Hello All,
Is it possible to have our OWN desktop background image (.jpg) selected / displayed when TouchFLO 3D is ON/Selected ?
If NO! Can we modify/update the theme to have / allow to select custom image for background?
Thanks.
Yes off course:
Goto: Tab Settings and click on Background.
Here you can browse for and select your background image.
Cool... Got it. Thanks for the guide .
I Got it in Tab: Settings - Wallpaper.
Thanks.
where is tab settings?
That is the Today Screen TABs located at bottom of the screen. "Settings".

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 tried searching the forums but could not find how to set the transparency of a JPG or BMP on the Today screen when Touchflo3D is disabled. Currently I get a greyed out background. Previously on earlier phones there was an option to set the transparency level when selectring a today background but the Touch HD does not have this option.
I wold appreciate any help in solving this problem.
Thanks,
go to pictures and video, tap and hold the image you want to set as background and select on the popup menu "set as background..."
there you can select the transparency of the image
Knew it had to be somewhere

Great, Thank you. Tried in Album and Explorer but not there. Working perfectly now.
Hi All,
Firstly, please go easy on me, I'm new to windows mobile.
I am having issues with my O2 Touch Cruise, I have M2D installed and M2DC and have tried a number of backgrounds but all I ever see is the blue background to the home screen. Has anyone got any ideas? Everything else changes and the background to all other tabs changes, just not the home screen.
Any ideas, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I've looked at hh_fw_background.png in the windows directory and this image is the correct wallpaper.
Many thanks.
Mark
You should be able to change this under "Settings", "Personal", "Today". There you can select and click a picture as background. Try to use it!
Another solution would be to use M2DC for changing the order of your applications, fonts and styles.
In M2DC go to Background tab clear the path first and then use the three dot button to go to the location where your new background 'png' is located and use it as the new background.(The background photo must be in png format).
Thanks,
I now have a nice looking home screen

Any image I use gets whited out.
The first screen shot is how any image shows as wallpaper & the second shot is how the image shows correctly with the inbuilt 'Pictures & Video' program (other viewers also show the images correctly, but are whited out when applied as Today wallpaper.)
I've had my D2 since Feb & have installed/uninstalled lots of software,
but before all this the wallpaper was displaying ok.
Anyone any ideas of what's happening & what I can do to rectify it?
Thanks,
Steve.
stock D2 with 6.1
Don't use settings > today to set wallpaper - this will give you transparency.
Use pictures&video > menu > set as background. There you can also set transparence level to 0.
That's worked. Also found that when I used Slide2View (has the 'set as Today wallpaper' function) the wallpaper was fine.
Thanks S-Line,
Steve.

michealjohn,
Might I suggest you update your signature with your info for what ROM you are on etc, or at least state what ROM you are on before you post a ROM related question?
Otherwise no one can help you.
sorry for not providing enough info...here we go to my signature
For me is Start/Settings/All settings/Today/in Appearance tab , check box Use this picture as background and Browse. It changes picture in main windows menu and also lock screen.
max17,
Perfect.. this is what I want. thanks for you help.
And I have one more query when I browsed the files for setting the background, it's not showing up all the images. In type drop down, it has "Picture Files" and what are the format it will support like (jpg,gif....).
Since I have more files in one of my folder and when I searched thru' this option nothing is showing.. any clue...?
