There may be additional differences, but from what I have noted, BG4All gets installed on your phone, whereas HDWall is used on your desktop to create new background image cabs.
BG4all enables setting any images as your wallpaper across all tabs, but they are low-res wallpapers. HDWall requires creating a new cab for each potential background image, but they are high-res.
Both require a variety of patches and fixes to work with other modifications to Sense, like Co0kies Home Tab.
I prefer HDWall; it gives you more flexibility and control over your UI, and it also includes a program you can run on your phone to select from all the Background Image cabs that are stored in a given directory, so with a little effort on the front-end you can still easily switch between a number of background images.
I already use HDWall. I installed a hdwall-patch on my phone and the HDWall-App to change my wallpapers.
But the background is only for my sense - the startmenu or lockscreen still has another wallpaper.
With bg4all this windows will have the same wallpaper, too? But not in hires (800x480)?
I think i will stay at HDWall.

I don't think bg4all will change your Windows wallpaper either. Use the built-in "Pictures and Videos" app to set your Windows wallpaper. You can also set it from the Today settings screen, but you don't have a GUI for browsing the images - so I prefer to use Pictures and Videos.
Please, where can i find BG4all?
Thanks,

Search for "Download BG4All".
It's the second link. And no, I'm not going to do it for you.

sorry for this n00b question... I have searched all the forum and understand that I can have a HQ (i.e. not blurred) wallpaper on all manila tabs by preparing a cab with HDWall.
I have a lot of 800x480 wallpapers and would like to implement a system to automatically change the wallpaper every day (through mortscript or software like antworks auto wallpaper change); however, from what I understand, simply replacing the wallpaper would make it blurred... the question is, is there a way to have HQ Wallpapers in manila without HDWall or other methods which require a pc and a cab preparation? Preparing in advance a cab for all my wallpapers looks not too feasible to me.. (unless HDWall has some sort of "auto" feature")
Thanks in advance for your input and suggestions
I want to know this too
It'll be great if HQ-wall can automatically change
Sadly, it's how Sense was built. No way around it, otherwise they wouldn't have created HDWall.
I am decorating my HD2 with gothic style wallpaper. I applied the same wallpaper onto the lock screen and home screen, the one on lock screen display perfectly with high resolution and detail, very sharp and bright. However the same wallpaper displayed on home screen is very poor in quality, blur, flat and not in the correct scale.
Is there any specific size i need to crop the wallpaper to inorder to have it display correctly on the home screen? Thanks

480 x 800
Search for HDWall, also apply HQ Wallpaper Patch for your Manila version.

Sorry, i am not sure about what jive means but when you create a wallpaper with HDWall (it is a cab) is for all backgrounds / tabs of Sense.

Jive = work.
is that means simply cropping or creating a 800 x 480 px picture on photoshop will not display correctly when I set it as Home screen wallpaper on HD2? I change the wallpaper by going:
Menu > Home Wallpaper > Weather Wallpaper > (my wallpaper file)
Does it make a different if I had Cookies Home tab and editor installed? I am running a stock rom. Or it is a must to create the wallpaper with the HDWallS and install the HQ Wallpaper Patch for your Manila inorder to have it display correctly?
Thanks~
It doesn't matter the software you use to create a wallpaper, it just has to be 400x800 to fit the whole screen. After that you create a cab by using HDWall and it will make every tab with the same background, HDWall also makes the wallpaper from the top to the bottom (no curtains), remember, install HQWallpaperPatch (the right one for your manila version) to get high quality background in you screen.
Of course, when you have a .jpg or .png file you just copy it to My Documents/My Wallpapers (i don't know if that is the right name in English) and then from your Today screen you can go to Configuration -> Personalize -> LockScreen background and change to whatever you want.

