When I view flash animations in dolphin mini browser, for example this one http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/568711 I get a white mesh over lay on the animation. Its kind of hard to spot, but when you look closely you see it.
Is it not possible to view the flash animation "pure" so to speak, that way it would look so much better.

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
So we have weather on the todayscreen.. but it's a bit laggy. Atleast the today screen doesnt feel as smooth as without the weather on it.
I believe it's because of a gif having to play the small cropped weather animation. So where are these located? I want to make them static images and see if it improves today-performace.
Any idea where they are located?

They are actually layered Mode 9 files.
Not so easy to change.
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...
Honestly, I'm not really sure why this has to be so difficult. There seems to be a million different ways to set a scrolling wallpaper.
First let me tell my setup. I'm using Nova Launcher and I force it to remain in landscape mode, so when I'm on my home screen it won't rotate. This should make setting my wallpaper easier. I just need wallpaper for landscape.
I basically want to get a wallpaper that's 5300x1600 and I want it to be DOT-BY-DOT on my background. In theory this wallpaper should never have to be cropped since the resolution is basically 2 nexus 10 screens side by side. The number of pages I have on my homescreen should simply only determine how far the wallpaper shifts each time I move to another page. Less pages means greater shift.
However, no matter how I set the wallpaper, it always seems to crop completely randomly and wrong. For example, the Nova wallpaper setter has a strange cropping indicator (looks like a fat cross) that makes no sense, and the background ends up looking huge (cropped too much) and doesn't shift much when I move to the left and right through screens.
Can anyone help me find the perfect way to setup my scrolling wallpaper? Thanks.
i dont know about scrolling...but you can use simple image wallpaper to use a static image without cropping and it sets it as a live wallpaper even though its not but works perfectly
You may have to use this:

I've had TONS of trouble with using the Gallery to set my wallpaper due to cropping. On the other hand, I THINK QuickPic worked well but its been years since I've used that. Well, A year.

Use nova launcher, edit this wallpaper you got with paint, change the resolution to 2560x1600. Set this wallpaper with nova and it will be DOT-BY-DOT on your background. You can't do it with 5300x1600.
The fat cross is for the landscape preview (the horizontal bar of the cross) and the portrait preview (the vertical one).
I'm using Nova and I look for wallpapers that are around 4000x2000 so that when I crop, it fits around the tablet's resolution without losing quality.
Basically the highlighted portions in the cross will be the background of the primary home screen. It'll shift left and right as you scroll. It's not at all complicated, not even from Gallery. It's quite easy to operate.

Hi everyone!
Currently i am using a different look screen from the huawei themes. What i am missing is this nice circle animation when you plug in the usb cable to load your phone (the one where the background blurs and a ring/circle animation shows on the screen, showing the current battery status).
Can anyone tell me how to get this animation with a different lock screen? It looks like this only works with the magazine theme. I know it is nothing dramatic but i like the animation
You can't.
Really? There is no way to edit the lock screen in any way? I don't mind digging deeper and create an own theme for it. Want to learn about creating own themes for longer time.
Well, if not, this is sad, because i hate it that the clock on the magazine-lockscreen is at the bottom instead of top.
