Hi! when i put a background on my pocket pc (wm2003) i can't see the background correctly, the background have a oppacity on it . so its frustrating me.. do you have a solution ? sorry my english suck so i can't explain my problem correcly
It is very simple. Go to programs -> picture viewer. Select the picture you want for background from there and it will let you change the opacity setting.
Just set it to 100% and you will see the image right.
Wow, that is simple, and I couldn't figure out how to do it, heh. I was just setting it as the background from the file explorer.

I have a lovely photo as my today wallpaper but it is faded out so much it's spoilt. Is there a way I can make it display without any transparency. I have searched these forums and gone through all the option I could find on the phone and didn't find anything.
Thanks

Trying viewing the photo through pictures & Videos in start menu programs. Then choose photo and go to menu, you will see set as today background, then you can adjust transparency!
Hope this helps
Great, thank you. I would never have found that. GF is looking good on the phone now.
Thanks again.
How about is it possible to make the start menu background opaque so that I can actually read what is in the start menu??
I would rather use a registry setting than a tweak tool, thanks.
I find that when I 'Use this picture as a background' (WM6, Dopod D810) the image appears but it's always 'whitewashed'. By that, I mean it's faded to white - I'd prefer to see the photo in it's full colour with no faded look.
I'm certain that in the early days of WM5 this used to work fine?
Any ideas would be appreciated
use picture & video viewer to find the picture you want to use as your background. tap and hold for the context menu and select "Set as Today Background..." a screen will appear where you can select transparency. set it to 0% and you should be in business!!
Thanks cortezzi, I'll give it a go.
Any idea of XnView Pocket does it? I can't seem to find a 'set as wallpaper' option.
*can't find it*
Also tried out a trial version of Resco Photo Viewer and although it allows me to Save > Use as Home Screen then set the viewable image area and transparency (which I set to 0), however the new wallpaper never appears despite receiving the message 'Picture was correctly set as Today wallpaper'.
Settings > Today shows the background picture is currently set to 'Custom Wallpaper'
Is there a registry hack I can do to stop the default Today settings from adding transparency to new background images?
I had the same problem.. In my case it was caused by the theme I had installed. Try a different theme or modify the one you use.
as helpful as ever....thanks blitzwurst
i tried using a plain colour theme with spb menu but any custom today backgrounds i choose still come out with transparency. how exactly do you suggest i do this? i'm certain that it used to work fine (no transparency) under WM5....
i'm just eager to make use of the great backgrounds another xda user suggested on the Slide2Unlock topic (I think) at http://www.zuned.be !
That Zune site is pretty nice!
In my case I had to get a theme (.tsk) editor and embed the background I wanted into the Theme as opposed to selecting an image from the device to use as a background.
no worries, i might do the same...any recc's on a good theme editor to use?
does it run on the device or on a pc?
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 have 2 quick questions...hope u guys can help...
1)is there a way i can improve the quality of the wallpaper i set... the pics i use as wallpaper r super fine but the when i set them as my background the look like it was taken with a cheap camera...
2) When i remove some apps on my wing some time i still have this ugly icon that does notting... n its bugging the hell out of me...i tried everything i can u get rid of this left-behind icons but there still the...n advise???
wallpaper- try setting the wallpaper through the file explorer. this will allow you to set the transparency. I'm assuming by "cheap camera" you mean the grey overlay thing.
icons- connect your device to activesync and explore it to device>windows>start menu. delete the unwanted icons.
thanks i got thouse ugly icons off but the wallpaper problem is still the ... its not the trasperacy ....for example do n look for a nice pic of what ever u want on ur ppc n the click on it n set it as ur background now go look @ it on ur home screen... i doent look so nice does it...
Same thing here. When i set the wallpaper (using a file explorer) the image looks like it's converted to 16 colors or something. It's far from sharp en perfect as when i look at it on my pc or with my favourite imageviewer.

I have WM5 and when setting an image as wallpaper the image looks bad on the today screen. How did you guys fix this?
The default images from the themes are showing fine. Only when trying to change the image I have this issue.
Thanks
Maybe I'm missing something.
When I add any background image to today screen, it becomes almost white, it never looks real.
Is there any simple way to change it?? And make it look normal??

Transparency setting. Set to 0.
If you can't find transparency then go into file explorer and find your image. When you open it, click menu then set as background. This will allow you to set the transparency of the image.
Guys thanks much!
Actually I tried to set an image from gallery as my background and transparency sett. was there.
However it's not in the theme/backgrounds settings.
