Hey guys I'm new here i have tried looking on the web to solve my problem but no luck...is there a way to fit pictures you transferred from your computer to fit the HD2 screen.
You could use an editing program such as Photoshop or Gimp to resize your pics to the right resolution. Photbucket can resize as well.
480x800 for portrait, or 800x480 for landscape
If what you're trying to do is get the image to also cover the taskbar and softkey bar (top and bottom of the screen), you'll need a tool such as CHT to work that magic for you.
I just used Paint.
Use the wallpaper.hellaphone. com/phone/HTC_HD2 to resize your images. Cheer
Thanks ill try them out and get back to you guys
Best free image editing program EVER is paint.net. Nuff said.
Thanks they all worked but I went with paint.

Anyone can help me to find .tsk (today screen) with Vertical and Horizontal mode?
Those in Microsoft mobile website is only made for Vertical mode :-(
Thank you in advance.
Arto.
the default bliss works well in both modes. I also made a few themes that support both. here is a link http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/profile.asp?ID=94874
hope this helps
kung fu hussle look a bit blurry
yes i know. couldn't get a better quality image that I wanted for the theme. sorry about that.
Thanks for the link for download.
Actually, I am looking for the simple one like what microsoft have on their website. The orange, green, and yellow themes. Unfortunally they are only in Vertical mode. The blue themes that come with the unit (O2 XDA II mini) is vertical and horizontal mode.
Could you create something like that?
Thanks again.
Arto
send me the image you want so I can make a theme for you. i'll make it so that it works in both landscape and portrait. bnycastro(at)yahoo.com
which software to use to make today screens?
I use Thememaker McDeb.
@ bnycastro, could you make some screens of Elektra?
or some Korean movies.
it would be better if you sent me the images you want used. then i can try and make some themes.
If you download the microsoft theme generator that will let you design a vertical theme. And if you download the SPB Extended Theme Generator from SPB it will allow you to create the horizontal theme as well. Works nicely and best of all its all free. Just make sure you read the instructions for SPB carefully to figure out how to do it.

Hi there,
Just put the excellent phone dialer from Vijay555 on my i Launcher (on a K jam), which works just fine - but being a computer duffer I can't work out how to change the phone dial icon to mini - pictures of my family who I'm calling - even though they have been successfully pinned to their slots in Contacts - (they live in My Pictures).
I guess I should shrink them down to icon size - but how do you do that??? !!! aagghhh!!
Can you help??
Thanks!
You'll need a photoshop type program and shrin your icons down then save them as TGA files. Theres instructions on sbsh.nets forums for creating your own icons as well.
I've posted about this here and there - I use claunch as my launcher, but the photoshopping is the same either way.
Find a nice portrait photo, use the crop tool and crop in as close as you can around the face/boobs etc, and make it squarish.
Crop that.
Then resize your nice square crop to 32x32 pixels. That's very small, so there'll be hardly any detail, but it should do the job.

