When i go to set a custom background image under my today settings, why does the image show up alot lighter than what it actually is?
That's because Windows Mobile sets the transparency of the image to high by default. Instead, try finding the image on File Explorer, viewing it then going to Menu and Set as Today Background... From here, you can manually choose the transparency level. 0% transparency means the picture's colours are fully visible.

I've got a 240x320 JPG image on my Storage Card that I want to make a background on O2 today. I know I can go to Album and pick the file and set it as a background but it doesn't appear 'full screen' as a background and has a white boarder all around it.
I tried increasing the image size to 600x800 as a test and it does the same. How can I get the image to fully fit the background?
Also, if there any way to change the text colours that appear in the menu drop-downs, etc.?
Finally, what's a good FREE way to be able to create a .TSK file?

I want to use this background with the default black HTC theme - http://localhostr.com/files/05d516/whitebg.png
When I use it in the today screen I get the following picture - http://localhostr.com/files/ea219c/grass.jpg
Any reason the picture is "white"?
Try setting it as the Today theme background from the picture browser rather than from the Today preferences. For some reason, setting a backdrop image from the Today preferences automatically sets it to be very transparent, which is what you're seeing there. A rather annoying "feature," I think.
Hi all,
I have HTC p3300
and I have installed Artemis Touch 3.01 Everything works great.
The only problem I have is when I go and try to change the Wallpaper to my jpg images that i have on my SD.
The images become 50 white like there would be a white layer on top of them with 50% opacity Is this normal? is there a setting somewhere that makes the images look normal when they become walpapers?
Please help.
Thanks.
open the file explorer, and navigate to the directory where the picture is, and hold n click on the picture for the menu and click set as background picture or whatever is correct option.
it'll show the picture and an opacity meter, set to 0
when i hold the picture it gives me the option to set it as todays background, and than when i choose it, the options dissapear without any opacity options. and than the background is set to that image.
Just use the Pictures & Videos app to select the pic.
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!
Hi.
I don't think this is an easy one, but I'll ask anyway.
When you use "Pictures & Videos" to select an image to use as your Today background, you are given the option of "Transparency Level". I just wondered if there's a way to select what colour is 'behind' the image when you do this. At the moment, it's white (or close enough), so the image gets lighter with more transparency. I would like it black, so that the image gets darker with more transparency. Realistically, you should be able to assign any colour, so you can almost colourize an image by altering its transparency.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

It is not a " white colored " background. It is a " lack of color " background, no image.
You cannot overlap two today background images.

I don't want to "overlap" two today background images. If you read the question, you'll see that I've explained the background colour is white, which it is.
Set the background image to 100% transparent and you'll see white. A background with a "lack of colour" would actually be black (see transparency, 0 value colour etc. for both windows & web development.)
Something, somewhere, defines that white is used as the background colour (it may actually be an overlay for the image, with inverse transparency, as opposed to a transparent image over a solid colour.) This may be a registry entry, but it's just as likely hard-coded into the OS. Either way, that is my question.
Thanks for trying to help.
