I like this version more now that it is getting more stable. But, has anyone found a way to get the pics to rotate, when you rotate the phone? The selection bar moves when rotated.
thanks for any help.

I have a question about choosing your own backgrounds for the Today screen. I searched the board, but couldn't find a suitable answer. Hopefully someone will help.
The phone is a T-Mobile Wing (WM6) for reference.
In the "Today" settings, you can check the little box for "Use this picture as the background". No matter what built-in theme I use, no matter what picture I choose, the image displayed on the home screen is washed out. The default images associated with a particular theme are bright and vibrant. But any other picture chosen looks dull and ugly.
What is the reason for this? Any way to correct this behavior?
Thanks,
TimmyZ
Apparently, this is normal behavior. to get around it,go to Programs and open Pictures and Videos. Now navigate to the picture that you want to use as your background. Click and hold on the thumbnail with your stylus until the menu pops up, and then select Set as Today Background. The next screen will let you set the transparency level of the image.
you may have to mess around with the values a little to get what you want.
Good Luck!
Many thanks!
I never would have guess that was the answer.
I had the same question too, I will add this to the FAQ
I'm not sure where I saw that, originally. I'd like to take credit, but I am sure I saw it either here or over at Howard Forums.
It's not exactly intuitive, though, is it?
If only there was a way to use different pictures in landscape/portrait mode... that would be kinda cool
you know i have been wondering about this too for a while. The transparency setting doesn't help me though. I wish it did. For some reason the pictures i select for the background always have a some sort of default zoom so the whole picture is not visible. I tried different sizes of the same picture but it didn't really help. Windows mobile should have a setting for the background picture for tile, stretch, and center like regular windows does. that might solve the problem i am having.
To stop the picture zooming go to nonags.com and search for a program called PIXresizer. Get the picture you want and adjust it to sixe 240*320. it will fit perfectly!
hey man thanks i was wondering how to do that. i thought there was no way to change it!
Not a Problem
has anyone come out with a fix yet to keep the screen from changing to that stupid landscape menu when you use the keyboard? I would love it if it would just stay on the regular screen. am i alone on this one?
id like it to do the same also.
I have a nicer landscape with some more features (beta though), It's not a solution but a fix maybe, check the sig, 12

Thanks, but thats not what im looking for.
I CONCUR!!!
I hate how it always goes back to the landscape menu when I try to reply to a text message... SO ANNOYING!
Someone pleeeeeeeeeeease help with this!!!
the new touchflos landscape has every tab that portrait does and its much more responsive just wait for that
and if your phone kicks you out of programs when you slide it out then try another rom
hey, i want to know if someone could help me.
I've searched a lot and tried to find the answer on my own but i think i need help. I think this is one of the stupidest things in 6.5
i use one of the blue wallpapers from the htc hero on my phone (check signature) . touchflo makes it look good in either landscape or portrait, but if i set it for my today screen background and go into the start menu it will look tiled.
I can either not change the picture and it'll be tiled if the start menu is in portrait mode.
or if i rotate the picture 90 degrees it will be tiled if the start menu's in landscape mode.
It's a small annoyance but i'm sure it bugs A LOT of people, or maybe i'm just stupid. Why doesn't windows mobile have the option for stretching or fit to screen of a wallpaper?
so if anyone knows a cab that could help me, i'd really appreciate it.
thanks in advance
This should be in the wiki or something. how many people would know this?
I found a solution for omnia
http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?t=26213
it's meant for the omnia so just switch 400 to 640 anytime you see it, and 240 to 480 so it uses the TP or fuze resolution.
Then just soft reset and it should be good.
At first i got the numbers switched up so change it and soft reset if you have to.
I just noticed it now when I opened my browser to do a search, and it won't rotate. I have auto-rotate enabled in Settings -> Display, and Handcent has an auto-rotation setting that is also enabled.
I'm also using LauncherPro, and I disabled the auto-rotation there (but that only eliminates the rotation on the home screens). Not too sure what happened, anybody have any ideas?
//edit
It actually works, but only when I rotate it clock wise - when I first got it I've been rotating it counter-clock wise, is there an option to enable both ways, or is the new Froyo 2.2 only one direction?
strange, I'm not sure the problem but in Froyo my screen rotates both ways, in Eclair it only went so the soft buttons/trackball are on the right side

Yep I remember rotating both ways with Froyo when I first flashed Cyanogen 6.0. It's weird because when I open YouTube, it rotates counter-clockwise (track ball is on right side). When I open a Browser and try to rotate it counter-clockwise, no luck. But when I rotate it clockwise, it works!
No idea if I changed a setting or not (girlfriend was playing with it) so I can't provide much details on that. I've installed a couple of widgets (SwitchPro) but I'm sure that won't effect anything.
Hi guys, Happy Easter! Currently I am typing from my D2, so I'm not able to search for a good fix due to slow wi-fi connection. That's why I'm asking any of you that already knows how to make my screen auto rotate. I am using windows 6.5 and I can't remember which rom, tough it's a very simple one. At this point my image won't auto rotate when moving the phone, so games like Rock Band won't work. Opera and other few programs auto rotate plus games that are made only on landscape. The problem is I can't find the auto rotate setting or program, only a setting that makes me choose landscape/portrait. I changed my whole menu to landscape and Rock Band still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?
Thank you

There is an auto rotate app here. I have not tested it so I can't confirm that it will work on your ROM.
You can also try the attached GSensor cab.
Another thing you can do use the Topaz keyboard control app and set rotate to one of your buttons.

Thanks. The first program is working grrreat! Though not for Calculator. I've added and removed it from the list and rebooting my mobile and Calculator doesn't rotate.

The app must support rotation and you could also set one of your buttons on double\triple\ or long press to rotate screen left or right with the kybrd cnfg....
