Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Essentially I just want to be able to have a different wallpaper on my home screen than the rest, tried this from here...

...but couldn't get it to work!
With Cookies editor, when choosing home wallpaper it also changes the rest, any ideas anyone?
Thanks

BUT I want to have different wallpaper for each tab... Using HDwall or not. No idea ?

Hello together,
I'm playing around with all these apps, themes, roms since 2 days and I already changed a lot of things which are nice, but there are still some things which are bugging me and I can't find a solution for them. it would be really nice if you could help!!
I have installed MaxManila 2.5 V3.0 and the DKBlack theme and several other little stuff.
So now the problem is:
1. that my digital clock has a transparent background, is it possible to change this back to a white or something else? just transparant doesn't look so good in my opinion.
2. The icons on my home tab for the shortcuts are the old ones, how can I change them to new ones which I've downloaded and which are already working in the main menu?
3. Maxmanila produced a crazy flame background for me which is already not correctly centered I think, so at my phone the background is already zoomed in, so its not very sharp. Also I haven't found a way to change the background because it doesn't work with the normal menu. I don't want to stick with the flame bg
4. The Maxmanila Links for Last call,, calender etc. don't make any sense in my opinion, I mean I still have the same links at the bottom, so how can I remove them or replace them by something more useful, like a birthday reminder or something like that?
I think thats it for the moment.
THX for any help!!
Hm...is MaxManila really for HTC HD2?? I mean I realized that they don't have the normal HD2 menu at the bottom? I want to keep that, but now it makes sense that they installed this 4 icons for calender under the clock.
So is Maxmanila really for HD2 or is Cookies Home tab the better choice? Is there a way to change the clock also with the cookies home tab?
THX for any responses!!
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.
Hi, can someone explain me the difference between bg4all and HDWall?
Can i do the same things with it?

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,

Rgds,
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.

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.
