Take a look at this http://wmpoweruser.com/make-your-wp7-lock-screen-transparent-to-show-homescreen/ Neat!
that slick. let the lists of lock screen backgrounds begin!
Hi guys, glad you liked it I might mess around with more wallpapers to see if I can come with with anything else interesting. If there are enough going around, I'll create a new section on my blog with a list of wallpapers.

Can't get it to work on my Trophy... did the email, save, use it as wallpaper thing and its black, no transparency.
Thanks,
Hi Avandor,
I don't have access to a Trophy, but if anyone else tries this, could they please mention the model they have and whether or not it works. I'll update the blog post with the information. Thanks

Hi hboos,
Try sending it from another account, as Avandor did. I sent mine from my Hotmail account. When you download, don't download the entire message. Click on the PNG attachment and then wait a few moments. Once the 'cancel' button next the attachment disappears, click again. This should open it in the picture viewer with the option to set as wallpaper. I'll update the blog post to see if anyone else with an Omina has tested it.
ok working now , dif email
and ofcourse a real big thanks to the maker and finder of this trick

Hey thanks man.
i did as you said and it works
if you save the image and change it from the saved image then it doesn't work..
strange
but good work dude!
Thanks for the feedback guys! It's strange that the transparency is lost if you load the image via the normal route. Might be one of the reasons the Zune software doesn't sync PNG files.
Created a new one for fun. Takes advantage of the fact that the screen isn't loaded until the lock screen is activated.
Image I used:
Image link
if you change it just make sure you save the email so it can reload.

How are you guys taking those screen shots of your homepage etc on the dash and getting them on the comp.
Thanks!

I would advice you use SmartToolKit RC08 as it works well with the dash, can be downloaded @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/closing_applications.htm. Place this file on phone via active sync or beam via bluetooth find it via Filemanager on phone and click on and install. You will need to go into it's options to get it to load @ startup.
Hope this helps.
More software available @ http://www.neilmorgan.co.uk/btbbanywhere/software_good.htm
I've been wondering about this myself... After getting a screen capture on SmartToolkit, how do you get the bitmap to display in your post as a thumbnail? For some reason, I can only get it to be an attachment--but I want it to be visible to everyone as they scroll past my post.

hmm, I've never had a problem with this. All i do is take the screen shot, then put the xx.bmp on the desktop, upload it as an attachment and viola, it's there
if you want, i'll do it right now.
EDIT: I just realized what i did, open image in paint, save it as jpeg and upload the jpeg. it should work fine
Good Luck !
I like "My Mobiler". Free app, runs from your desktop and allows you to control your phone screen and save screenshots directly to your PC.

Are you running WM 6.1/Vista? I'm having trouble connecting it. Ok, i tried everything but it just does not connect, Ahh - Even tried connecting from the phone. Nothing happens. Just says connecting but never ends up connecting.
Can someone else try it out & tell me if it's working for them or not?
You know what, It's the damn firewall in vista but even after i turned it off, it's not working.
Oh well, nevermind
VISTA SUCKS - There you go, had to say it.

Pocket Controller Pro by SOTI is the way to go my friend
If only there a was a way to write sms's as well on the desktop, that'd be great...!
I use Smart SS
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss/
I also notice that there is now Smart SS+
http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss-2/
I like that it is a small specific app without all the other junk like Smart Tool Kit. Not that I don't like Smart Tool Kit but it has a lot of stuff in it and if all you want is a screen shot than this app will do.
Seems like SMart SS+ will allow you to take .png and .jpeg as well as .bmp
Thanks for all the links guys, I will def try these out.

Can you do this with the Samsung Focus?
If anyone can get the HTC HUB Live Title to not show the apps to the left I would use it for weather in a heartbeat. It's the only thing that has me from using it.
My transparencies and my colors:
^ Nice!
Wish this was on my Focus
i believe i read yesterday that microsoft may be open to allowing 3rd party customization such as spb shell and what not. if they do this i may get a wp7 device. the current square tiles are boring IMO.

[RELEASE] HTC Hub for everyone!
I have finally got a nook
so, I have started porting my Sony homescreen replacement to work on the nook
so far it can get the list of books and shelves (collections), but not much else.
http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/
I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it's going
please let me know if you would like to test this out (I can send you an apk to install)
All new releases will now be made on the google code page above.
it would be grat to have the apk and some screenshot
i would be interested to see a screen shot...
Awesome! Time to test it! I'm at school right now, so this is probably a terrible idea, but I might as well have something to do, right?
Edit: Have some screen shots. Ignore the 10:16 in corner of all the screen shots, I have an app that does that. (Sorry for the massive post)
Mini-Library / Homescreen
Pressing Menu on the Homescreen
Pressing "My Home Settings" here brings you to this screen
Library
Apps Page 1
Apps Page 2
It still seems to have various elements in color besides the app icons and the book covers.

if you use the apk from this thread, it uses a different method of accessing the database, and doesn't need permissions changed on the database file.

Now to get an SD card.

Wow, thanks for the great work. Really nice application for too many books and collections.
However, as the project was opensource, are you going to release the modified source somewhere? in a branch or tag or something?
I would like to see the screensaver feature working for last launched book, would try myself if the code was available.
the code is already available at the google code site in the first post

As you mentioned the APK here has a different way of accessing some file, and I don't see a tag or branch for the nook, I understand that the code is the one for the PRS-T1, correct me if I am wrong.
It's the same code. I am making a single apk that will run on a Sony and a nook (and other devices in future)
First general release (0.1.0.00) which runs on both the Nook and Sony is now available on my google code page.

THANKS, great work! Watching for code check-in
I can't check in the code until I get home tonight, sorry.
Currently I am building and shortly will be done with my Facebook Metro App for Windows 8 and the idea is to have 2 UI's.
1). Full Screen w/Most Features.
2). Half-Sized w/Basic features so you can use your favorite App's while still accessing your Facebook features, feed and etc.
Question is, what would YOU want added to either UI?
Well u should post some pictures of the program so we can see what it has and hasnt so we can give you opinions When its really upload it and i will test it for sure
After or on Tuesday, I can share the design as I am scheduled with a MS Engineer to help my App have the final touches and tested as well and hopefully first Facebook App in the Store.
Also thanks for responding.

Please implement off line messages because the Messaging app won't let you send them

Well FBMetro is really just the project name, Facebook already has an App registered as Facebook Metro.
The half-sized mode is in fact the snapped mode... I have included old-SS of which the actual App does not represent anymore as of my meeting with my Microsoft sponsor who wouldn't permit me to go any further with the design, even though I was nowhere near done lol.
Note: Job Discovery is my other App for Win8 and is actually currently a free WP7 App. In the photo you can see that my Facebook App can be used by other Developers to post information from their App using my pre-established Auth to the end-users Facebook Account. Yes, they can actually implement my App to be used by theirs.
nice, where can I get it?
It's coming, very soon!
and here is my idea....
as you may know in our country (iran) we can't access FACE.BOOK...we have to use v.p.n and other pro.xy apps...
it'll be gr8 if you add setting to your app so that we can add pro.xy and these kind of things...(especially pro.xy...)
thanks...

and of course sorry for my bed english
Cool App!!
I am actually working with someone from Microsoft to get the App Certified, I had to really redo A LOT of the UI as they have made the standards really rough.
Right when it's ready, I will immediately provide the link.
Thanks for your interest!
