Have you tried setting the wallpaper through the Album? I'm fond of using the slideshow in viewing pictures because pictures look better in slideshow view, right?
Now, i want it to be set as wallpaper from the slideshow mode, is that possible? it just looks good in slideshow mode, and i want the wallpaper to look just as how it is displayed in slideshow mode. Is it possible?
sounds like the slideshow thingy have a better resizing algotitme then just using today picture have
i sugest that you take the picture to your pc and work on it there with resizing and such and take it back to the xda and use it as "wallpapir"
the slideshow on the device cant do anything "magic" which programs on a pc cant do much better
Thanks rudegar,
Whats the image size of XDA wallpaper/screen (pixels/inch)? So lets say I already have edited it on my PC and uploaded back to XDA. how will I set it as wallpaper? the last time I used the Today option, it made my picture translucent, why is that? is there any feature there where we could stretch the wallpaper to fit the screen?
there is some registry setting which remove the translucent thing
i dont recall it though try search the forum
i would try some of the today theme creator programs they make it all pretty easy
I really don't want to start threads, I searched for this but only found a today plugin, or flash backgrounds. Please if someone knows such thing tell me. There should be such a thing. I will love 2 hav it.
no relpy
oh...plz. reply

As far as I know, and after searching for a themes player myself, I discovered there are no free or free to try players. $15 and up. If my memory serves me correctly, the company who provides theme player programs is "wasp". Google to find more.
A little more help
Well i searched a lot on google, but unfortunately couldn't find the required thing (mayb im too bad, but not that much). All i find relative was "Wasp Barcode Technologies Wasp Mobile Asset Desktop" , "wasptech.com" but they make something else or mayb im missing something. Are u sure this one is the thing i want, i mean which plays gif as a background. Moreover could u tell anything which can set html page as background. Kindly please guide me.
aaah i get something its netwasp. U know wen i searched for wasp themes player....etc i got nothing but wen i searched 4 exactly "theme player programs" then i got that
very close to wat i want, as the theme generator can import gif, ive once saw them b4 but left as they may b heavy. Well a simple standalone gif only background animator would b the best 4 me
try "animated today"
no one is exactly understanding me . Animated today and FlashTheme Player are same and FlashDash and FlashThemes Pro are same. Both use Flash Player which is much resource taking and even wen it uses gif u need a theme generator for it and its so unreal. Wat i need is just as u simply set a jpeg as background u could set an animated gif.
well as i understang it, you cannot set a jpeg to animate. you need a series of jpegs and then convert it to a .gif file, there are programs to do this, then you can use todaygif to set it on your screen

I know that, not a stupid . U didn't actually understood me. I ve searched every where and i dont need any today PLUGIN or any Flash based themes, thats what my topic clearly states. What i was saying, meant that a program that enables u to set animated gif just like the way we usually use to set jpeg, bmp... pictures by default as background in the ppc.

I think Ive got what you're asking for below in the attached cab files. Install both, preferrably to main memory. The HTC gif player is what actually animates the gifs. The other cab is a gif to get started.If your today screen is cluttered ie: battery status, launches, etc., only smaller gifs can be played...80x80 or under. On the other hand, if nothing is on your today screen, you can animate gifs 128x128 and up to 240x320. You can go to www.funformobile.com and download any size animation you want for your background. After the cabs have been installed, go to your Today settings, click "items", and check the box by GIF Today, click o.k., the gif should appear. After you've downloaded animations from the above website, click the right side of the animation on the today screen, a box pops up, click "confg", tap on the parameter boxes to put your larger animation in its place. I created a folder in my SD memory, named it Today GIFs, and the animations I downloaded were saved to that folder. Sure hope I'm understanding your wants, and this helps!

hotdog, i appreciate ur efforts and thank u for ur help. I ve said that i didn't need a TODAY PLUGIN (its useless), i need a thing that can animate e.g this .gif person on today's background (see pic1) like this (see pic2) or any other gif. Sorry if im bothering too much
I think this could be done if there is u can set an HTML page as today background (not plugin), is there any prog for that ?

The GIF on my today screen is the gif taken from your attached zip file. It is actually animated on my today screen by the HTC Gif player whose download file I've attached in this thread. The player will animate pictures when you tap on them anywhere in the directory..not just the Today screen.

Here's an app that lets you see all your pictures and photos as a slideshow on the Today screen. After installation, go to Today settings, items, checkmark the box by PHM pictures, highlight name, options, set to your choosing.

Not sure which program you are using for animated gifs, but I've had good results with Microsoft GIF Animator. Search Google for it. It's an old program but it works great on XP, not sure about Vista though. Worth a try.
Palette?
Check the palette size. I think GIF can have upt o 256 colors. If your original image has more than 256 then the inbetween colors will dither. Can you try a full 256 color palette and no dither?
Animated GIF will mostly always look like that since their colors only a little..if you want to make a perfect animated pics..you got to use flash
hey guys thanks for your speedy replies!
I downloaded the microsoft gif animator.. that works nicely even though it is old
That forced me to save all images as gifs before placing them in the animated gif which incidentally removed the fuzziness from the images!
I guess you cant make jpegs an animated gif without losing a lot of the data and causing fuzziness.. good to know thanks guys
