Background image problem

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%

how can i change wallpaper in sony ericsson panel.

hey, how can i change that, can you give me some instruction, application that use to do that, or something that it helps, thanks in advance

not sure what you mean when you say sony ericsson panel but if you mean the 2 default html panels x1 comes with then no they don't use backgrounds at all just colours

lol those aren't colors, they are background files, either JPG or PNG. They are literally backgrounds with only 1 distinction to them, which is that each background is a specific color.
These backgrounds are changeable but I don't have my X1 so I can't find the folder to replace those background files.
Maybe someone can help.

It definitely works. I tried it myself. In the SE panel folder there is a subfolder "images" where the standard backgrounds are stored. They are numbered from 00 - 10 and there are two for each number (horizontal and vertical but they are always the same). What you have to do is replace the original ones with your custom images. You have to use exactly the same file name (for example 01v.jpg and 01h.jpg to replace background number 1). After doing so your desired background will be available in the SE panel menu. Unfortunately I have not found a way so far to change the description so the name of your background will still be the name of the corresponding color. But it's really easy to find out because it starts with black and the sequence of the colors corresponds with the numbers (black = 00 ...).

that's right try this
goto program files> panels> sonyericsson panel> images
00v is for black vertical
00h is for black horisontal
and so on
myself I changed my xperia background like this
I replaced 10v and 10h
but remember befor you change the image you have to unselect the color I mean when you want to change the xperia you have to select another color 1st to take effect... for me I put my wedding picture in it. also remember for the H image it must be in 800x428 pixels
and for V image it must be in 480x748 pixels
Good luck

[RESOLVED] Change Calendar Text Color?

I installed a black theme which works great on everything except for the standard WM6.5 calendar. Is there some way to change the color from dark blue? Or if not, change the background color for just the calendar to white?

In the past with WM5/6 you could change the different item color with "UI Tweaker". I don't know if this runs with WM65, use it at your own risk.

BINGO! I saw that before, but was afraid it would screw up on 6.5. Anyway, after trying to figure this out for a few hours yesterday with no luck, I took a dump of the device and gave UI Tweaker a try.
As it turns out, the color in question is "Button Text Color". Unfortunately, (and fortunately in other cases), this has some side effects in other apps (title bars in e.g. Messaging and "older" apps like TotalCommand), but I hope I can toggle some other color values to turn some light-gray backgrounds darker and make it all nice.
BTW, my work yesterday focused on HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Colors\ThemeValues, but it looks like I should have been focusing on HKLM\System\GWE\SysColor. (I installed CERegEditor yesterday and it's a lot better than doing registry things on the device itself! Except when I edit a long binary value like ThemeValues in CERegEditor it truncates the result, so I still have to edit those on the device...)

FYI, the other color to change is "Button Color". After making Button Text Color white (255 255 255) and Button Color dark grey (90 90 90), things look like the attached. (I also changed the "Selected Item Color" so it contrasted more with the black backgrounds for "legacy" pull-down lists and apps like TotalCommander.)
In all, I used UI Tweaker to make changes to different color, CeRegistryEditor to determine what offsets in the HKLM\System\GWE\SysColor registry entry were changed, then restored from my image and used TotalCommander manually to toggle the bits.
Offset 0x34 - Selected Item Color - 90 90 90 (before 09 09 55 - dark blue)
Offset 0x3C - Button Color - 5A 5A 5A (before DE DE DE - light gray)
Offset 0x49 - Button Text Color - FF FF FF (before 00 02 61 - dark blue)
Everything I have responds great to these changes to look good on a black background theme. Simple pleasures .

[Info Smartphone] Align Start-Menu and MRU Background with your Homescreen

This info is for smartphone (WM Standard) but some items may apply also for touch screen devices (WM professional).
Not many things can be personalized on a smartphone, but some can.
The home-screen:
each of these has XML code to define its layout, the utilized plugins, the color scheme and the home-screen background. Many have defined sophisticated home-screens or loaded them from the web.
Sadly when leaving the home-screen, only the color scheme stays, nothing else
The color-schemes may be selected independently from the home-screen and these may also contain a background picture. Selected color schemes are overwriting the relevant settings of the home-screen. Note that only the defined parts in the selected color scheme are used to overwrite previous definitions in the home-screen - so they are complementary in that regard. If a background picture is defined in the color scheme, it takes precedence over the one defined in the home-screen.
An own background picture can be forced and overwrites all above methods.
Selection of a background picture via the settings panel is only possible from the \Application Data\Home directory (where all home-screens are) while defined home-screens or color schemes can reference pictures from any location on the device (usually \windows).
Via the Pictures and Videos application or via File Explorer you can also set any picture as home-screen background. You do this via the context menu and then you are presented a work-flow consisting of selecting the area to use and the transparency level to apply for that picture. Vendor specific other procedures may apply here. Finally all these should create images like: stwater_<x-res>_<y-res>.jpg in the \windows directory and a compressed adapted home-screen in the \Application Data\Home directory.
Start Menu Background: Not often used but powerful, see here for all details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416463.aspx. In essence you have to add to the current entries:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSStart]
"BKBitmapFile"="<your picture here>"
"BKFlags"=dword:1a
"BKBitmapTransparent"=dword:00ff00ff
"BKBitmapLogPixelsY"=dword:00000083 <- your DPI here '83 = 131 for QVGA
"BKBitmapLogPixelsX"=dword:00000083 <- your DPI here '83 = 131 for QVGA
Most Recent Used Applications Background: Introduced with Sliding Panels backgrounds from WM 6.1 as there is no MRU plugin with sliding panels. Here the same logic applies as for the Startmenu, just use :MSMRULauncher instead of :MSStart
And NO - the settings panels cannot handle a background picture
So why did I tell you this? You can simply align your start menu and MRU launcher with the picture on your home-screen. No need for any offline tools or editing, just do the following:
enter the keys to the registry as given above for start menu and MRU laucher, take care to set the correct DPI. You find the right ones at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Display in the values "LogicalPixelsX" and "LogicalPixelsY"
set both the background pictures to "\windows\stwater_<x>_<y>.jpg" so that "<x,y>" matches your resolution
With file explorer or "Pictures and Videos" seek for the BG picture of your current home-screen, usually it is either in \Application Data\Home or in \windows
Set this to be your home-screen picture, choose a value of ~30% transparency in the work-flow.
Check your home-screen and the MRU + Startmenu panels. If you have already a background active you need to restart the device to pick the new ones up.
Now you will see that the selected picture is too pale for the home-screen, so on the settings-home-screen go to the background picture selection and select "standard" again to get your original picture back there.
As long as you are not assigning a new dedicated background picture to the home-screen, the previously created stwater_x_y.jpg stays in the \windows directory and will please you as the MRU and Start menu backgrounds.
Any new background related activity will only require steps 3-7, the registry stays unchanged.

Some more
The background setting in the Shell registry hierarchy works just the same as for :MSStart also for: :MSScut (Short Dials), :MSSolitaire (Solitaire), :WCEload (when installing programs) and :SIMPinBKGround (when entering the SIM PIN).
You may not want to have backgrounds for all of the above, but to get rid of the light green background in Solitaire, set the value of BKUnselected there to something else than "00FF00" which is Green only. Sequence is RGB, so make your choice. Even simpler (and best choice here): Add BKDefaultGradient = dword:1 which gives you the standard (and altered by your color scheme) gradient color on the background.
The dialog for the SIM PIN is not transparent though, so not nice to look at.
Of course the Shell\RAI has other bitmap settings (brandings, dialog backgrounds), no need to mention that here.
