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.

brilliant that's exactly what I was after thankyou! shall have a play with them this evening when I get home from work.
Got my new Desire and i have a problem, i want to set a wallpaper that i have but problem is i can only drag the box to like half of the actual wallpaper size which is 480x800 so no fun getting half of the image only.. is there a setting for this?
You need to make your wallpapers 960*800
You need to make your wallpapers 960*800
eh what ? that cant be right, then all images will look really weird and stretched out..
the wallpapers are landscape and spread across all 7 screens. 960*480 sounds about right to me, being that the old 3 screen wallpapers were 640*480.....
you can not have a portrait wallpaper. Just not how android works.
960 by 800 works for me just fine. Not streched or weird.
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!
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?
Is it possible to use wallpapers without having to crop them,for example when you look at them from gallery,there they are showed in full screen but when i want to use a specific wallpaper the image crops or i have to crop it manually. For **** sake why do you have to do that when we have such a big screen,no matter what wallpaper i download with whatever dimensions i still have to crop them,WHY?
How come you can view any picture in full screen but whey you want it for a wallpaper you have to crop it. Makes no sense whatever.

LOL! :laugh::laugh:
@ OP
Download a vertical wallpaper and then set crop size to portrait.! Then you will be able to fit the whole wallpaper!
However, you won't be able to scroll wallpaper on homescreen!
