I was wondering if there is any widget available which shows a slideshow of pictures, not just one picture a slideshow.
Preferably 2x2.
I like the effect of the original widget, with the border and the shadow effect, would be great if there was one like that but a slide show.
Thank You.
me too!!!!!!
There is one very nice, and FREE :
Turtle Photoframe
2x2 2x4 4x4 widgets
You just have to select a folder with your pictures, the show time for each picture (in seconds) and if you want a border (white or black, thin or thick).

Hey guys, how can i set my background to clear not tranparent

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
I was checking zedge.net and found the wallpapers were posted there all of so small resolution. At first I thought it was the 480*800 resolution but then found the HD2 walls were right, but not Desire's. Why?
Its because as you swipe through the screens the wallpaper moves. I don't have a problem with them
While you're right about the wallpaper moving, the Zedge files are oversized. Try to set a standard wallpaper using the built-in function, not Zedge. You'll be brought to a screen with a crop rectangle that you can move around the picture, to select what will be shown on the screen. The crop is significantly smaller than the actual image.
The problem is... even the HTC original wallpapers are too large, as well. I don't think it's a Zedge-only issue. I wonder how the N1 handles standard wallpapers...

Try giving that crop rectangle a pull at one of the corners or sides.
Thanks for the tip, I had no idea you could resize the crop rectangle
Well... I guess that leaves just Zedge acting weirdly...
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...
When I use gallery/select/set as/wallpaper and crop as necessary, the displayed wallpaper is always larger than what I cropped to so not all of it shows up, hope that makes sense
What am I doing wrong?
I can't answer your question about how to crop your images for wallpaper, but I use the Mulitipicture Live Wallpaper app and it shows (and rotates) my photos so that they fit the screen.
ok, will have a look at that.

I have removed the clock and wide weather widget which shows as standard on the s2 and put beautiful widgets however its not as nice as the stock widgets
I've managed to put the clock back but the weather widget isn't wide and only covers half the space
How do i get full width widget back
Pls help thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Hold down finger on widget then it should get an outline you can drag to make it bigger (if using touchwiz)
Press and hold the weather widget.
It will show rectangular box with yellow lines outlining the extents of the widget. Drag the triangular (steel coloured)marker to fit the whole area.
You need to have enough space to expand the widget to its maximum size.
