Is it possible to change WP7 home screen background (dark or light) to an actual photo? This would be a great customization tool if it's actually possible.
Unfortunatly, this is still not possible. but it would be a great idea, hope it comes with tango.
thats MANGO

We have a Diamond Background Changer which changes wallpaper according to time of the day. Would it be great also if we also have a wallpaper changer that can changes background according to battery life remaining?
Probably we can also 'remove' the battery indicator at the top taskbar (freeing up space for a cleaner look) if such an app is possible.
* Just a suggestion. I do not have any programming knowledge hence i don't know if this is even possible.
Thank you
Would you really install it and use it?
sure its, even quite "easy" to do, just adapt the mortscript from the daylight background changer, to take the batterystatus as input instead of the time...
i remember i saw some commands in the mortscript manual whic make it possible to read out battery status...
but on the other hand, why would you want it? you already have a battery indicator right on top of all things....
having a changing background to indicate status doesnt seem logical to me...
Well Ithink it would be very handy if the background would slowly change from green to red using backgrounds in according colours...
i think it's a great idea.
of course i would use it, haha. I have to admit that i'm an app / rom junkie.
Anyway i was thinking if it would be great to remove the whole top and bottom taskbars for a totally 'windowmobileless' look. BUt to do that we need something to replace the battery/ network/ connection/ sound indicators.
The Quickstart menu shouldn't be a problem as i have high hopes for 'touchlaunch'
I actually think this is not a bad idea at all. If you look at some of the colour battery icons, this kind of makes sense. The moment your phone is activated for whatever reason, you can immediately see that status of the battery, without having to look at the (rather small) icon on the taskbar
Hence.. Hello to developers.. any takers?
Great idea, I would use it too! We could add a corresponding battery symbol on each wallpaper, like in S2U2 but smaller
Cool idea, I think also if the wallpaper could change based on the weather that would be really cool.
hi there anyone who knows where i can find this app???
DIAMOND CAM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tiEji2sTyA
nobody????
well
i figured out how to do this.. sort of.... hehehe
but well i had my own costom background on my diamond and my camera froze cuz i was messing around with the settings so it was still running in the background, and i could se theat certain parts of the background on my phone where changing, and it was still the camera and it was on all tabs because i had the background in all tabs, though it was just a few dots on the background it was still working just like that, of course i dont know what color it is, but there is a color that was on that picture that made the camera go through to the background, he just made a background of that same color and set it for all the tabs. or atleast something similar to that
Requirements
Android 2.1, HTC Sense Lock Screen (HTC Desire)
What it does
Agenda Live Wallpaper gives you an analogue clock behind your home screen and thus behind your lock screen.
Why?
Before I bought my HTC Desire I had a windows mobile phone with s2u2 (slide to unlock). This app presents an analogue clock along with some useful information like the next appointments. I really missed this clock on my android and the simplest way for me was to develop a live wallpaper. This is visible even when the device is locked. With the lock screen of the HTC Desire this now shows me the analogue clock without unlocking the device.
Can it be adopted to other devices?
Only if your device has a suitable lock screen. I do not alter the lock screen nor does the wallpaper need a rooted device. It should work on all resolution devices currently available. You can simply try it.
Future
I hope to integrate appointments in the future.
Battery Drain
Though this is a live wallpaper it should not drain your battery as much as the others do. In fact there should be virtually no difference to a static wallpaper.
Date Formats
At the moment it includes two date formats: German (EU), US. You can choose them in the settings. If you miss one, please tell me.

running nicely on moto droid, thanks...
it looks elegant against the plain black background
Nice app ,do you have in plan creating a digital version too?with weather maybe.
Best of luck ,I support you!
Interesting! I'll give it a try. Thx!
i tend to find the themes just change the top and bottom bars.is there a way to change the white background when you access the windows mobile part of the device?
I guess this is not possible then? Everyone must be content with the plain dull White windows mobile b/g?..MODS can you transfer this article over to the themes and apps please might get some hope over there
I doubt most of us delve into WinMo enough to care.
Not only that, would you be able to read the text with a darker colour or pattern?
Thanks, Possibly most users aint interested but it's really bugging me. If only i could change it because it looks so bland!
short version: try "ui tweaker" (lets you adjust windows theme related colors, look, and feel)
long version: there are some TSK files available that give the effect you desire. however most of these work well with WM6.1 and earlier. same goes for "ui tweaker", but these same approaches don't work well with WM6.5 and later. this is largely because WM6.5 has newer, different, bigger GUI control elements.
if you choose the ui tweaker approach, rp-x1 is correct because you would indeed have to play with a whole bunch of colors on a whole bunch of GUI elements before you'll be able to get the contrast right.
hey thanks man, it sounds difficult but il give it a go..have you tried it yourself?
i have used ui tweaker many times to change the selection highlight colors and what not when i was using WM6.1 ROMs on my kaiser. i even once tried exactly what you are looking for
i found the WM6.5 themes to be a much more improved bunch, so never felt the need to customize them further, though i wouldn't mind a white-on-black theme some time, like a "negative" of the GTX themes, that would be stellar!
i tried uitweaker but it doesnt give the option to change the white background!! i tried another app called settings+ that didnt also -but they are quite handy to tweak windows side of things
forgot to add..the white background remains but i managed to add some colour to tabs at the bottom and every box is highlighted i've also changed the font it makes a massive difference to me thanks
!! the white background is no more!!! haha i've managed to change it with uitweaker...thanks again

how did you do it?
Hi Folks,
I'm new to Windows Mobile. Sorry if it has already been asked. I search it but haven't find it though. I wonder is there any way to change in Back ground. I'm using Ansar WM 7.5. In option there is only light and dark. Is there any way to put a picture there or change the color to blue of orange.
you cant use pictures for background... go to settings - theme to change colors
try Pdaimatejam ROM... is much more colors for choose (100 or more... i loose count )...
in his new 7.8 I can have more background color than dark and light. Actually i have just finished sync and all again i have to flash that's why I'm asking it. And one more thing is there any way to flash ROM without deleting data.
I appreciate your contribution to WM7 threads. You are only guy who is helping here. You are all over the place. True Respect for you.
you can change it into light or dark in theme follow setting
