III.) Step 3. I tried that method and it worked "OK" since I don't have this option in my menu tab. However I notice after selecting the image and then hitting "SET AS TODAY BACKGROUND" and doing a soft reset the picture still didnt render or set. The picture just set in the START MENU. Step 2. is the best method I found to work for me in changing the TODAY background.
But here is my overall goal: I want to change the entire look of the theme (icon buttons, background, colors and design layout) and not just the TODAY background screen. I have been digging and searching answers to this question and here's what I got so far...
A) I can change to the TITANIUM interface using Windows Default and have the background picture of my choice set and different function layout. THIS I DON'T WANT
B) I can change a theme in the "TODAY/SETTING/APPEARANCE" and it will only changes the top and bottom task and tray bars with possibly a different coloring in menus (not even the picture too). If I check the box "use this background" and select a pic. that pic will be used for the start menu background. THIS I DON'T WANT
C) I read I could use "Diamond TL3D" to change the theme at Smartphone Junkie website, but do I really need this to change my themes and couldn't I just try...hmmm....ADVANCE CONFIG or TOTAL COMMANDER??
D) Here is a list of themes I like to have or an example to what is I'm trying to accomplish.
QUESTIONS:
- What is the correct way to install a theme that is either zipped or cab?I assume cab is like any other cabs I've installed before.
- Does it matter what ROM I'm on? I currently have Energy ROM Warhawk 8/6
- Is it hard to build or create your own theme and what's the best, fastest, easiet, way to create stylist themes?

for just wallpaper the ONLY way to have it on all pages is what I already told you in my previous post, however if you want to install a theme, this is how:
1. Go to settings and disable touchflo (uncheck the box)
2. DL the theme
3. If the theme is a cab then just transfer it to your phone via activesync, if it is a .zip with just the theme files then you need to copy the whole folder to your phone
4. Run the cab, or for zip copy all the files and paste them in the windows folder on your phone, you will need to use total commander (it will ask if you want to over write the files, click yes) NOTE: THIS WILL OVERWRITE THE DEFAULT TOUCHFLO FILES SO i WOULD BACK THEM UP FIRST!
5. Soft reset
6. Enable Touchflo and you should be good to go
Also it does sometimes matter what rom you are on and I am using the same one currently and remember NRGZ saying something about some themes wont work correctly (something about the sliders I believe), but just try it out and see, it can't hurt