Brilliant - I'm very grateful
Thanks so much - even a knuckle head like me managed to do it - I'm very grateful!
Hi all,
I am programming a today plug-in and I need to draw some icons on the screen.
The problem is that when I draw the Icons on the screen, they appear with sharp white edges which does not give the real feel of the icon when viewed on Windows or open in microangelo studio.
Here is a picture, please notice the edges of the icons, note that resco plug-in draws icons with smooth edges. So how can I elimnate this problem??
Query resolution of icons, appropriate use of trasparency on .ico, use of transparent bitblt, whether you need to use png with an alpha trans layer or an artificial smoother on the drawing routine.
V
Thanks Vijay for the super fast reply,
But I am a begginer in this issue, I see that resco uses png alpha images, but I dont know if I can load png images using LoadImage function.
About Bitblt issue, can you please explain it with a bit more detail?
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks alot
Mohammad
If you want to load a png try SHLoadImageFile, it worked when I tested it just now.
Are you drawing the icons this way (bitblt) to stretch them bigger? If not then why not just use DrawIconEx?
Hi,
I use DrawIcon, ofcourse with no stretching, but still some edges of the icons appear as white.
Now, how to create the alpha image??
Mohammad
Hey guys I downloaded a theme to my phone but i do not like the portrait picture. How do i just change that picture to something else? Thanks!
SEARCH/READ THE USER'S MANUAL!!!! But, if you hold your stylus down on the picture you want as a background, you'll see the little circle things, then a list of options, like right clicking on a mouse, select set as desktop background. Then select how washed out you want it, and select ok. There, that was your freebie. Use Wiki and search the forum from now on.
no i want to change just the portrait picture. only when i slide my slider. i know how to do that. i remember seeing a deal about that now i cant find it.
I'm pretty sure there's no way to change JUST the portait picture. You mean like having 2 seperate desktop pitures with one to display in landscape, and the other in portrait, right?
Yeah. But I found a way of doing. Just a little more work than I intended. Thanks!
HEY! this is give and take here... So spill the beans, how did you do it?
Yeah! this I gotta know about. You may have found a secret no one knows. The other question is: how can you re-size a pic so that when it is used as a desktop background, it only uses a portion of the screen and doesn't obscure say the whole "black theme" in use?
I'll let you guys know as soon as i get it done. Haven't even tried yet. Been playing around with different ROMs to see which I like better. So far I'm diggin the Touch-It Light.

if you want to change picure ionly in portrait mode, bud not landscape, you must force edit the Theme you want.... or, ... maybe if it is multiple images theme, just replace one of them, but most are 1 file, .... in that case you have no chance without any program..
Google search for ThemeGenCE. It works like a charm and allows one to change the portrait (slide closed) and landscape (slide open) to different pics. it will also change almost all of the colors. I'll try to post a screen shot of the Halo3 theme I built with it. I've built about 12 different .tsk files with it so far and all of them turned out pretty well. It will also let you import an existing theme and modify it. I used the black touch skin and applied my own pics.
It automatically resizes pics to fit the screen...
Yeah. That's what I was gonna play with but never had the chance. I forgot what the prog was that's why I never bothered. Thanks!!
the gloss from WM6 doesn't show up when you make a theme using ThemeGenCE?
The gloss???
wow thats nice....this will work with the wing correct???
Yes... I'm currently running it on a wing. I'm having some issues getting the color fades on the start bar to work. It has to do with the WM5 tab but the descriptions are a bit cryptic as to what fields they actually represent. So I built one with a LOT of really out there colors to see what field effects what part of the screen. If you don't use the stuff on the WM5 tab then it will just be solid colors. The Halo3 one wound up just being green instead of the orange/green fade at the top. That screenshot is from the previewer in the program not what actually wound up on the phone.

Probably a stupid question but what were the size image options you put in? In the options it asks about the size of the screen & the size of the start menu
Hey folks, I just extracted the boot image from the G2's bootanimation.zip file and thought I'd share. It's a nice, high-res picture, so it would work perfectly for a wallpaper or whatever.
I may try to create a desktop-size wallpaper from this later. If I do, I'll post it here. Enjoy!
Can you edit it, replace it and have it custom???? I did on my Mogul once lol so just wondering.
tks for the boot image capture
never have figured what size to resize images for wallpaper use on our phone - i've tried the 480X800 our screen is supposed to be, i've even tried simply adjusting the physical size, and gone down to 1.5" X 3.0"
no matter what i do, it will display a nearly rectangular image (horizontal on the long dimension) and then crop to the text portion of that image
i know i can expand the cropping square but still i can only get a horizontally oriented rectangle - and then when i install the captured portion as a wallpaper, the text "G2" is humongeous and pixelated
any guidance for the photoshop challenged? I've got adobe photoshop CS3
Try resizing it to 960x800 and tell me if it works right. The phones screen is 480x800, and the wallpaper scrolls 50% to the left and 50% to the right.
