Dragonfly over pointui community found a way to make the background better.

1. Find you image u like
2. Resize it to 400x400 if not at that size already.
3. Set the dpi to 96 dpi.
4. Save it as PNG format, and upload to device, voila beautiful background.

Note: It is best to use Photoshop to do this for maximum quality.

The DPI setting is actually named "Resolution" in photoshop.

I tried it myself and worked great.

The Sprint Diamond only has 91.68MB and it uses much of it for its built in programs. If I recall correctly, I only had about 40MB free out of the box.

I'm back to the standard Today screen. It just gives me access to more information and more functions with fewer touches. I've got the date, time, upcoming calendar, full 5-day weather forecast with 1-touch access to details, number of unread sms/mms/vms/email all with 1-touch access directly to those, and 6 one-touch speed dial/speed sms.

I like the standard Today screen. It's the app switching, overall sluggishness, crappy management, and total lack of integration that aggravate me about WM.

agreed. even though point ui is nicer, until we can hack our way into the applets, it just doesnt display enough info

Well, PointUI does provide a pretty complete scripting guide, so pumping out applets shouldn't be too difficult for those so inclined.

So maybe PointUI is a good starting point. I certainly love its fluidity.

Is there a battery drain issue with PointUI? any links to where I can read more about that?

you can read a full review of the old version from www.wmexperts.com, the new version is still in beta stages and has no stable review as things will be changed
