I think it's part of the HTC theme. I got around it by doing the following:
1. Download and run ThemeGenCE.
2. Connect TC to the PC.
3. Import HTC theme to ThemeGenCE.
4. Select the background you want.
5. Save as a new theme.
6. Re-import back to TC and select it.

I think it's just best practice to create new theme so as not to overwrite the original... you may want it later.

Just set the background picture that you want to have in the right menu of the normative Windows Mobile Picture & Video Viewer (in German-Rom it is called "Bilder & Videos" = "Pictures & Videos".. its NOT the Camera Album).
You can define the grey-layer form 0% to 100% (0% = no grey Layer).

the gray is just the transparency that is applied to the backgound.
My favorite way around this is to navigate to the pic with pictures&video and there select set as background. You'll get a menu allowing you to set the transparency level.

Why are my backgrounds like 60% white faded?

I cant figure this out no where.... Why cant i have my photo 100% color without the white over it? It works fine with the default wallpaper but when i change it, it has the white over it

open the picture using file explorer and open it... then go to menu and select "add as today background" or w/e it says... then it will allow you to choose your opacity/transparency. =P

It doesnt give me that option? I have Touchflo turned off if that does anything?

Also is there away to get rid of the picture when i hit Start?
When ever i hit start the picture is behind the list...

Anyone? this is really annoying and i cant figure out whats going wrong

ROMeOS uses File Explorer extended, which I noticed doesn't give that option of opacity when you choose to use an image as wallpaper.

So is there away around this? Regedit possibly?

Anyone?
.

I'd also like an answer to this, I'm using the latest RomeOS.

There may be other solutions too but here is one of them:
Open your picture from "Programs>Pictures & Videos" - while the picture is opened at "Programs>Pictures & Videos" click "Menu" and select "Set as Today Background". Here you have the option to set Transparency Level (Set it to 0 if to see it clear) and click "Ok". You should get unshaded clear picture.
Surprisingly, I could not get the "Transparency Level" setting when I try to set background while browsing the picture from file explorer.
Hope this helps....

Thanks pksher, confirmed working with latest build of RomeOS. (Start > Programs > Multimedia > Pictures & Videos is the path, at least for RomeOS, though)

The OP had forgotten the face of his father. ;-)
Anyway - the useful thing I'll add is that this method works even without using TouchFlo3D. I gave up on it a while ago - and am using my own background image. I also found out that if you use an image 1024x768 or larger - the image will fit nicely in landscape as well. If you use a 640x480 image, when you go to landscape mode - the left part of the image will be added to the right to make up the difference.

Thanks mate - that was what I tried first but didn't work for me. I select the pic, but nothing changes after pressing ok. When I go back to settings -> today, there's no pic selected.
Something wrong with cooked rom (pcarvalho eXtreme) I'm using?
EDIT: I figured out that you cannot use a pic from the SD card - only from device. DOH!

thank u useful

You can do it off your card with the stock microsoft picture viewer.

How do I disable the weather animations on screen

The ones all over the screen, I dont mind the little symbol when the animation is over, but when you have the rain or frost, I find it begins to clash with the wallpaper
This is probably really simple and easily googleable (<-- good new word ) but the difference with me too other people who say, just use an animation background, is that my wallpaper I have is installed that I made customly
using HDWall and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601369 so I cant just set it as a wallpaper, it must be installed
any ideas?

just select animated wallpaper in the settings, and chose one which is not animated.

I already have them installed, but it doesnt matter now, I got it sorted

A little way to disable the animation per registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > HTC > Manila > search for "Home.WallpaperMode"
Set DWORD Data to "2". Make a softreset. Now, the animation is off

[Q] TP2 WM6.5 Today Screen Help

I have a Sprint TP2 with the SPrint WM6.5 ROM.
I am using the "Windows Default" Today Screen Items because HTC Sense is so slow and makes my phone screw up all the time now.
I like it, but I would like to modify which items are on the list. How can I do that?
I can change the items on the list, but once u select the Windows Default, you cannot select anything else. I like the default, but just want to add/remove some stuff.
Thanks in Advance!

Any ideas?

there should be a setting for start menu that allows you to change which programs appear in the pull down menu. i've been using the sense menus lately so i forget how to go back to tell you exactly where to find it but i know its somewhere. if i stumble upon it i'll let you know.

In stock rom there isnt that many options to check/choose from cuz its WM 6.5
To check what is available go to Settings -> Today -> items (tab)
(could be different in Sprint version)
Hope this helps
EDIT:
I hope we were on same page.. or not.. if you want to edit quick links then all you have to do is access pull down menu and on bottom right corner select delete then select all apps to remove them.. after you hit done then plus + sign should show up.. click on it and select app that you want in that place

If I go to the settings for Today, I can choose multiple items, but it looks bad. If I choose Windows Default on the menu, I cannot choose any other items. So I am looking for a way to customize whats in that Windows Default setting. I thought it would be a registry entry or something, but cannot find it.

as far as i know you wont be able to add any stuff same way as you were able to do it in WM 6.0.. Do some research on Spb shell. you may like that or check out Iphone Today Theme on xda-devs.

I have been looking but haven't found anything yet.
I just want to add some items that fit into the Windows Default Today screen item. They already have those slider buttons and I would like to add some new ones.

Try "Home Screen Customizer". I use it to add a contacts panel and a weather panel, but it can do more. You can install it through Windows Marketplace too. Oh, did I mention it's free ? Here's a direct link to the application site: http://homescreencustomizer.spaces.live.com or the link from Marketplace. Hope this is what you're looking for. Thanks.

Doesn't Show Missing Calls?
Hello,
I JUST upgraded to MR2 from verizon on my touch pro 2. My main concern is that it does not show the missed calls on the home screen anymore. I have to go to notifications to click on missed calls to see them.
When i was looking around i saw this thread:
ww.wmexperts.com/tags/touch-pro-2
(sorry i had to take the w out of www to be able to get the link above to post)
and it shows a picture of my phone, with the MR2 upgrade WITH the missed calls showing!
What am i doing wrong? How do i get my missed calls to show back up on the screen.
as a side note, it also shows calendar items, my phone also does not show calendar items. It seems to me that my first row of quick links is up too high (that is where the missing calls and calendar show up on the picture for MR2)

Hi, I just bought a stock Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I really want to find the option that I can disable the HTC sense.
I have tried to find the settings tab but actually my 'settings' is not the one I want. Following is the list of all options in this settings:
Personalize (wallpaper, etc)
Wireless Controls (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, push mail)
Sound & Display
Data Services (options for ActiveSync, social networks, e-mail, etc)
Location (set location service options)
Security (encryption, phone lock and reset)
Application (remove programs, etc)
SD card & phone storage (view available storage)
Date & Time
Locale & text
Updates & feedback
Other (miscellaneous settings - none appear to be relevant)
About phone (battery status, device info)
So by which I can disable the HTC sense?
Thanks first.

@ zhangaa
Since you are using Win 6.5 and HTC sense is still on you will have to go by this path -
Go to setting > bottom right there is "Menu" written click that > will give you an option of " All Settings " select that > then find the icon name " Today " select that > it will take you to a screen where u will have two tabs on the bottom left - " Appearance" & "Items" here select " Items " > You will have a list of itmes the third one will be will be checked -"HTC Sense" - uncheck it > then click OK on the top right.
You will now have HTC sense disabled. If you want to re-enable just check it again and click OK !
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for your reply, abhisahara
I have got it
Thanks again!
