On my new htc touch pro2 i have changed the background picture in the today screen. But I want to change the opacity. I can't find this option. It is not showing up in the settings-today selections.
I have tried to use the picture album and then the option " set as background" but there also the option to change the opacity does not appear.
I do not use the touchflo but the regular windows interface.
can anywone help ?
Open the default WinMo Pictures & Videos app. Open an image. Tap "Menu" and "Set as Today Background..."
There, you can set the transparency.

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
Paddy
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 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

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...?

Hi there,
first of all, make sure that you install sdkcert.cab, it can be found here in the downloads section at the bottom of post #2. Then simply install the relevant cab file to your device and it should change your taskbar icons.
Yes, but I want to change icons and bar
This app changed only icons.
And whats more I cannot access my menu after installing this app. [Icon with windows logo disappeared]
Ahh i think I now understand what you meant.
If you are wanting to change the appearance of both the Top Taskbar and Bottom Soft Keybar, this is how I did it:
I currently use Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.1 to customise the appearance of my Home Screen and other screens (even where both the Taskbar and Soft Keybar reside to make them Transparent).
You can download and install the cab (install it to your sd card) for it here.
You first need to set a Background wallpaper first as it will not work properly with just the default background, normally you actually need to set a new background first.
Now, to set the Task bar and Soft KeyBar to transparent using Max TTM, open up Max TTM, go to the WM6.5 tab and under the Component Heading, make sure it is set as Both. Then only select the two bottom checkboxes (Enable Standard Deployment and Soft Reset after Convert), then click the Convert button to enforce the changes.
Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.
I hope this helps you out.
