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!

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.
I know how to do that with a single picture if I want to use it as a background. But how do I change the default system wide, so when I use softwares like todaychanger, my background won't be at 65% transparency?

I stumbled upon the trick to getting your taskbar to match your background.
"I use wisbar advance and then set the taskbarimage as same as the background .... you just need an app to resize the images for the taskbar and bottumbar"

but I have a changing wallpaper.
I wondering if anyone would be able to think of a way (maybe MortScript) To change the taskbar background hourly just like the background changes. I will donate for successful efforts.
I also share this concern for s2u2 so help is most appreciated.
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".

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.
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

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.
