*Fixed/Figured it out*
The htc png images no longer show up under start, settings, today screen(even when I select all folders, or my pictures). It also doesn't work when I tap and hold on the .png files themselves, as "set as today background" is no longer an option for png files. I'm baffled, and kinda pissed. I hate when this stuff happens. I set each of the htc images as backgrounds when I first flashed to see which I liked best, so I know it's possible, but now when I tried to set a file as my background it no longer works.
Also, is there anyway to disable the automatic transparency of files. I have the perfect background, and when I set it it ends up washed out and looks crappy. Thank you in advance, I appreciate the help.

Hello me, it's me again.
Hey myself,
This will address both of your issues. Kinda stupid that you can't change the today background to a png image the way you noted above... windows(sheesh!).
In order to adjust transparency, and set png files as your background you have to go to start, programs, pictures and video's, then tap and hold on the image to "set as today background". after that you will have the option to adjust the transparency.
Take care of yourself Dustin,
Dustin
PS Here's the background I created that lead me through this problem:

Hi guys,
When I put a picture as the today's wallpaper, the picture is lighter than normal.
Is there anyway to fix it and get the real picture colors ?
Thx
yep, use eg. resco picture viewer or resize your pictures to 240x320 and 320x240, rename them to tdywater_240_320.gif and tdywater_320_240.gif and copy/ overwrite in \windows. soft reset and you are done!
ps. it is needed to have it saved as a .gif!
Or just keep it simple!
Open the picture in the default "pictures & videos", and choose "Set as Today Background". Then it will ask you how much white you wanna have.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you set the image under settings/today, thats what you will get. For some reason it uses a transparency value (nowhere to change this here).
The best and easiest solution I have found, is to open the Camera, and view the Album. Browse to the image you want, click it and keep it pressed so that the context menu comes up, select "Set as Today Background...". This will show you the image, and allow you to set the transparency level. Set it to zero, and the image in the Today Background will look exactly as it should.
Works with the Album->Set Picture as Background
Thx guys !
I was reading around through the forums and found that you need to use Manila to edit a file "4a087e41_manila" to change the background on the home screen and all the others. Well I did this and it has yet to change anything...
Any advice?
i was able to change the home wallpaper by going to the settings tap and going to wallpaper....go figure...lol
but I still want to change all the other tabs to have the same background as I am using on my home screen.
anyone?
there's a cab that will do that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=121510&d=1223945516
well the above cab worked great, put my background on all pages, but then also set my clock to 12:59, the date to Jan 1 2008 and set my network to T-Mobile....lol (im with AT&T)
I will mess around with it and see what I can do
ok so I think i got it now.

I went there and used nisse's zip files, then I used manila editor to change the image, the trick is that the image you replace in the files that you download from nisse HAVE to be the same size, exactly 256x256.
But the only problem now is that the picture has gone over my home screen, all i have is the background there, but its only for my home tab. I may try to load a different clock and see what happens.
All i need to do now is figure out how to change what the buttons lok like in landscape mode and I will be golden
Hi,
I want to get the background of the golden theme. I searched really a lot. I manage to change background for all tabs. In settings on today I tried too, but it isn't working. I get an image on the startup, but it isn't looking like the original image... pls help. I tried to edit in manila editor to change the image, but I get an error. Everything is looking good of the golden theme, except this background is driving me nuts. nobody seems to have this problem, am I really just stupid??
here you go.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2968109&postcount=168:)
use this method,. it works every time and you don't have to have 256x256, its 512x512.
Well the cab. works greate but the slider goes to left and the clock has goten white from incolor... have you got an answer to this too?
Thanks!
why i change my background image..the image color will become pale~~
can anyone fix it because i saw my friend omnia wont have this problem
Set transparency to 0% in "pictures and videos" when setting background image....
Good luck!
excuse me, where can i find the setting of it? inside which particular files?
Dont use the 'Today' settinsg to set the image as a background as that doesn't let you change the transparency - easy mistake to make!
Use File Explorer to find the image file you want to use / or the picture viewer (Pictures & Videos), then click to open the picture.
When viewing the picture in the picture viewer go to Menu->Set as Today Background.
When you click that you get a dialog that lets you set the transparency.
Hope this helps.

or instead of going to the menu for a speedy set, click and hold on the image then select set as background, set transparency to 0%
Hello! I have a quick question for anyone who is willing to help me out here..
I have already searched and found a topic on changing the default background for the sony ericsson panel 1, which states you have to replace the 10v and 10h files in the programfiles\panels\SonyEricssonPanel\images with other jpeg images.
Here's the thing: I tried and it did not work. I have backed-up my originals, took them out of that folder, and replaced them with my own jpeg files, same resolution as the originals, tried selecting another theme, tried changing panels, and tried to soft rest, and somehow, the panel still comes up with that same default background.. :-(
Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, very much appreciated!!
I'm just a newbie, but changing the background photo on panel 1 I just opened explorer, opened up my photos folder (it works on both internal and external memory, tested right now), marked the picture, chose "set as background", set opacity and voila I have horses running!
(white horses and white letters in the menus, so I changed to another theme from "settings - today" that gave black letters)
(my menus are Norwegian, so I'm guessing what they would be in English)
thanks for the reply,
I already tried that and it didn't work. The only place I see somewhat of the picture I chose was when I press the start menu. It's like a background for the start menu only and the panel background stays the same.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
google for pocketpc theme
get the tsk themes you like
put the tsk files on your ppc
cloose the theme in settings->today
using
"use this picture as the background" is not enough
colours for text and bars are defined in the themes
Ahh, thanks for the help but unfortunately no one understoon my question!!
I wanted to actually modify one of the existing panels. Panel 1 is not the normal today screen, it is the one that displays the clock and calendar and the quick function buttons.
I wanted to find out how to get that default color-laser looking background out and replace it with my own so that way i can still have the quick function icons on the bottom, but I already figured it out.
It seems you have to tap the weather information to get to the screen where you can change your background color, and that lets go of the cached background image after you've replaced the 10v and 10h files.
I downloaded an icon set (IDroid) from deviant art and the developer gave his PSD file so we could make our own. I want to make a Tumblr icon using his settings, any way I could go about going that? I use Adobe Photoshop btw.
Copy and paste the image you want to use in the clipping mask then size it down if you need to then nudge it to your preferred center.
Or you can draw one using the pen tool. And fill your paths with disired gradients and overlays etc...
save as Web or device
I did that but when I saved it aand tried to use it as an launcher icon on my phone it had a white background around the edges. How do I get that cut that off? And also save the icon as 72 x 72 to fit the icon sizes like on my phone. Thx in advance.
You saved as png right?
If so maybe you had a "background" layer still selected when you saved it. That happens to me sometimes and i don't realize it till its on my phone..pisses me off.
Anyhow try it again and let me know.
