background won't change...

jevsays · #1 (**permalink**) 03-26-2009, 10:40 PM

I tried searching but couldn't find anything...

I cannot seem to change my background. I have one set from a while back but now when i try to change it the picture remains the same. I tried to soft reset many times still with no luck...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

And does everyone like different backgrounds for each tab? I was thinking about setting that up on my TP.

Thanks in advance.

Well, the most common user error is people try to change the background using the standard windows mobile today screen change..... start/settings/today/use this pic as background OR click on pic and choose "set as today background"
BUT.. that is not going to change your touchflo background
So, if any of the above is your method you need to try this instead:
From your touchflo home screen (with the clock and sliders) slide on over the settings tab.. you will now have a list of options, one is Wallpaper.... click that and you're on your way

IF this is not your issue, well at least we've eliminated a checkpoint.

As far as backgrounds in all tabs though. It's a long and teidious process, that in my opinion, isn't worth it. You need 3 files, and you HAVE TO install the flip clock from the diamond. And even then, no one is really sure how to fix the icons on the scroll bar being off-center. Someone said you have to mess with the registry, one person said you can use a .cab. Either way, i tried it, got everything to work but the icons are off. So, I just went back to stock and installed the no curtains.cab and i'm happy with that so far.
If someone comes up with a definitive way to get it with no glitches, I'll look into trying again.

What I ended up doing was using a clear slider and a setup that removes the "second" overlapping icon... makes it yucky if you want a different slider cause you won't see the icon at all when its on the tab... but I like my sketchy icons and they match nearly everything. I like the flip clock so that wasn't an issue. There is a second way to make background for all by doing a manila edit of the background file but then you have to edit it (via computer and extract/photoshop/import process) everytime you want to change... To me the setup of the original way is not that bad, you just have to do things in order.
