I have a palm treo 800w running windows mobile 6.1 and i wanted to set a different today screen background, one that i had downloaded from the internet. When i set the background it's in tile mode instead of stretch and the picture doesnt entirely show. What do i need to do to get the picture to show up entirely. I was also wondering about when i add a theme with a wallpaper in it. The wallpaper doesnt show up so really it's just changing the color of the task bars, any ideas?

Ok,
I have an HTC FUZE. When I disable TF3D so that it is just WM 6.1, I would like to use a background that is not simply the default one for whichever theme I decide to use. Now, I know how to change the background by clicking the little box in the today settings and choosing my background. BUT here's where the problem comes in.
No matter what wallpaper or image I choose as my background on any WM theme, the image brightens itself. The brightness is the same as the brightness of the start menu when you drop it down with the stock background for that theme.
Any suggestions for how to fix this?
Use the Pictures and Videos application to set the background. You can adjust the transparency there.
Thank you so much, that's exactly what I needed!
So I'm having trouble with my today wallpaper and the TF3D background wallpaper. I'm using the first image as the jpg (480x640) as the wallpaper. It looks fine. The second and third pictures are my today screen and home touchflo screens. You should be able to tell that the wallpaper is faded now, but on my SecondToday screen the wallpaper looks fine. Is there something I can do to correct this problem? I've searched the forums and all throughout my device, but I can't find a way to correct the problem.
I'm using Energy ROM 2 with Showaco's backgroup wallpaper for all tabs. Is there a way I can bypass the setting of the wallpaper and just copy the image as another name? Where is the wallpaper stored?
If you set your wallpaper in your Today settings it automatically gives it like 40% transparency. No way I have found to change this. However, if you go to Manila settings and change it there, it should have no transparency.
If that doesn't work, try setting your manila wallpaper with this program.
Also for the actual today screen, try this program if you like it to change occassionally.
Thanks Bruce for the suggestions. The Diamond background changer didn't work either. I really don't care about the Today screen being faded, but the manila wallpaper being faded is really annoying.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
Sorry man, I don't have these issues at all.
My backgrounds all look fine.
Go to Pictures and Video (the default picture viewer), and select your picture. Then, select "Use this as home screen / background".

this is the key..no extra apps and 100% success everytime....
I found a solution. I uninstalled Showaco's All tabs background and reinstalled it and it fixed the problem. I don't know what caused it to begin with, but at least now its' fixed.
Hello,
I wonder if anyone knows a program that can change "Lock-Screen"/Start wallpaper ? It should be able to open folder of wallpapers and that user could set time - "how often to change wallpaper".
Most of Wallpaper Changers / Switchers can change only Today's Screen wallpaper.
I need to to change wallpaper of Locked screen, for example once in a hour.

As long as it's changing the standard WinMo background then it will work just fine, the lock screen just uses the standard WinMo background for it's own. That's why it's the same as the screen that's behind the start menu.

I mentioned that most of software change only Today Wallpapers, but not "Lock-Screen" / Start wallpapers. Yes, Lock-screen and Start Menu wallpapers are the same, but is there software which can change it periodically ?
Anyone? I want to know too!
there is:
"BG4allTAB" or "background for all tabs" which makes the home tab background picture background for all other tabs (at least in manila 2.1)-not lockscreen.
there`s also "Jmz Lockscreen Changer v2.0" which is background picture changer for wm6.5 lock-screen.
hope this helps...
Im using this software on my touch HD (wm6.5) but it should work on HD2 also
this is for manual changing of walls, not automatic (periodically).
Since my update to WM 6.5 offical ROM my lockscreen background also displayed in other menu's (settings and my start menu). How can I change it that the background only is displayed at my lockscreen?

You should be able to set all of them through the settings tab, personalizations.
If not the start menu picture is found in windows folder stwater.jpg and the today screen is tdwater.jpg.

I don't know what you mean, maybe my English is to crap
So in my settings menu personlizations I can change my background, I've did that before and it just works fine. I can't remember that there was an option to get them all at my backgrounds.
How can I manage it that I can have my background only at my screen lock. If the rest is black I'm fine by that At the moment I'm using LockDevice, and I don't want to go back to S2U2 where I can manage it how I like it.

LockDevice is a simple utility and only used the default today background, unlike S2U2 that can be customized.
I suggest a program called AutoWallpaper Changer. You can set it to change Today, TF3D and S2U2 at various intervals. If you use TF3D, you can uncheck it to be changed and change the today screen which would then be picked up by LockDevice.
Sorry I do not have a better solution.
No problem, thnx anyway

WM 6.5 Lockscreen THEMES and FIXES (NEW DELAY FIX for Dusk Lockscreen 28-09-09 - CAB)
Look at post #38 on page 4 in this thread.
You have to edit the "LS_Global_480x800.cpr" file to be able to have
diffenrent backrounds in Lockscreen and WM 6.5 StartMenu.
It works on Topaz, I tried it myself.
I just installed cookie 1.8.5 on my hd2, i also had hdwall on it as well so that I could make the background tranparent. The weird problem I have is that when my phone goes to lock screen and I unlock it, the top and bottom parts of my screen are skinned but the actual wallpaper is one of the default wallpapers on my phone. when i scroll to another tab and come back the wallpaper changes to what I initially wanted. Anyone know what's going on here?
I have manilla version 2.5.20124112.2
avoid using HD walls. select HQ Wallpaper option in editor!! find the picture you want, select skin bars. it will restart your device. then for home screen select the same picture so it completes the whole image over your home screen. i have used this without any issues. use sk tools to clean up your phone, it have have junk slowing it down. also beware their alot of bugs still in cht 185, overall it runs pretty stable.
i uninstalled hdwall, but i still have the same problem. it's just weird that after coming out of the lock screen it shows a different wallpaper than what i selected. and it only changes back after i move to another screen and back
A good idea would be to post over in the CHT thread....youll get lots of support there
