Well:
- long press home screen
- select wallpapers
- far left icon select pick image
- select image from where you saved it
That doesn't work. I've run into this problem were I can't set a wallpaper. Neither going to photos or gallery and selecting it, or long pressing the home screen doesn't work. It just stays black.
I fixed it, I think, by going into the theme engine and choosing another theme, and making sure that the wallpaper box is checked. That got it working for me.

When I select to use a picture as a wallpaper rather than the one with the theme, the picture I select always appears translucent(really really light) How can I fix this?
Also on a side note, where would I go to check my current number on the TC?
Thanks

View the picture first, then menu> set as wallpaper (assuming that you are using the standard viewer.....
You should see an option to select the transparency, set to zero and OK...
Not sure what you mean by number?
If you select a JPG as wallpaper, please set transparancy to 0%.

Can someone please post the HTC wallpapers that are in the original TC Rom? I think there is a blue a tan color, and a blue with a cross pattern. I like those as the wallpaper but got a new rom and forgot to save the file.
Thanks,

I'm going to assume here, so don't get angry if I'm wrong. It sounds like you are using the "use background" feature in the system/today settings of your phone. If you open the picture you want for your background using resco photo viewer, you can then add it as a background and change the transparency of it to 0%. This will allow you to have the picture you want as a background with the true colors. I don't know if the i780 comes with a picture viewer but usually the default program on the WMD comes with one and it will do the same thing. Open it up and select use as background and change the transparency.
Just my two cents and I hope this helps.
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.
In this thread ill show you how to make that notification bar transparent.
1. take the png's ive attached to this post and place them on your SD card in the folder entitled "android themes"
take note of these file names.
2.open ninjamorph select new project
navigate through: system/framework/framework-res.apk. it will then extract all the files.
then navigate through res/drawable-hdpi.
scroll down to "status_bar_background.png" click it and change it out with the "status_bar_background.png" you placed on your SD card that has the exact same file name....then continue to replace the other 6 png's the same way.
If one of the existing png's in your framework does not match the one Ive provided (for example the existing file on your phone ends in " .9 " ) then rename it to match...not all themes are exactly the same.
3. when your done replacing all 7 png's press the blue back button in ninjamorph, select finish project, select the one that says "framework-resapk"
then just keep clicking "yes" ("yes/yes/ok/yes") then ninjamorph will tell you "ALL DONE!" and your phone will automatically reboot.
this will work fine with "launcher 2" and will most likley work with whatever default launcher that came with whatever ROM you mught be using. BUT...
...!!! when using this mod with ADW launcher, launcher pro
or any home replacement app you will need to use a live wallpaper (I use "shake em all" and then just set my own wallpaper) if you want the notification bar to stay transparent. the pulldown will allways be transparent though. (you can also use a live wallpaper called "multiple wallpapers" )

Do you have to root? Stock launchers work? Very nice work.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
it does look good.
Will this work with gummyjar 2.5?
Root is required to run ninjamorph. This will work on any ROM. Be sure to put pngs in Android Theme folder (imperative). Works best with stock launchers.
update: tried my LWP again and this time it worked. will update after a few re-boots if it changes back to black, but otherwise it worked this time.
been trying to get this to work but the best I can get is my lock screen to work, but when I unlock to any other home screen or if I go to my app drawer, just a black status bar.
I am running Apex 1.3.1, and additionally have changed out my status bar icons. so not sure if that has anything to do with it, does anyone have any thought on that?
thanks for any thoughts/responses.

ps. a lot of my .png's in framwork-res.apk are 9.png's if that matters, and to get to at least where I am (running and clear status bar in lock screen only) I have replaced those with the new ones. When I finish the project in ninja and reboot, it force closes once, I pull the battery and it reboots. Like I say, after that I reboot after the fc and it loads without an error, but does not give me a full transparent status bar.
thanks again for looking and any help.

