.
Choose png as your save format.
Click save photo.
In the dialog that appears you will be saving your picture to a location. In order to replace the current profile pic head to the chronos folder.
Find the PNG file that is your account name.Click on it and hit ok. Confirm that you want to replace it with the new one and then logout. Then shut down. When you restart you should then see your new profile pic.

  3. oh, heres the thing, and I think this may be why I can't find the file. I didnt take a picture when prompted during the setup. I skipped it and now I can't find a way to re-take it.

  4. the only way i can think of fixing this is there's a tiny pinhole by one of the rubber feet. stick a paper clip or something small and pointy in there to press the button that resets the cr48 to factory sent condition. you will lose all files you've downloaded. then just go through the steps to set up your your cr48 for the first time again.
