Hello scriveners,
I tried searching around the forum for this, but was unable to find anything super useful. Also, I have both Windows and Mac OS X versions of Scrivener, so I posted in both subforums. Please let me know if there is a better place to ask general questions.
I’m trying to use a custom image for scene breaks and I’ve run into a few problems.
-
I’m not sure the optimal resolution (pixel x pixel) to make the image work well with the line spacing/font size of the manuscript. I assume there is some way to calculate this, but I’m not sure. I’m using Times New Roman, 12-point.

What is the optimal way to insert these? I was able to go Edit > Insert > Image from File, but I also stumbled across someone saying breaking the text into two separate text files for the scene break using Split At Selection made the most sense. HOWEVER, that same person also mentioned being able to use a custom image during the Compile for Separators of text. I’ve got compile pulled up and I don’t see anything letting me do that with either OS X or Windows. Was this feature removed or moved at some point?

What is the background color of Scrivener documents and is there a way to change it? I assume there is, but I’ve yet to find it. I ask because the first image I tried looked great (ignoring spacing issues) except that it was clearly a slightly different background than Scrivener. This really showed up when I compiled to mobi and viewed it on my Kindle.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
