More S-Note templates?

There's only a few templates included with the app. I was thinking I was gonna go on Play Store and find a ton of apps with templates to spark my creativity, but there's nothing there...of the ones included, the recipe and travel models are useful, as is the background changer. Other tnan that, the templates are severly lacking.

You can make your own templates. I used Photoshop to create a blank document, about 1095x800 (pixels) and saved as a photo. You could also take a photo or screen shot of an image.

Once you have the image, save it to your Gallery (or Dropbox, if you are using).

Next, open a new note in S-Note. In the upper left corner, click the pencil/paper icon to switch into Edit mode. Then, in the upper right corner, click the 3 arrows (options) and choose Change Background. Instead of using one of the stock images, click the Gallery button in the upper right corner and browse to the image you saved in your gallery (you will have other options as well, depending on what apps are installed on your device). Navigate to and choose your template, then crop to size. If you set your original image at about 1095x800 you should be able to resize to the maximum. Close to exit back to SNote and now your image will be in the background of the note.
 
I needed a template with better lined paper, i.e white background, smaller spaced lines, different margin. I used borders in a spreadsheet app to create the lines, did a screenshot which I then cropped and saved as jpg.

In s-note I then stated a new idea note, imported that lined image as background with extent set to all pages. I saved that blank doc and use it to start new docs.

I do most of my notes using the pen tool so can work within any line spacing, I just found the stock lined page to big, so didn't get much on a page. I sometimes also insert a text box and can struggle to get text to align with the lines when appearance is important.

Also tried just taking a photo of a conventional notebook page but quality was poor.

I never found a way to add it to the list of templates though?

How do you delete a background image you have created?