I was able to navigate to the folder irregardless of location. Metamorph forces you to use Android Theme folder.
I was able to get this to work but as stated in op you must have a lwp for it to work. I thought this would be acceptable but can't find a lwp that doesn't suck battery, and look decent. I purchased the light grid pro and am ok with it. Shakem up wouldnt display my wallpapers right.
Is there no way to get it to work with a static wallpaper? And in the browser its white. Though it could be transparent and white behind it.
Edit: the browser notification bar is white. Where to change? Is possible?

UPDATED.....
some people brought to my attention that, on other themes, some of the png's end in " .9 " so if you run in to a png on your existing framework that does not match the one ive attched to the OP just rename it to match (usually you will just need to add/remove " .9 ")
so i updated the attached files and added a read me to both zips.
Enjoy!

I'm aware of the "grayish white" when in certain apps....to tell you the truth I havent even tried to fix it. sounds like a good thing to try out right now.
shake em all loads my wallpapers just fine.....hmmm,,,you can try "multiple wallpapers"...and see if you like that..i was thinking about making my own live wallpaper that is just blank as can be and doesnt use up memory/battery..and you bet ill post it up in here if i can ever get that accomplished.

you need to rename the png's i provided to match your " .9 " png's..
if you didnt do this im willing to bet thats why ninjamorph force closed and your having issues....try renaming them and going back through to replace.
btw i updated the attached files in the OP.
there are now 2 versions and i added more png's
if you cant remember wich ones were " .9 " then.....
go into...sdcard/android themes/backup/ and youll see a backup of your framework, you can load this backup and start over if necessary.
This will only work on stock launcher and launcher2 with static wallpaper. It seems others have had success using Zeam launcher as well.
I have launcher pro. I've tried both live wallpapers...no success.
How do I change the notifications text to white? I am using a black/glass status bar background and the text isn't readable (black on black)
Hey,
But can you back up it with out the back up of the rom?
I meant if i want to reverse it - can i reverse only what i have done and not to restore the whole ROM?
so ive attempted to do this exactly as your instructions show something like 6 times... nothing is working for me except the transparent drop down menu. also, ive noticed in my /drawable-hdpi folder, i dont have a status_bar_close_on.png to replace your image with in the first place. im running 2.3.3 and im not running a downloaded rom or anything ( i think?) im still using stock everything as far as theming goes.
help!?!??!?!
Theme for Overcome 1.6.X (CWM)
This is just the start of my theming with help and suggestions i will improve it!
The Transparent notification bar will only work with a live wallpaper! (Static wallpaper doesn't scale under the bar so remains black)
If you want a static wallpaper try "multi picture" livewall from the market
(Im using launcher pro and 180dpi)

If your still having a problem with the black text try putting the framework-res.apk in manually with root explorer!
I personally place the framework in the "overcom rom.zip" from my desktop
So maybe the cwm update is not working properly!
I dont have the text problem???
i really liked this theme on 1.4.x but the alpha level is little too low. the background distracts too much when i interact with the notification items. can it be increased a little bit? i mean make more opaque
the brightness bar is cool

I'm back again and tested your update.
First tru CWM and second tru Root explorer.
Everytime i wiped the Dalvik and still the same problem.
So i did a new rom flash currently Overcome 1.6.3.
Did the same thing over again to apply your theme.
As you can see there is still a difference between your screenshot and mine.
- i got text beneath the powerbuttons
- my display brightness shows text
- notification text is shown in black font
And i have found the reason but not the solution
If i change my "Local and text" to English language then your theme is as i should be.
If i change it back to my language (Dutch) your theme gets completely ...F-Word...
Only the notifications stay in black font even if i change the locale
So it has to be something with the locales, is there something you can do?

Did not work still the same issue.
The powerbutton and display brightness text.
But the notifications text has change into white font
well.. its not a bug but the problem im having is.. for example, when i pull down the notification bar, i can see the transparent layer which is fine but the transparency or alpha value for the transparent layer is too low for my liking. i sometimes cant distinguish between the items on notification and the items in the screen below the notification transpancy layer.
