how to make my own today screen - help pls! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Would anyone be able to tell me how I would go about making my own today screen from my own pics pls?

Find pic on internet or Create Pic with Photoshop or something
Size the image to 240x320 using software like photoshop
Transfer image to your Phone by way of ActiveSync
Go to Start>Programs
Click on "Pictures & Videos" icon
Navigate to where the pic is on your phone and open it to view it
Click on Menu>Set as Today Background
I think it then asks you to specify the transparency. By default its set at like 50 so your image will be grey and washed out so change the transparency. I cant remember if 0 is completely transparent or 100 is, you will have to test.
Viola! The image is now on your today screen.

hi, I can already do that but the top but the picture only fills out the majority of the screen. There is a top bar (going across where the "start" is) and a bottom bar (going from "calendar" to "contacts") that remains a different colour. I have it set to windows mobile green, so whatever pic I put in, the top and bottom bars are still green! If I change it to guava, then it goes red.
How can I have my pic fill out the entire screen and not have any top or bottom bars left there?

Hi, you can use VJToggle for reducing or masking the top and bottom bars. Also, dcinobar works well if you want to get rid of only the bottom bar...

Scrolling with wheel.

Hi there.
Is there a plugin which will delete scroll bars from today screen. I just wan't to scroll my today screen with the scroll wheel so that there are no scroll bars present.
This would a lot when using keyboard because scroll bar is so small when using phone with keyb. so it would be nice to be able to scroll the whole screen not only the bottom part of today screen.
You either need to remove some items from the today screen or make them smaller (if that's an option).

I would like to have more items on today screen but I'm annoyed by that horrible scroll bar.
My friend has a small hp ipaq smartphone and it has this kind of "no scrollbar" function.

Windows start icon cut off...

I just noticed that the Windows icon on the upper left of my screen which opens the start menu, is cut off. Only the left half is visible and it makes it more difficult to tap to open since the icon width is half the original size. Is there a way to fix this?? BTW I did a search and there was no info available on this...
try schaps advanced config,if problems still happens then try hard resetting,you might need a different rom

This was an Issue on Dutty's April 1 Hybrid ROM. Did you look in there for solutions? I don't think there was. Was a bug in the Rom.
Thanks for responding. I was finally able to figure this one out. I opened WkTask from preferences and there is a setting for horizontal offset. I just increased the value in the box and it fixed it in "real time" ie as I increased the number the open program field moved to the right, uncovering the Windows icon and giving me improved access to tapping it to open the start menu. All is well!

Remote Desktop Problem

I have remote desktop set up for my Tilt but the problem with it is that it shows not all of the screen. On the bottom right there is the drag to see what's around on the screen. but when i drag to the end i see the black border and do not see the taskbar just a part of the screen. Is there a way to fix this? thank you.

Are you setting a picture as your wall paper? if this is the case try this out:
- Go to pictures and video from start menu (if you have it placed there or your could just browse thru your phone and locate the "picture and video icon")
- once you have selected the picture you want to use as your wall paper click on the menu icon on the lower right hand side of the screen.
- it says there "Set as Today's Background"
- once you do that it would have a small box (sort of a magnifying glass) that would show what part of the picture could appear on your screen.
- underneath it would be the transparency level of the picture. I usually use 10% but this would depend how transparent you want the picture to be.
- Voila... your picture is not that transparent any more...
I found this out when i was doddling with my phone...
Hope this helped you out.

[Q] Strange Question Regarding Glitch in Notification Bar

I just had a question about my notification bar having these weird artifacts on it. I doubt it's the display since it shows on the picture I posted. Any ideas or suggestions as to what it might be?

That slightly lighter area with AT&T on it and the line under it? That's the bottom of the "window shade" - the notification pulldown. You can push the notification pulldown back up from there.

Unfortunately not quite. I was referring to those two light Grey lines on the very corner of the pull pull down bar.

They just mark the space between them where there might be more information sometimes. It is normal.

Explain this please, because they're two crooked barely visible lines. I don't see how this could be normal or even what it means. And although your response seemed educated I have no idea what your talking about so that doesn't really help.
There's nothing really visible in your picture, even when I fully exppand it. The arrow seems to be pointing to the top line. So I put on my reading glasses and my 20X magnifier (the one I use for working on microcircuits) and looked at my screen. Nothing there but the top line, an area slightly less dark than the area above the line and the bottom line. If your eyes are really that much better than mine, I can borrow a good microscope from the university and look at a pixel level, but I think what you're seeing is an artifact or dirt.

Just to make sure we are on the same page here. To me it looks like your crude arrow is pointing to the thin grey line that runs across the lower part of the screen above the bolder line. There is also one at the top that is very thin like maybe 2 or three pixels at most. These are the the top and bottom boarders for the information area of the pull down. If you get a text or an app wants to upgrade you can slide the bar down and the information about the text or the app and other information will appear between the two very tiny thin lines.
At all other times there is just a big dark void area between these lines.
Now if your image is showing something else then only you can see it because as stated by another poster we see nothing out of the ordinary for any Android phone running this version of Android in that screen image.

You may even have to as far as full brightness in a dark room. And I know it's the software because it's in the image not the lcd. I meant to circle it as well but I guess I missed that but I understand this device. I'm quite tech friendly myself so I understand how the notification bar design is. I'm not referring to the gray line that turns blue when you touch it and I'm not talking about any of the bar dividers. Nor the message and download center. I mean right in the corner there's too glitch like hash marks that actually slide up and down with it. Under the lighting I posted up there you should see it without a doubt. Also stretching the image to scale of your screen help you see it as if it was your pull down bar. Once someone sees it the hopefully we can determine what it's culprit is.

It's definitely there my wife even saw it. You may even have to as far as full brightness in a dark room. And I know it's the software because it's in the image not the lcd.

I mean right in the corner there's too glitch like hash marks that actually slide up and down with it. I even pisted a screenie while moving it up and it travels with it as if its part of the notification bar. But i also know a glitch when i see obe. Under the lighting I posted up there you should see it without a doubt. Also stretching the image to scale of your screen help you see it as if it was your pull down bar.

20X head mag + 10X mag swingup. Dark room. Full brightness. Nothing.
If could be an artifact on your LCD.
I could not see anything on my phone but when I looked at it on my pc I could see what I think he is talking about. There are actually three lines that I see running on a slant, one of the lines runs through the "AT&T" on the bottom of the screen.
I think I see it too. Its so faint I had to zoom in just to see the pixel differences. Id reccomend a facotry reset, and if the issues persistent, perhaps a ROM install, and if not, a warranty exchange.

I wish I could believe that, but why does the artifact travel with the notification bar as I pull it back up and away? And that spot/issue doesn't appear anywhere else on the screen and also it doesn't appear on the same spot screen wise as to where it ends up on the notification bar. This can't possibly make any sense to an lcd. Lol. Any suggestions? And I apologize that you can't see it. It's just a photo you should see it. It shows up on any device viewing the image.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you were able to. What I don't understand is I've never in my years of experience with these devices I've never ever seen an image issue like that that actually moves with the bar as if it's a part of it. I've tried resets to no avail. And if it was hardware you'd see it one everything of that color in that same spot but it doesn't have a designated spit other than the Corner of that notification bar. Strange and I'm at a loss of words. And Romming isn't an option, this device has too many security features to warrant a trial and error theory just to see.
