A gimmick on the camera is to overlay a picture frame/graphic when taking photos.
Does anyone know how the rules for making these picture themes ?
The one example we have, the faux magazine cover, is a 4 frame GIF,
with no set transparency. It seems to remove the black (#000000) instead?
I have tried to replicate my own, without any success.....
I tried:
A single frame with black
A single frame with transparency
A 2 frame with black
A 2 frame with transparency
etc.. etc...
All at 256 colours..
Does anyone know what is the correct process?
As I need to get an idea sorted before tomorrow morning
cheers

Hey guys, how can i set my background to clear not tranparent
tnx
clear not tranparent
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
dont really understand what you mean
you want it to be clear but not transparent ?
clear then how ?
just a colour ?
You probably mean the picture on your Today-screen.
That is an interesting question I would like to know.
Furthermore since I have upgraded to 1.72 the picture I have on my Today screen has lowered 2-3 mm, so there is a white band right over my date display.
Anyone know an answer to adjust that (and change the picture from being transparant to bright)
i still have no clue what you want
you can adjust the background picture in a theme maker
i mean the opaque wallpaper in today's screen. not transparent
so you want remove your wallpaper?
hey double_ofour, i\'m not sure either what you want, but i\'ll try..
anyway, if you mean the transparency of the picture you\'re using on your today screen, here\'s what you can do:
1 Go to Pictures, select the pic you want to use as background
2 Click Tools > Set as Today Wallpaper
3 Then from there, you can set the transparency level for that. (0-100%)
But if you mean for the picture quality on your today screen to be more crisp and clearer.. I guess it just depends on the quality of the picture you use. I tried using a high res pic as a walpaper, and it appeared to be more crisp and clearer.
Or did you mean for your background to be just a plain screen?? -- I haven\'t really tried that yet, but the only work around i can think of right now is for you to find a nice plain pic (any color you want, perhaps a plain white jpg will do) then use that as your background. (sorry for this lame suggestion, i\'m just trying to exhaust all options)
Is this what you meant?
like Guts_S; i'm also trying to digest what you want to do so i'll give it a shot as well. if you want to clear up your today screen; as in the only thing left is the wallpaper then you should download the app "no plugins today". put it in your start menu; clicking it will clear up the today screen and leave only the wallpaper / pic you have. clicking the app again will restore all the today plugins.
as guts_s said; if you simply want a plain color (no pic whatsoever) then simply save a plain colored pic, sync it to your ppc and use pictures to use it as the wallpaper...
are we there yet?
cheers

I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Android (doubt it), HTC Sense in general or the HTC Photos app..
But what I'm finding is that pictures with gradients (usually ones computer generated) have their gradients shown very bady and makes the picture look terrible. Instead of doing a smooth colour transition, it sort of does it in chunks..

As you can see here, isntead of fading smoothly from the red to black, it does those ugly layers. I first noticed it when I had this picture set as the lock screen picture because it does it there too. In bright light its almost impossible to tell, but in the dark it tooks terrible.
Sometimes when I look at the full picture in the Photo app it doesn't do the gradient so badly, but when I go to pinch zoom the slightest it instantly changes to look like that. (isnt just a problem with the one picture btw). I thought it might be something to do with the large picture being resized to fit the screen, but I resized the picture on a computer to be smaller than the screens dimensions and it does the same thing.
Another slight issue I picked up is that black areas in a wallpaper picture don't show as 'true black'. When I view the picture with the black background fullscreen in Photos, the black areas are true black (tested at night - true black of AMOLED screen). But when the picture is set as background, there is a noticeable difference between the blackness of the background and the 'true blackness' of the bottom of the notification bar...
Might be hard to see, but to show what I mean:

Does anyone have any explanation for these problems, and even better, fixes?
I've got HTC Legend unrooted

Love the phone but today I noticed a problem, taking a pic at any resolution will produce great images bar a very thin dotted live about 30% of the way up the screen if taken in portrait. Try it yourself take a photo of a sheet of paper then zoom right in and scan around I tried before and a after camera FW update and its still there.
That's new Can you post a photo of yours, so we can get an idea of the problem ?
Yes, please post a pic.
How can I solve the problem of streaked backgrounds?
when I set a picture taken from my archive as a background it extends all over.
I don't own the device, but I ALWAYS use Tholotis from the play store for backgrounds. You can opt not to crop the picture, and I think it does a good job of fitting it to the screen.
Thanks but didn't help me.
I resolve with the app Image 2 wallpaper. The best one to set image on this phone.
