It's my pleasure.

You can use your own bitmap files - just inspect the bmp files in the
Textures folder and replace, or create a new board.ini and a surface.x
file. You can do it easily with Notepad: open cb_teak_surface.x and
change this line

TextureFilename {
 "cb_teak.bmp";

to the name of your bmp file and save it with another name.
