Hey guys, just wondering is it normal that the image in the background is sooooooo pale? This is the first time I've put a pic on the desktop instead of the theamed image and the picture is almost invisible. Any comments?
Select the picture you want to use as your background. It will open in the Picture Viewer. Tap "Menu > Set as Today Background". Setting the transparency of the picture to 0% will make it show up UNfaded.
Effn eh?! My nick should be newbie.
Thanks a lot though

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 tried setting my background image to a custom one and it shows up with this weird white overlay that makes it look really bright (darkening the picture doesn't really help). I have the same picture set as my splash screen and it looks great there, but as a background, it (or any other non-system image I've tried) looks horrible. What's going on here?
If you mean the Today background, and setting it through Start > Settings > |Personal| > Today* - known. It's done on purpose to enhance/keep legibility of items on the Today screen.
There's two things you can do..
A. make your own Theme with the image.
B1. Open the Pictures & Videos application
B2. Open the picture of interest
B3. Menu > Set as Today Background...
B4. Adjust the Transparency Level to read 0%
B5. OK
Awesome. I tried the B option and it worked great. Thanks
Hi all,
I suppose you all have tried the option to choose any foto as today screen background on WM5. That works fine. The trouble is Windows pales the fotos, which means it changes to contrast to a "milky" style. Does anyone now how to stop that ?
Greetings

There is a transparency setting. When you select which photo you want to use as your background in Pictures and Videos (tap and hold and select "Set as Today Background") another screen shows up that lets you choose the Transparency Level. Set it to 0% and it will show up as it would normal when you look at the picture.
i am trying to put an image as my background but when i put the image up it looks like it has a gray tint over it. the pic looks fine on the computer or even when i view in the pics and vids software but not when i put it as my background. i used jpg to save the image. thanks for the help
Sounds as if you set your image from the 'Today' settings control.
If you set the background image from the menu in 'Pictures & Videos' program, there is a setting for transparency level. The default transparency level grays out the image. The same thing happened to me.
Try it out and let us know if that works.
worked like a charm. thanks alot
I want to place a picture I took in portrait as my background. I turned off scrolling desktop assuming this would allow me to not have to crop the photo to a landscape picture, but it still askes me to crop it everytime. I thought maybe it was Go Launcher, but it has the same menu in all launcher so it is part of CM7/Android2.3.
Does anyone know how to add a full (top to bottom) picture as the background without having to crop? Thanks in advance!
Ok so I guess I should try google before I ask...so allow me to do the honors.
