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?

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
Have you tried setting the wallpaper through the Album? I'm fond of using the slideshow in viewing pictures because pictures look better in slideshow view, right?
Now, i want it to be set as wallpaper from the slideshow mode, is that possible? it just looks good in slideshow mode, and i want the wallpaper to look just as how it is displayed in slideshow mode. Is it possible?
sounds like the slideshow thingy have a better resizing algotitme then just using today picture have
i sugest that you take the picture to your pc and work on it there with resizing and such and take it back to the xda and use it as "wallpapir"
the slideshow on the device cant do anything "magic" which programs on a pc cant do much better
Thanks rudegar,
Whats the image size of XDA wallpaper/screen (pixels/inch)? So lets say I already have edited it on my PC and uploaded back to XDA. how will I set it as wallpaper? the last time I used the Today option, it made my picture translucent, why is that? is there any feature there where we could stretch the wallpaper to fit the screen?
there is some registry setting which remove the translucent thing
i dont recall it though try search the forum
i would try some of the today theme creator programs they make it all pretty easy
when i change the wallpaper of today using the
default option (the box below theme selection)
the wallpaper get whiten (just like the theme set transparency to 30% or so)
i try different theme also have this problem
What can i do? thx
Browse to the picture you like to use as wallpaper with the file explorer. Open the picture and choose "Set as Today Background..." with transparency 0%.
use pictures and videos menu,>send to today bckground
change the transparancy there
or use a_cs s2v which is the best free image viewer and save to desktop
that prog allows you to save much higher quality contact pictures as well
Done, thank you very much ^^b
In the most recent ROM I have installed it came with HTC Camera album. Now whenever I try to set an image as a wallpaper for the today screen, I don't get the option to set transparency because the image opens with HTC album. Is there a way around this and/or a way to remove HTC camera album?
Thanks for help

I ran into this issue when I first got my Wizard
Open "Pictures & Videos", select the wallpaper you want, hit the right softkey(Menu) and click "Set As Today Wallpaper" or something to that affect.
From there it'll ask you to set the transparency, thats how it has to be done, atleast the first time.
helped me
thanx
I got a problem. I've installed Hyperdroid1.7 on my energy rom HTC HD2. But it seems i cannot apply a whole wallpaper. When i select a wallpaper from the gallery ... i see the picture on full screen but there is a little crop window you stretch to only see a portion of the photo. Any ideas how can i fix this ?
Thx
This is normal. Select the whole picture.
Try "Wallpaper set and save" from the market (free). It's a much better way of setting wallpaper and fixes the colour & resolution issues that many people complain about.
