In the today theme option, if I enable "use this picture", the picture being used is greyed out. How do I make the picture look as it should be?
a easyer way is to just name the file "stwater.gif" and copy it to \windows\
But it will replace your original todaybackground...
The original today background is from Expea2 Ext Vga theme. I have replaced the stwater.gif with the picture I wanted (renamed it stwater), nothing happened, restarted and saw only the start menu background changed.
Could there be another picture file specific for the Today background?
Use your program 'album' to view picture and under tools use the option to set it as a background.
Darn, my mistake, it should be tdwater.gif, st=start, td=today...
Sorry...
Used the picture and movie application to set today background. Thank you for the response.
Open 'Pictures and Videos'. In that open the picture you wish to set as the today screen background. The from 'Menu' select 'Set as Today Background...'. Once you do that in the corresponding screen you can choose to centre your picture and on the same screen you have the 'transparency level' settings. Set transparency level to 0% and you will not have the greying problem. Cheers
I got my Fuze this weekend and finally got around to tweaking it. However, i've run into a problem i can't seem to figure out. Whenever i go to Settings > Today > and select a custom background (I've disabled TF3D) the background images are always greyed out.
It is as if a 50% opacity white screen is overlayed on top of the background. All of the functional components on my today screen are fine, but the background is just greyed out. It is really annoying and i don't know how to fix it, can anyone help?
Also, i tried downloading a theme from here, but when i applied it, some of the menu items (the start menu background, for instance) stayed the same color as the previous theme. However, their today screen background displays perfectly, the moment i change it, it's greyed out again.
So really, i suppose i have 2 issues.
i had this problem already with wm5, its some sort of protection, that you really can read all what is on the main screen...only way i could solve that was using some theme editor :-/
Using a file explorer, browse to and open the image you want to set as your background.
'Menu' > 'Set as Today Background' > Change the 'Transparency Level' to 0% > 'OK'
Hope that helps....
hddn_agnda, I LOVE YOU MAN. That worked smashingly, thank you!
First of all, I'm not using TouchFlo. I changed the background once when I first got the phone about a week ago and it didn't give me any problems. But yesterday I tried to change the background and it just goes to a blue image. No matter what background I choose, where I choose it from it won't change. And neither will the theme. However, on the Start Menu the image in the background of that is the same as the ORIGINAL background image.
What is going on?
p.s. Yes I did search but did not find a comparable problem.
Also, if I try to change the background and then go the Theme settings the "Use this Image as background image" thing is blank. No matter what.
No body has any idea?
The ability to toggle things on and off from the home screen have always been important to me. This is something I feel is major that WP7 doesn't have. I am looking for the ability to have a toggle switch to turn Wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, and other similar things on and off from the home screen. In searching the closest thing I could find is this:

If anyone knows about development of toggle switches or know if they are coming in the update that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Try attached file this contain toogle for.
airplane mode
wifi settings
bluetooth
data connection
location
Are these supposed to be toggle switches for the home screen or just open then settings for each individual application? For me this is taking it from three steps to turn Wifi on and off of only two steps. Thank you for the reply, and I absolutely love your registry thread, but I don't think this is what I am looking for. Please let me know if I am wrong.

I would like to see them in metro style. Simple white icons without the 3d effect.

No problem. You can do it yourself.
1. Rename the .xap file to .zip
2. Unzip the file
3. Open the unzipped folder
4. Replace the application and background icons with the icons of your choice (same size)
5. Zip all files again
6. Rename the new .zip file to .xap
7. Deploy
Personally I use Dinik Anastasia icons because on OMNIA 7 they look much better than the metro icons...

Not Switches
Once you go to settings and set each of these application you do not need a button on the home screen to get back to each individual setting. This is a waist of space for a home screen that is supposed to be clean. The switch would just turn it on and off from the home screen. I am not looking for a shortcut (and I know what one is), I am hoping to find someone working one toggle switches for the home screen.
What it would need to be is a program that runs a live tile. When the particular tile is clicked on the home screen it would have the program switch that particular connection on or off.
The look of the tile doesn't matter unless it is a useful tile.

better than this you don't get for the moment
I figured this when I searched and searched and couldn't find anything. I am hoping to spur somebody into working one this, or finding someone that already is. I was also hoping to find out if Microsoft was thinking about this.
What I would love is a one tap shortcut to 1 page with all the toggles. So instead of me going to setting- wifi - on I could go settings -on , this would apply for bluetooth, location, brightness, etc.
I swore I saw this app posted somewhere but so far all i could find are the individual app shortcuts.
PS If you're like me and actually use voice control all the time, I actually installed the wifi and location shortcuts but didn't pin them to the home screen I simple hold down the start button and say "Open Wifi" works like a charm!
I'm also waiting for a toggle feature. In fact its the only reason I haven't purchased a WP7 device yet.
As soon as there's an easy way to toggle data on/off I'm buying the HD7.
take a look .

The OP said 3 or 4 times that he doesn't want to have that, lucmar! And if you would read the first page you would see exactly that! He wants to have a toggle to switch it on/off! Is reading a post that hard?
Personally the live toggle tiles are a waste of space. My idea is to have the toggles in the menu bar that pops up when you press the volume buttons.
So you press the volume buttons, the menu pops up, you swipe left or right (same you get rid of notifications) and it brings up another part of the menu bar with access to all the common toggles.
The main advanage of this is that you can access the toggles from anywhere as the volume bar is OS wide so you don't have to quit your app/game to access the toggles unlike if you have live tiles.
This is a great idea and would be nice as an overall experience. This would take a lot of programming, and at the rate Microsoft is coming out with updates, this would not be done for another 2 or 3 years. That is why I can asking for a very simple program that turns on and off settings and has a toggle switch when pinned to the home screen. This would only take a day or two by an experience programmer. Anyone?

Well I don't know if MS reads this forum or if anyone at xda is even working on this.
That's actually a great idea. To swipe the volume bar to get comm manager toggles. Clean and simple

Hi everyone,
this is my first app, it's just another system info widget, but you have to configure it with a txt file like conky.
It's high configurable, can display custom text, system information and agenda.
You can choose text style and how often update, so it will not drain too much battery.
you can find more info and instruction here conkylikewidget.wordpress.com (sorry, i can't put link yet)
It doesn't work, I tried with the first example and always display a rounded red button with an "X". I tried to change size, replace/remove font, but always I get this "X"
