I had Posted this in our captivate forum with no success and I was hoping with a little more eyes on it that it might happen. This is what I wrote...
Okay so I was just looking at wallpapers on devianart because as much as I love my live wallpapers, sometimes I just want something easy on the eyes. So my question is how hard would it be to have a standard wallpaper on your homescreen but also be able to place a picture frame widget with a live wallpaper running inside it? Sounds pretty awesome in my head to be able to run a live wallpaper in a pic frame widget while having a regular old pic as your wallpaper.(black wall with a pic widget with the seed of life running inside) Anyways didnt know if this was possible for a dev to make adjustments to that widget for this to be allowed. Thanks for looking

I'm running Fresh 2.1.2 with Live Wallpapers installed. I unlock my phone, and when the Weather Wallpaper runs, it force closes the Live Wallpaper and replaces it with the default one.
What I'm looking for is either a replacement clock that looks exactly like the original HTC one without the Weather Wallpaper, or some way to disable Weather Wallpaper so it doesn't FC the Live Wallpapers. (I've looked in the weather app itself, and I don't have the option to uncheck it. It just isn't there.)
Feel free to get technical with it. Just direct me, and I'll do it. I just don't know where to look to disable Weather Wallpaper, if there is a way.
Thanks in advance for any help.

im not sure what u mean about weather "wallpaper"..
also, Fresh 2.1.2 hasn't been supported for a long time now, so trying to find answers for it would be quite difficult... have u thought about updating your ROM to something newer??
lastly, not trying to be rude, just organized, but this should be in the Q&A section.. your more likely to get ur answers there sense people go in there specifically to ask and answer questions.. this is the themes and apps section, for posting new themes and apps.. most people look right over questions here, cause this isn't the section for it..
Weather Wallpaper is the weather animation that shows the current weather when you unlock the phone.
Crap... Is there any way of putting this post over to the Q&A section?

oh ok.. i wouldn't really consider that wallpaper.. wallpaper is normal referred to as your background image.. that would just be your weather app..
you could not use it and use something like beautiful widgets.. well worth it over the sense app.. im not running sense, but i also believe theres a way to disable it, something about weather animations need to be unticked... not quite sure..
but check out beautiful widgets or weather & toggle widget (both are paid apps, but well worth it)
Remove the clock/weather widget from your homescreen and then readd it. It will give you the option to disable fullscreen animations.
omfg... THANK YOU!!! I've been trying to get that figured out since I put Fresh on here. ty ty ty

Snowfall Full Live Wallpaper
Reacts to time of day with different background views, you can control the snow and the lights on the trees.
Works well in landscape. Very realistic.
I have been using Light Grid Pro the most. Good, frequent updates.
Does anyone notice fairly noticeable lag when you use Live Wallpaper? Is it just standard drag on the CPU?
I get zero lag and I'm on a stock UK ROM.
the only time I face lag when using live walls is when I open up the apps drawer !! it looks laggy !!
anyone know of a similar one to the grass wallpaper that changes though out the day, a moon orbit one would be nice in the cartoony style
Beautiful Widgets

Beautiful Widgets in the Market has a great wallpaper that shows weather, and changes throughout the day. It also lets you select a custom background with the paid version.
So, I'm not very happy with the wallpaper options in this phone. I understand that, it's more of HTC Sense setting, but it doesn't let me choose home or lock screen. Plus, when I choose a picture from my gallery to use as a wallpaper, the weird crop square shows up and doesn't let me use the whole picture. What's up with that? Am I missing something? What do other people think?
The wall paper is ok but, I went to the market and downloaded city at night wallpaper and its a lot better for my tastes.

You should use 960x800 sized wallpapers. You can't select the whole picture because your iPhone wallpapers or whatever are the wrong aspect. There are some good downloadable wallpapers in the HTC Hub and there are a million wallpaper apps in the market.
Your wallpaper is scrolling as you swipe left and right to different screens, that's why it's square. I just use 1920X1080 wallpapers and they look fine.
So I have the Xoom and was wondering what clock widgets you guys are using? I tried beautiful widgets and fancy widget pro, They both look like hell. The hero clock in black from factory widget looks okay but I am wanting something better. Also any ideas for some good live wallpapers? I have the Auroras and Bluesea. I have light grid pro. Also something better would be good. I can buy as well from market, just wanting to maximize it you know. Also many of my movies are .avi any good players for these as realplayer beta normally do this but not on xoom any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

You can use moboplayer or rockplayer for the videos. As for the clocks and lwp's you will have to pick for yourself what you like. Try reading through the "post your homescreen" thread. Most of the time they list what they use or answer it a few post later. Hey.....its a start.

For live wallpapers, I like jumpgate, any matrix "live wp, and a while back I remember seeing a tech article about a live wp that is a mini 3d globe and was really cool. (Sorry I don't have a name or a link for that one) for clock Widgets, have you tried usng custom skins on beautiful Widgets? You can change the look dramatically with the skins.

I find I like the Aurora LWP. Also I am using the Asus weather widget. As far as every clock I find other than stock clock widget it they are all sized incorrectly. I wish someone could port the clock from Touch Wiz Ux between that and asus weather widget, that would be a sweet combo!

Thanks for the input thus far!
Personally, I like the retro clock and calendar widgets.

You could use TerraTime which is a 3D globe, live satellite map and clock widget. Love it.

Hi guys,
I once saw a screenshot floating around this forum where the user had set up their home screen to look like the icons were sitting on shelves in a room. There was a light bulb hanging from the ceiling, and it was pretty awesome--looked just like a room. Unfortunately, I can't find the screenshot anymore, so I was wondering if you guys could point out anything helpful I could use to recreate the look.
For reference, currently running CM7 with ADW.
Thanks!!!

Well if you can't find the screenshot or the thread it was in, it looks like you're on your own to re-create the wallpaper. It wasn't a theme but more or less someone with a wallpaper that fit perfectly with the grid of ADW's background. The best thing to do now would be to find a shelf picture and resize the picture until the shelves match up with the rows of the ADW launcher. It's pretty much a trial and error type deal.
id start off by making a wallpaper of just a grid. then applying it to ur phones background and take a screenie of that. use it as your point of reference when creating the shelf background.
There are some psd's I saw floating around with shelves built in them, but unfortunately I don't have the link. You could Google Just reveal android and you might find something there

If you search Google images, there are tons of wallpapers under android shelf wallpaper. No need to create your own on this one. You might try these two links, they looked interesting to me...
