You mean the today menu?
Settings => Background

the START menue. i was thinking about this too, maybe it is a black picture file which could be replaced? no idea how to find out.
same with the grey background appearing when you unlock your td2, maybe someone found out how to replace it?

Sorry thought you meant the Home Tab!

The default WM6.1 start menu uses the same background as the Today screen, so you could always use the default menu instead of the TF3D one. There's a registry hack for it somewhere nearby.

do you want to change to welcomehead.192.png??

i think he means when tf3d is active and you hit start you
get a screen with you're favorite programs
i like to know how to chanche this background...

does someone know how to do this now?
can't find anything

Today plugin horizontal separator line removal

Hi, does anyone have a reg hack or software that will remove the separator lines between the today screen plugins.
I have searched on here & google & have yet to find a good answer to this.
Many thanks.
it varies with the today theme,
'UI Tweaker' is freeware which will edit nearly everything colour related on your device

Hi, yes there are many tools that will allow you to change the colour of the today lines like UI Tweaker, but I want to remove the line/make the line transparent.
Many thanks.
There are many posts on this in the forum - no solution found as yet i am afraid - choose the nearest color to background is the only option or use software like wisbar advanced desktop.

How to change icons?

Hello again
Is there any way to change the icons in the programmes menu?
Some of them are low-res, and some of them are just not that nice to look at.
The Total Commander icon is a good example...
In my oppinion it looks like something from a Vic20, or maybe a C64.
So, my question is...
Is it possible to change the icons, and if so - how to do it?
Thanks in advance!
Attached: Screenshot of the icons.

Well, it's a sollution...
Eventhough it's not changing the icons of the programmes themselves, but rather changing the icons of the perticular buttons in the programmes menu.
I'll give it a go, thanks for your answer
Will post back if it works...!
Hmmm, didn't work on my phone...
Made the button I wanted to change white, and the button next to it...
Anyone else have an idea on how to solve this?

Use the animated wallpaper option, but browse to the wallpaper of your choice instead.
If that doesn't work then one of the "essential" cabs that you have installed has caused the problem. You may be able to resolve it by uninstalling the culprit, but you may need a hard reset as not all mods get uninstalled fully.

it is definetly the 20 shortcut, i have unistalled it and it worked fine.
so i guess we know what the problem is...but had to install the 20 shortcut back because it is very usefull
True, it is the shortcut-cab that causes the problem. But after selecting my new background and re-installing the shortcut-cab, the problem is back.
Have you tried using HDWall to create your wallpaper? I use it because I want the same wallpaper on all the tabs, and I also use the 20 quicklinks cab and they work together fine.

Well, I tried to manage it but it worked not perfectly. I got an other wallpaper at the background, but parts of it where missing (a black bar above the sliderbar). That's why I uninstalled it and now have to deal with the black background also, waiting for someone else finding a fix

I had the same problem with the latest version of HDWall (v0.28b), but the previous version (v0.27b) worked fine. Just make sure you go into the config screen and ensure you're making cabs for WM6.5 and Sense 2.5.
Edit:
I've just tried v0.28b again, and it works as long as you install the "High Quality Wallpaper for Home Tab & Manila Start Menu by Co0kieMonster".
It now fills the screen correctly, and is higher resolution than the previous versions. It looks great now!
Great, that's better! Only one 'problem' left, I want the bottom of the screen (with 'contact'-button and 'menu'-button @ homescreen) to be black instead of the color from the background. Is there any way I can change that?

This is a bit poor, I know, but it works.
Open Settings (or All Settings from the settings tab), and go to Today. Change the theme and click OK. Then, open the Today settings again and change the theme back (I assume you want HTC Black, from your comment). Click OK and it's done.

You can change the start menu wall paper by going to settings...today and at the bottom of the appearance page you will see a box that states "Use this picture as the background" put a check in the box and choose your pic from the list
Setting, Personalize, Lockscreenwallpaper
Yeah, but then it changes my lockscreen wallpaper aswell, no? Figured out a way by editing a .cpr file though.. Thanks for your replies!
Ah ok. Sorry, didnt think about the possibility that you might use the Original WM-Lockscreen. Never mind

well even if you use the sense lockscreen, the start wallpaper is the same as the lock wallpaper.
@OP, can you specify exactly how you did it? I would very much like to know!
HI rather than a single wallpaer scheme look at Antworks auto wall paper changer, allows you to automatically change the wallpaper at defined intervals , 30 min 1 hour etc. Also works with S2u2.

@eclyptos
You must use JWMDIconChanger_v3.1b.
With this app cann you all icon change and rename.

do you see the icon of WOW HD Settings? That's the icon which I can't change and I do not understand why!
If you can not see it in JWD then you will need hunt it in the registry & link a PNG file to it.
Have a look at this thread to help pin it down in registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6188525&postcount=1
If you have problems finding it you could export & upload parts of the registry tree for us to help.
Other option if you have installed srsWOW via cab is to edit cab/exe icons prior to install.
*JWD tip: some icons show as default JWD paint pallet & no text so you got to guess what they are ! have another good look ...
