Hi!
I'm a bit confused. All cellphone websites say that the wallpaper resolution should be 960x800. But my DHD wants to cut my wallpapers, no matter what resolution they are.
Do anyone know why that is?
BTW I'm running stock rom and everything.
When selecting a wallpaper have you tried pressing on the sides of the green square that appears? Arrows will appear and you can drag to re-size
960x800 wallpapers look great on the DHD.
Oh for the love of -.-
Thanks, that did not occur to me at all.

No problem! Sometimes it's easy to overlook the simple things!

I've tried searching but can't seem to find what I'm looking for!
Has anyone managed to crack how to get backgrounds to look OK on the new Manila when in landscape mode? the closest i've seen so far is the blue max theme, but I don't want a blue theme or an analog clock!
Does anyone know how to get landscape backgrounds/wallpaper working properly?
failing that, does anyone know which .manila files I would need to edit?
hi,
i hope maxycy will give us instructions how to manage it by ourselves!!!
i hope mun_rus will find out a good solution in order to have our own background in all tabs too.
ciao

Well, I did manage to do that somehow..
Basically, you'll need a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper..
Doing so, you'll have wallapapers that support landscape mode, but not all would work!
Have a look at mine
Nice, How did you do that
here you have the new manila background took form the new manila 3.0
can u put some screen shot
can u put some screen shot for this cab

I tried installling it over Dutty V2 with Max blue theme, and my manilla got FUBAR. It got stuck and tabs disappeared.
Guess this only replaces original v3 manilla?
edit: just took a look at the .cab. Are you sure it installs everything? Looking at the setup xml, it doesn't do anything with the "BACKGR~1.000" file..?
Right, I think people are mis-understanding here!
I am after (and this thread is about) changing the background picture ON MANILA V3 (as in Dutty Xtreme and other ROMs) Manili V3 supports landscape mode, but currently the background picture doesn't stretch or re-orientate itself to accomodate landscape images. Instead it appears to centre the image around the middle of the portrait screen, and remain locked in that position in landscape mode.
This thread is NOT about making Manila V2 (as in Stock HD) LOOK like Manili V3
Blessed HD, I've tried doing it that way, but unfortunately, given the images I use for my backgrounds, the resulting images are significantly worse quality than normal Otherwise, this method does work and does result in a full-screen-width image in landscape.

By using a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper!
As for the clock & buttom bar;
Clock: I used Max's Analog Clock for Dutty's ROM
Buttom Bars: 12aon Iphone Renaissance Icons / Text theme Icons
Transparant Buttom bar + transparant slider

Exactly !
& that's why I'm using this method until someone figures it out
Another solution here is to use pattern wallpapers, not the ones with a spacific picture in the middle.. & try to maintain its graphic quality within the 800X480 pixels..
There should be a trick to it.. but I don't know how........

Yeah, I'm curious to find out whether there's a specific Manila file for portrait and landscape or whether it's just the one file scaled/stretched for both...
If there's sparate files, then that could be used to good avantage!
Don't have the time to filter through each and every .manila file to find them though!
The way I got to understand it, is that there is 2 files for landscape and 2 for portrait.
Check my post here as well, might clear things up.

Hey, I am working on a motoblur theme for CM, and I have almost everything perfect. EXEPT the text on all of the buttons and stuff is black against a dark grey button. Can anyone help me out with getting the text on the buttons to be white so they are readable?
Also, another problem I'm having is with the backgrounds. I moved all of the small and normal backgrounds from motoblur into the launcher.apk of my theme, but they are not showing up in the list. Can anyone help out here, either?
Thanks everyone!

i have wondered about the font color as well for a while.
but for the wallpapers, make sure they are named the same as the wallpapers currently in launcher.apk
yo yo
hey man. yeah those wall papers have been pissing me off. i finished two different themes, and that launcher hindered both, thus causing me to start alllll over again. im using this 2.0 sht now, its pretty sick, theres a lot of new **** on 2.0, like a bad ass dock, with all these settings widgets, etc, my theme should be up a little later today. keep and eye out. and Freeky, pm me, lets get this collab going down!

im not 100% sure but I think that irrenhaus' advanced launcher allows you to actually add wallpapers to it .... also i know that if you build Launcher from source you can add your wallpapers in that way

Hi there,
yesterday I´ve flashed to Oxygen 2.0.3.
Then I´ve installed the live wallpaper (PhotoWal) I was using when my Desire was on original HTC Android 2.2 rom.l
But it looks like that PhotoWall has some problems under Android 2.3.3. It steadily crashes and after this the background is black. But after it has been crashed I´ve noticed that the Phone speed has increased very much. The animations are so smooth that it looks similiar to the iphones animations.
Then I thought about creating a small picture which is just black and use it as standard wallpaper (Maybe it would be as fast as without a wallpaper loaded).
Unfortunately this hasn´t worked... the speed is pretty slow if I compare it to the setting without a wallpaper.
I don´t want to load the PhotoWall wallpaper and waiting for a crash all the time, so... does anybody know if it is possible to deactive the whole wallpaper?
I know that it will look kinda naked but I really like it because it is reacting very very quickly.
Thanks in advance!
Install black wallpaper by fraga from the market

I use this file, created with MSPaint.
I have read that having black backgrounds also improves the battery life.

Yes it does improve because amoled doesn't use power for black pixels. That's what I heard anyway.

Hiya
I found some wallpapers which i would like to use along with Lite'nings Rom.
Only thing is - i only use 2 homescreens. Because of this, i dont have wallpaper scrolling enabled. When i'm trying to use the wallpapers from the link, i loose of the edges, actually i do that with every picture
Tried resize them using Photoshop, didn't help one bit. Might have used wrong resolution
Anyone have any tips on howto fix this issue?
Your link hits a brick wall. 480x800 for static/lockscreen wallpaper 960x800 for scrolling.

Sorry about link, fixed now.
Tried making the pictures 480x800 - didn't work - still got problems with side being cut of..
let's see. i hope i can explain this clearly...
i have a static wallpaper i want to use on my evo. currently using king's 2.1 kingdom rom. on most kingdom roms the wallpaper doesnt scroll behind your icons and widgets. it remains still and doesnt scroll side to side as you move from screen to screen. well i have a wallpaper i want to use BUT it makes me crop it and i can only use a small part of it.
i was hoping someone could edit this wallpaper for me (or teach me how, but i dont have photoshop or any editing software on my mac). i want to be able to use the whole thing as my wallpaper. i assume this is sorta easy for a lot of you guys, ive just never really needed to edit a wallpaper before and some direction here would be GREATLY appreciated!
the wallpaper im trying to use is attached.
resized
one is the scrollable version and the other is the one page only unscrollable version, both resized o fit the evo screen

ahhhhh YES!!! thats EXACTLY what i was trying to do! thank you!
If you go into the Android market there's an app called EVO
3D wallpapers. This one is in there and its cropped to the original size. Maybe you can try that first? If no luck maybe you can edit the pic in MS Paint and recrop the pic to 480x800 which is the EVO 4G's native rez. Good luck!
Yes Marty, I built a time machine out of a DeLorean.
can someone resize this to fit the evo 4G screen without scrolling?
