What Mr. Nike forgot to mention was you have to go and use the Picture and Videos Viewer application to be able to set the transparency level. There is an option under MENU section to set a picture as the background.

I think I know what's happened. It looks like when the background picture was selected, the transparency level was really low/high (whichever meakes it MORE transparent!)
The way to fix this is to go to Start -> Programs -> Pictures & Videos (I.E. the WiMo program, not HTC's version)
Then navigate to the background picture you want to set as the background and open the picture (view fullscreen) then click Menu -> Set as Today Background and change the transparency level to 0% and tap OK.
Fingers crossed that should solve your problem! Annoyingly you can only change the transparancy this way, not through Settings -> Today!
Awesome I knew something was there but couldn’t
remember where......
thanks for help
I set a picture as my background but its not clear. Its like there is a milky screen in front of it. Any ideas? I changed the picture but same thing. I st it through Settings>Personal>Today>Appearance . I am not using TF3D. Its just the home screen.
thanks

Go to pictures & videos then to where you have your selected background select the background at the bottom hit menu then set as Today Background. Here you'll find a % set it to 0 and come out of all that. You should now have a clear Background
Thank you grzegorz10
It worked perfectly.
Call me odd but i don't want a background on my homescreen or lock screen. I simply want it plain black. But I see no option to simply pick no background which with every other smartphone I ever owned or messed around with resulted in a plain black background. How do I set no background? Thanks

Just find a black image and use that.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
go on google find a black background and set it as the wallpaper?
Take a picture on your phone in a dark room with your camera facing down on a desk and set it as the wallpaper?
I had thought of doing that. But I thought the idea of the no background was so that the background wasn't consuming resources. Every time I exit an app it has to load the background like android decided to turn it off while in the app. So even though the background image would be all black it's still going to have to go through that processing. I am not sure of the impact of that. I know with older devices having no background was recommended because it consumed resources. I don't know why there is a no background setting, it seems kind of stupid that it was left out.
I update to the Android One UI. Screen capture is now missing the color dropper (color picker). Also, when it saves drawings, the lines are saved VERY PIXELATED.
Any help?

for me it's still there.( color dropper )
I'm on android 10 ,April security patch and Samsung updated ,One UI 2.1
If i use Spen option to screen shot it shows under screenshot image
If it's a swipe type screen shot,
it shows under the bottom option icons ,next to the scroll icon/edit icon
Otherwise only option left is to factory reset ..to hopefully fix issue !
Good luck
I made some wallpapers from anime characters as jpeg 1080x2340 and set them as my Home Screen.
My problems is when unlocking up my phone, maybe 1 out of 20 times the wallpaper does not show only the theme wallpaper, If i lock my phone and unlock my wallpaper is instantly back.
I have tried different theme`s and wallpapers and rebooted a number to times but the problem remains.
Is anybody else have this problem.
edit: also sometimes the wallpapers even screenshots from the phone look magnified 4x when set as wallpaper and then i have to load a new theme and then load the image again to get them to show at the correct size.
Thanks
John.
edit: there is a free windows program called "Image Cropper" you can as it says crop an area out of a larger photo, The aspect ratio for RNP8 is 6 x 13 then set the save resolution to 1080x2340, use the highest quality image you can find, There is also one for android called CropImage, select custom and set to 6x13 aspect.

When you select the option to set a wallpaper from the home screen there are various icons.
Perhaps you have to de-select the double arrow in the wallpaper preview window? When it's on it expands the wallpaper or something.

Looks like with the Theme app, you can save your current theme including modification, So i have saved my theme with my wallpaper and them re-loaded it, Hopefully this might have fixed my problem but only time will tell.
EDIT: 5 day`s and my problem is still fixed
EDIT 2: My problems is back
EDIT 3: I have used the "ChaoMe Theme Editor" on the Play Store to edit a theme and add my own wallpaper, It seems to be working so far,
