Hello. How can I add small wallpaper in the new look of the Kontakt library? Some have wallpaper, some don't. I can add new wallpaper to the classic look without any problems. However, I want the libraries to have small wallpaper in the new view. Is there any way to do this?

 

Adding small wallpapers (also known as thumbnails or icons) to the new Kontakt library view is possible, but it's not officially supported by Native Instruments. Here's how you can do it:

1. Locate the artwork folder on your system:
   
   • On Mac: Macintosh HD > User > Shared > NI Resources
     
     
   • On Windows: C:\ProgramData\Native Instruments\Kontakt\images
     
2. Create a PNG image for your library with the following specifications:
   
   • Dimensions: 170x127 pixels
     
     
   • File name: Should match the library name exactly, replacing spaces with underscores
     
3. Place the PNG file in the artwork folder you located in step 1.
   
   
4. Restart Kontakt to see the changes.
   

If the library still doesn't show the new thumbnail, you may need to:

• Ensure Kontakt and your DAW have full disk access (on macOS).
  
  
• Remove and re-add the library to Kontakt's browser.
  
  
• Rename non-player libraries, remove them, and re-add them to Kontakt browser under the new "sanitized" name2.
  

Keep in mind that this method is not officially supported by Native Instruments, so use it at your own risk. Also, not all third-party manufacturers provide the necessary images for the new browser view, which is why some libraries may appear with grey folder icons.