Doesn't matter, when creating a cab with HDWall you don't need BG4All anymore, no need to uninstall.
Rgds,
thanks! I now have installed the patch and created the cab with HDWall. Home screen displayed the wallpaper perfectly now, though seems to be a bit complicate method to have it displayed correctly. Think I need to spend some time getting know HDWall to use it properly.
Is that means I will have to create the cab on a computer each time when I want to change the wallpaper and no alternative method to change it directly like other phones ususally do? Do I have to unstall the current cab before installing the new one?
thanks for your clear explaination. cheers!

No, you do not have to uninstall first, when installing another one your device will uninstall the previous one at first so no worries.
You can also try Bwizard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681341
Another possibilty is changing background wallpaper directly by going to Configuration -> Personalize -> Today Home Screen Background but this way it will only change your Today screen, when you want the same wallpaper in every tab you will have to install BG4All (search for it) and probably a couple of small applications to remove top and bottom curtains.
It's up to you, hope it all will help you.
Rgds,
As title, i know a lot of people have ask, but how to have "true" transparent taskbar and softbar without using the method of matching the wallpaper ?
i'm using different wallpaper in Manila todays and tabs, so the matching wallpaper can only work in either one. Therefore asking here is there others way of doing this?
if i use wide potraits wallpaper in todays(CHT2.0), the matching wallpaper also won't work.

WM isn't dynamically generating the images, and as far as I know, can't be made to. It's using already existing images, and so the only way to achieve a transparent effect is to match the images.
Using a plain image for the menus (like plain black) might not be the ideal solution, but might at least make the wallpaper/menus not look so out of place with each other.
o, thanks for the clarification. Which mean unless i just stick with one wallpaper, else there is no others way of making the transparent effect.
Thanks.
Hi!
I'm using CHT 2.0 an I'm now looking for the wallpaper of the programs page (pressing windows button) in Artemis-ROM V50. I would like to use the blue gradient wallpaper on all sides of the HTC Sense UI. Unfortunately I think these graphics are not part of the ArtemisGreenBlack theme because they are not in the cab file.
Can someone tell me where I can find the graphics for wallpaper, taskbar and softkeybar as see on the program page in the named theme?
With many thanks.
NM
if it can help .. there should be a CHT option to set the same background in all tabs (otherwise you could use "back ground for all" cab attached), and serarch in these sites a wallpaper of your taste
stock bacgrounds are stored in \my documents\wallpapers (if I rember the WWE folder name..)

Hola, since your using CHT and Artemis, there shouldn´t be any problem...
Besides what jjollyroger already wrote, maybe I don´t understand your question, but if you are refering to the "turqoise" WP, it´s in the ROM, Windows directory and it´s one of the called "stwater" image files (Default_stwater_480_800.gif & Default_stwater_800_480.gif)
Regarding taskbar and softkeybar, this will depend on the theme you´re using.
If you are using Artemis Greeen Black, then the files are the following:
Taskbar: "art_gb_Taskbar.png", "HTCBlack_taskbar.png"
Softkey: "art_gb_SKBackground.png", "art_gb_SKButton.png", "art_gb_SKButtonDisabled.png", "art_gb_SKButtonSelected.png" and also one "xyz_softkeybar.png" depending on the last theme used (probably "classicblue_softkeybar.png").
For both you can also check in the registry to see which files are beeing used:
1. HKCU\software\Microsoft\Today\TaskBar\TaskBarThemeImage
2. HKCU\software\Microsoft\Today\Softkeybar\SoftkeyBarThemeImage

Use HDWALL else in CHTe use the option of "skin taskbar and softbar" and then reset.!!
check this page too...
Thank you for the answer, but I guess neither one thing does not work, it is me that I could use wallpaper 1440x800,
Let use CHT 2.0
mENU -> wallpaper -> taskbar : choose image 480x800 . SR
again so that I know I am not so inexperienced
so that I could do so at 1440x800 wallpaper will not find anything, one time I read that it somehow gave the transcription of some of 32.DLL, Max Sense
never got it to work with 1440. sorry. only worked on the central pane, then was off.
Could someone create a taskbar that would be transparent icons?
I mean it, I do not want no taskbar, and so I would be superimposed wallpaper
I want it to look like the picture
