Static Wallpaper

[ntrop111]

Hi All : )

Just got my first PPC... a TP2 and am trying to figure out how to keep my wallpaper from rotating when sliding out my keypad. I have been trying to find a solution for days and many hrs.

Thanks

p.s. I really like the function on this website where when u go to post a new thread it brings up similar threads first. Not to say that I don't try searching before posting : )

Welcome to the TP2 world. You are going to find that there are many many things you can do with your new device!!

Thank u both!

I have created wallpapers with were exactly 480x800 but when I slide my keypad open I see double portraits instead of it retaining the landscape view of my set wallpaper.

Tinkerbell: yeah I installed oct1.5 and am currently testing at 748mhz & tried my first custom rom.. energy... pretty nice! : )

deffenatly make the wallpaper 800x800
thats the only solution because other wise it will just tile your image like you are experiencing
what you are going to want to do is get what ever image you want as your background, make it 800x 800 and make the center portion of the image the area you want to show in your portrait view

lets say the entire image is the example above, make the area with the x the main part of your image and you should be set

I have CHT 2 final installed but can't figure out to do what ur saying. I only found wallpaper settings for HQ wallpapers... I checked the manual 2.

I don't use sense.. Do I need to?

there are some transparancy mods out there for cht
im not sure if they have one specificaly for the carrier bar background, but it never hurts to look

as far as the start button in the top left, you would have to find the image that the phone is using for the start button
if you want to get rid of it compleatly just deleat it from you \windows directory
i would however recomend just changing the image in something like photoshop or something to that extent and save it as the exact same name
i think that it will be called classicblue_bubble_flag
now dont quote me cause i use 6.5.x and im not sure if its the same
but i do however know that if you install a custom toolbar, it WILL change your start button icon on a 6.5 wm taskbar
i suggest looking for a custom toolbar if you dont already have one, that might not have the start icon
then just copy it back into your directory
it will not remove the function of that button, but it will remove the image so it will appear to not have the button at the top.

if you have no access to thees files, i recomend installing a little program called 'total comander'
its a free app you can find on variouse sites.

Just tested and it worked! thanks to u all for ur help and welcoming comments.

I must look into that three west. Im trying to find a way to avoid the way the phone autocrops... I want to see exactly what I cropped in the first place... but still thankful to have gotten rid of the multi portrait view.

Thanks guys!

Glad I found this forum : )
