Old DSM background images?

[oRBIT]

Anyone happens to have old DSM (v4 and later) background images lying around and perhaps want to share them if possible?

I could extract DSM 4.3 ones if you want?

Would be cool to have them once again (in full resolution) if possible.

Go here Synology Archive Download Site - Index of /download/Os/DSM then select the DSM version you want: a full updater file is what you need ... so not an updater that's a few 10's of MB.

Once downloaded you need to change the extension to .zip and then decompress it. Next I had to find the most likely place that held DSM and that was in a file called hda1.tgz (it was the biggest file) which I decompressed.

From here it's a simple folder navigation...

.../hda1/usr/syno/synoman/webman/resources/default_login_background​

.../hda1/usr/syno/synoman/webman/resources/default_wallpaper​

You'll find the images in there. And repeat for different versions of DSM.


@Rusty I would suggest doing this rather than distributing the images via the forum as the images are probably copyright of Synology.

Good idea, but that pattern doesn't seem to be possible for all DSM-versions.

OK. A bit of trial and error, but it worked for DSM 4.3-3827 for the DS1512+ installer. BTW the 'hda1' folder was what my Mac created when decompressing the hda1.tgz archive. I had to google to find the usual location of the wallpapers in the Linux file system.

This folder structure works for DSM 4.3, 5.0, and 5.2. With DSM 6.0 (7321) it changes to...

.../hda1/usr/syno/synoman/webman/resources/images/1x/default/default_login_background​

.../hda1/usr/syno/synoman/webman/resources/images/1x/default/default_wallpaper​

It just needs a bit of digging about.

Ofc! I didn't mean to publish it on the forum but send it as a pm. Still, didn't get around to doing it, so @oRBIT if you still need it in the next few hours fine, I can dig them up when I get home and get on it if you follow @fredbert advice even better.

Managed to extract according to the guide above, thanks.

Nice!

If anyone is able to share DSM 6.0-7321 privately, since it is no longer available on the Synology Download Center anymore? I ahve a DS1815+ that was sold to me that the former owner never updated the DSM OS. I've searched online elsewhere but nothing promising came up so far. Any advice much apppreciated.

I have everything from 6.2 to 6.2.4, but maybe webarchive site will have older versions

Get into the right time frame of archiving:

Synology Archive Download Site - Index of /download/Os/DSM
