I've tried searching but can't seem to find what I'm looking for!
Has anyone managed to crack how to get backgrounds to look OK on the new Manila when in landscape mode? the closest i've seen so far is the blue max theme, but I don't want a blue theme or an analog clock!
Does anyone know how to get landscape backgrounds/wallpaper working properly?
failing that, does anyone know which .manila files I would need to edit?
hi,
i hope maxycy will give us instructions how to manage it by ourselves!!!
i hope mun_rus will find out a good solution in order to have our own background in all tabs too.
ciao

Well, I did manage to do that somehow..
Basically, you'll need a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper..
Doing so, you'll have wallapapers that support landscape mode, but not all would work!
Have a look at mine
Nice, How did you do that
here you have the new manila background took form the new manila 3.0
can u put some screen shot
can u put some screen shot for this cab

I tried installling it over Dutty V2 with Max blue theme, and my manilla got FUBAR. It got stuck and tabs disappeared.
Guess this only replaces original v3 manilla?
edit: just took a look at the .cab. Are you sure it installs everything? Looking at the setup xml, it doesn't do anything with the "BACKGR~1.000" file..?
Right, I think people are mis-understanding here!
I am after (and this thread is about) changing the background picture ON MANILA V3 (as in Dutty Xtreme and other ROMs) Manili V3 supports landscape mode, but currently the background picture doesn't stretch or re-orientate itself to accomodate landscape images. Instead it appears to centre the image around the middle of the portrait screen, and remain locked in that position in landscape mode.
This thread is NOT about making Manila V2 (as in Stock HD) LOOK like Manili V3
Blessed HD, I've tried doing it that way, but unfortunately, given the images I use for my backgrounds, the resulting images are significantly worse quality than normal Otherwise, this method does work and does result in a full-screen-width image in landscape.

By using a 800X480 or 1330X800 pixels wallpaper!
As for the clock & buttom bar;
Clock: I used Max's Analog Clock for Dutty's ROM
Buttom Bars: 12aon Iphone Renaissance Icons / Text theme Icons
Transparant Buttom bar + transparant slider

Exactly !
& that's why I'm using this method until someone figures it out
Another solution here is to use pattern wallpapers, not the ones with a spacific picture in the middle.. & try to maintain its graphic quality within the 800X480 pixels..
There should be a trick to it.. but I don't know how........

Yeah, I'm curious to find out whether there's a specific Manila file for portrait and landscape or whether it's just the one file scaled/stretched for both...
If there's sparate files, then that could be used to good avantage!
Don't have the time to filter through each and every .manila file to find them though!
The way I got to understand it, is that there is 2 files for landscape and 2 for portrait.
Check my post here as well, might clear things up.

Does anyone know where I can find the image files used for the backgrounds in the HERO ROMS?
I have looked all over the place but can't find anything. I'm currently running one of the PURE BLACK HERO ROMS but it only has plain coloured wallpapers installed on it.
Help appreciated.
Sorry for the files I wanted within fatal1tys HERO ROM.

These?
Also: google?
Thank you I've been looking for these.
Can anyone please share how can we use these wallpapers usig full quality and resolution? Each time I try to change the wallpaper it asks me to crop the image and then it has really bad quality. Thank you.
You can resize the cropping box so it uses the whole wallpaper.
Does anyone know -where- on the -ROM- the Wallpaper Gallery is located? I'd like to pull some images from my ROM to use as a lock screen image, since you're arbitrarily not allowed to use resources from the Wallpaper Gallery on the lock screen..
I have found the animated wallpapers which are located in the Windows/Animated Wallpaper, there are currently three, _RAW_Light.png, _RAW_Brush.png and _RAW_Circle.png.
These are in some way linked by a Cache file.
I can create animated png files (apng) the easiest way is via the firefox plugin.
Save them out as a single png and place them into the folder in Windows as above, but they don't work...
Anyone had any luck ?
That is because the animation is not in the .png file. It is in the Manila files. The file you are looking at is just the background/preview of the animation. If you look at the backgrounds, some parts of the animation overlap parts of manila while others are underneath it, and such cannot be done with a simple animation. These are scripted animations.
Is there already anything like backgroud for all Tabs, just for animated wallpaper?
just wanted to subscribe and kick this up again.
Realy want to use this instead of the sometimes laggy weather animations

Im sure Ive seen somewhere on here an app that allows you change the wallpaper on all tabs. I also think it can make auto changes to these wallpapers.
I just cant seem to find it again.
Has anyone got a link to this one they can share with me....

Thanks Lumisab. I'll definitely give it a go.
I've been making a few wallpapers so I wanted something to auto-rotate them. Here's what I've created so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846092
I had a custom wallpaper up, and out of nowhere out changed itself to the stock rainbow bubble wallpaper and won't change at all now. Can someone help me with this? Thanks on advanced

If you're using ap2sd, check to make sure that you don't have the Live Wallpaper you want to use on the SDCard. Live Wallpapers, like Widgets, won't work properly unless they're installed into the phone's memory.
If you're simply trying to install a different picture and it won't take, I recommend that you restart your EVO.
Thanks for the reply, I've tried everything. Its not a live wallpaper, just a regular picture I'm trying to change and can't.
