I can also confirm that it works as long you don't mind the bottom of the clock background and the temp not lining up, not too bad of a problem though. the logo doesn't work but I just made it all transparent to fix that. I am actually playing with the mode9editor to see what I can learn about moding the files to work out all of the kinks for bkgrnd4alltabs once and for all.

I can confirm braindoc's method works perfectly. It is a great workaround until we get a 100% cab that allows us to change whatever wallpaper we want without creating new cabs and uninstalling them.

His method is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...4&postcount=36

Thanks braindoc, this is wonderful!

You're welcome, but I don't take any credit. All the hard work was done by others over at xda. I just figured that there were people like me out there who need explicit step-by-step instructions to get things to work. And, because I can't seem to copy the manila files to my windows directory (don't have the proper permission?!?) this method was my only option.

Try using Total commander, usually it'll work without saying no permission.

are you talking about the verizon wireless logos on the top that you want to get rid of?

I did download and try this program, both on my PC and on my Imagio but I still got the same error message about needing permission. When you are copying the manila files to the Imagio are you doing so using an active sync connection from your PC or do you copy them to your phone (in a separate location like My Documents) and then copy/paste them into the windows directory?

Ah, i bet youre trying to copy them straight from PC to windows folder.. that wont work.. gonna have to dl to storage or some random folder anywhere as long as you remember where, then you use TCM to move them from the folder to /Windows.. shouldnt have a permission problem.

Yep, that's what I was trying to do. Thanks for the help.

Brain Docs method works great. I love it. It seems to negate some other methods of making the curtains transparent. I love it.
