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 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
When in Landscape mode most tabs and menus are not showing the words the tab is there but not the words. the rest of screen is fine. when i close phone and go to portrat the words are there? I tried to change theme no help. I am running the dutty rom.... any help would be nice i searched and didnt find anything

I'm HTC Touch diamond holder and i have one problem. When i swipe left across the screen to move to the next tab, and swipe right across the screen to move to the previous tab the movement is not 3D.The program that i was install was only Skype and IGO8.I see the problem after installation.I have make hard reset of the device but the problem exist.Is there some hidden settings or something to do to come back the 3D effect(like rotation) when i browse trough tabs.Now the tabs(HOME to example and PEOPLE)just appear off and on without this 3D effect.Please Help me.
Could you post a screenshot? I don't understand exactly what you mean. Someone else does probably..
Look at the presentation of touchflo in official site.
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchdiamond/touchflo-3d.html
When you change the item from menu (e.g. Home screen to People screen), the change is 3D (home screen disappear with movement to the left and appear people screen from right....like circulating motion).I do not know how to explain how 3D menu works, but this is shown on the link that i post.In my case Home screen just disapear ....not to left.
Sory for my english.
The slide show for separate items in touchflo menu is 3D(not for me). I put one wallpaper and that was my mistake.But after hard reset the problem remains. My ROM version is 1.93.4****
"It's becouse of the TF3D version.
Try this one, it will be a little slower but you will have the 3d thing "
I have the old TF3D version, but the opload won't work...
But thats what you need!!
Tank you very much. I thing the problem was from me with the software or wallpaper i use it.
It might be your ROM version as well.....
because in the 1.93 ROM, they removed the lag between the tabs and so the 3D effect.....the solution listed above should help you and take away your problem, but than it's a little bit laggy....
if you can live with that..allright
good luck
Just a simple question if anyone is willing to help
How do I keep my phone on landscape all the time?
I have tried going to "settings -> align screen -> landscape" but everytime i close my keyboard goes back to portrait mode . Some say it's due to "clear type" i turned that off and still keeps going back to portrait [I do lot of texting]
So if anyone has any ideas and would like to pass on plz 'n thanks
If you rotate the screen in closed-keyboard(portrait) to landscape,it keeps all the time in LS mode all the time after(keyboard in/out doesn't matter).. You can do it using mortscript,SPB PocketPlus or in a different way.
I have got a opera mobile 9.7 beta and when you rotate screen on landscape with this software and press home button, your screen will be still on landscape
// It is some BUG of opera, but you can use it

I tried it does not work on mine lol but thanks
And also i found program called GSen ot rotates your touch pro !
If you have sk tools (probably even the free version), use the shortcut manager to create a landscape mode shortcut, then copy it into \windows\startup. You should be good to go.

In changeScreen you have the choise which orientation you want to use by default. And you can make exceptions. For example, I hate it when bubble breaker starts a new game when I tilt my phone to far, so I've set it up in a way it only uses portrait.

hehe im trying to do the exact opposite
I want tf3d to be in portrait all the time, regardless of keyboard in or out.
If i figure out how, ill let you know because it should be easy then to convert to landscape only.

Nope sorry
I had another thread going and their were a few suggestons but it didnt make any difference.
why not just use screenchanger 2.8 and set default only 2 the landscape of your choice (dont know if ur right or left handed)???
if u chose "enable" and "run on startup" wouldnt that fix everything w/o out using some stupid glich?
all the programs that i have used like gsen etc, dont override the keyboard slide. It seems to have some hardwired switch which overrides all of those programs and forces landscape, and then back to portrait when you slide it back in.
VS.The HTC home plugin, I feel like M2D is some sort of sick joke that has been "forced" on to us. Please for the love of god take M2D out to pasture and choke it to death. If not for our sake, than its sake. Thank you.
Good job we all have opinions and can choose what we want to use as our Homescreen
You can probably tell by my sig what Homescreen i use
lol
Yes, I understand, I reverted back to HTC plugin 2.x. My biggest complaint is lack of landscape mode because I use landscape mode ALOT due to my slide out keyboard and my hate for using the stylus.
when i slide my phone, it also goes from landscape to portrait.
I resigned my internet explorer button with a script that makes tytnII to landscape. Than no problem...
My rom is from Sakajati. Google and you find.
I'm no fan of M2D either. HTC Home has a lot of info right there and handy.
My screen sometimes pick up taps in the wrong area and M2D thinks I'm hitting a tab and takes me to a whole different field.... very frustrating!
