Change homescreen help!!! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

I need some help with all this CAB file talk. I was able to install one of the background editors in order to make my own LOCK SCREEN wallpapers, but when I try to change my home screen, I can select the pics but the wallpapers never change unless its one that was already installed on the computer. How are you guys able to do this?

you have to go into the wallpaper section of the options menu and set the wallpaper directory as a folder that contains all the images you want to use (make sure you set a whole folder not just one image).
then it should randomly change through all images in that folder

Problem with wallpaper too light

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.

Home screen wallpaper

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,

General question's

I have some questions about Htc diamond 2...
How can i change the themes of my device?
Where can i find it?
Its possible to disable the internet acess?(sometimes, by mistake i turn it on and spend me money...)
If im posting in the wrong place, please tell me where can i post.
Thanks
Themes:
On WM6.1. Settings. Personal tab. Today. Select your theme, then press OK.
Disable internet:
On WM6.1, this is how I did it. Settings. Connections tab. Connections. There should be some options like My Work. You can either delete these, or just change the settings to something totally different.

Hi there...Thanks for the help.
In the internet problem i changed the settings and it seemĀ“s to work nice now...thanks...
But in the themes i change the themes where you told me but, i didin't noticed any change...i mean, it seems that the only thing that changed was the color of the text...
When changing the themes, did you want to change the Manilla theme? As in, the whole slider/weather/clock?
If so, that is slightly different. You need to install CAB files that change each bit you want. So if you want a slider that has a transperant background, then install the CAB that does that. If you want different icons on each tab in the slider, then that is harder again. You need to unpack the CAB for a slider, insert your own icons, then re-pack the CAB, then install.
If you are just wanting to change the background in the home tab of Manilla (clock, weather [if WM6.5], calender), then slide across to settings, click Wallpaper, click on No, then choose your picture.

...i want to change first screen, the slider,weather, clock...but i dont know what to install...and what is manila??Is some kind of theme??
I look for manila in the search tryng to see something but i cant find a explanation about it...it looks that everyone knows what is manila and i'm the only one that dont...
Thanks
Manila is like a program running on top of the windows. go to Settings > Personal tab > Today, under "item" tab you will see "HTC sense" checked. HTC sense is the manila.
if you don't wanna use manila, just uncheck it (HTC sense) and you will have a empty today screen. Or choose "windows default" if you wanna use "titanium" that came with winMo.
if you wanna customized the way manila display, Co0kie's Home Tab is a good option. else if you wanna totally change the appearance, go for theme like Maxsense or anything else you can find.
if you wanna change the taskbar icon, find some cab over this forum will do the work.
