I have had a look but can't see anything that gave me the answer, although I've no doubt missed it...
What is the default res to save a wallpaper at so that it does the following;-
Wallpaper in the Start menu match's the wallpaper in TF3D, yes I know same picture but that's not what I mean, if I had a picture of a car then when the start menu is open then the part of the picture should match with the remaining parts of the picture in display in TF3D..
My Diamond does it all the time, but for some reason nothing is matching up on the Touch

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
All,
Is there a way to do this? All i want is to browse to any picture in my internal storage and set it as a wallpaper on the TF3D Home tab.
I already have the Diamond Wallpaper changer program but pics have to be in a directory right?
Perhaps I've missed something very obvious?!
Thanks
Just go to the settings tab in tf3d, same tab as wifi, bluetooth and other stuff is, there you'll find an option to change the wallpaper aswell
Ha, I knew it was something easy, I'm still used to finding my way with the 'original WM' style interface.
Thanks!
but one thing...you need to downsize pic you want to 320 x 293 so it will look right on your screen.
Hi all,
I was thinking how would be nice if someone could add a menu option for viewing pictures - use as touchflo3D background ( or maybe some picture viewer app which can do this ). Because always when you want to change the background you must slide across the screen to settings tab, select the wallpaper option, click on no ( no default wallpaper ), choose the folder and finally found a picture what you want in that so small thumbnails, click on it and go to the home tab to see how it looks like. But specially in the women pictures you find out (after this ridiculously long procedure) that she has a clock across the face xD.
Correct me if I am wrong. The app with the thumbnails is htc album right? Why there is no possibility to see the image in fullscreen before you select it as wallpaper (as it is in htc album tab) ???
this is so annoying for me, what do you think?
hi there, i have a picture of my missus that i want to put as the lock screen wallpaper however it tiles the same picture as it is smaller than the screen (480x800). i was wondreing if there was a way of getting the picture to be centred in the screen, with a blank background, similar to the XP setting.
i have tried enlarging the photo to 480 x 800 but it doesnt look right

You need something that will resize it and keep the aspect ratio, and then resize it to either 480x... or ...x800, then add a black background to fill the gaps at the top & bottom or sides.
I'll do it for you if you like - just send me a link to the pic.
ah okayyy i think i could work that, i;ll give it a go and if i fail then i will send you a link...cheers
you're a diamond mate, worked a treat just gotta make the top and bottom bar transparent then its looking mint!
Oh by the way could you please let me know how to set the lock screen wallpaper and thanks.
settings > personalise > lock scrren wallpaper

I have been creating a few VW style wallpapers for a while in 480 x 800 as jpeg's.
When I assign it as the today/lock screen it is not centralised. As when I press start the image moves up. If you understand? I'll try and get some screenshots.
I have an Image of a BBS alloy before and I'm sure that this didn't do the same. I was pretty sure the resolution was 480 x 800. Is this correct?
Hoping somebody that creates themes/wallpapers could help me out.
I'm using photoshop CS3.
Thanks,
Al.

I think the image you see when you go into the start menu, is the 'lock screen' wallpaper, so i think it displays this between the top and bottom bars... so if you're using CHT or another app to make your wallpapers fullscreen (i.e. cover the top and bottom bars) it'll look weird.
I had the same issue..... i think
yup 480*800 is correct...
Yeah, I was pretty sure on the resolution. But yes. It does cut out the top and bottom where the black bars are. Is there a way to stop it doing this?
What is CHT? I'm not using that to make them fullscreen I don't think.
Its just when I make the wallpapers because I crop most of the image and line it up with the bottom of the picture for a good "look" It most likley cuts it off on the today screen. Which cuts some of the detail out sometimes. So I have to make sure that it is far enough up the screen. I suppose I could get the resolution between the two bars. Although when you get the lock screen there would be two gaps.
Is there a way to have a different lock screen?
A reg key pointing to the image?
Thanks,
Al.
when i used to be a WM user, this is what i figured out about WM6.5(.x) behavior.
the HD2 has a 480x800 screen. WM6.5 can be set to have a wallpaper (***cough***iPhoneSux***cough). WM6.5 can also be set to have transparent "top" and "bottom" bars.
now, things start to get a little confusing.
1. ideally, we would like to see the ENTIRE wallpaper on the lockscreen and homescreen, with the status/notification icons overlaid.
2. similarly, we would like to see the ENTIRE wallpaper behind the start menu. if transparent "top" and "bottom" bars are used, we would like them to be transparent when the rest of the wallpaper is visible as just described in the scenarios.
3. however, we would like the transparency to go away when an application is running in the foreground (being able to see thin strips of the wallpaper when an application covers the rest of the screen looks silly i guess).
it turns out that WM6.5 ALMOST covers all those requirements. it sort of fails on the homescreen (where it matters most!). now, things get complicated on the homescreen also. there may be:
a. NO homescreen plugin OR...
b. the native "titanium" homescreen OR...
c. HTC's "sense" homescreen (also called touchflo, manila, etc)
now, simply using a 480x800 file yields the following results...
i think i remember that (a) fails, but most of us have SOME homescreen plugin. i think i remember that (c) also fails because "sense" seems to take over the responsibility to draw a wallpaper in its background.
i have been a loyal HTC "sense" user as long as i was using WM. i always had CHT installed as well (Cookie's Home Tab, a plugin to enhance HTC's "sense" homescreen by adding many more options). i believe CHT1.8.5 and later added a new style of wallpapers and the ability to skin" the "top" and "bottom" bars with corresponding strips of the wallpaper. this meant i could just feed it a 480x800 image and it would do the necessary clipping/cropping/skinning to achieve the effect of a seamless wallpaper, whether on the lockscreen or homescreen or when viewing the start menu. a side effect was that my "top" and "bottom" bars were always skinned, even with an application in the foreground, but such is life!
i hope that helps...
