Is there a cab (i can't find by search) that makes my wallpapers change in a certain timespan choosing the wallpapers from a preset folder containing several wallpapers?
Like webshots does on my desktop for instance.
I have seen HDWall and i'm using CHT 1.8, but changing the wallpaper i need to go to the editor every time. So i would like to toggle the background wallpaper automatically say an new image every 30 minutes at random.
Wouldn't it be great to toggle all the wallpapers from the '300+ thread' ?
Try Wapac.
That's it. Thanks. didn't find this one. Now i'm hoping it won't crash my leo!
have a look at WaPac 1.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684557
it is compatable with CHT 1.8.X
can set the change time of your wallpapers, also compatable with S2u2
i prefer using the inbuilt random wallpaper setting in CHT 1.8.5, set it as a quicklink and press it
Hi I don't seem to able to get the inbuilt CHT 1.8.5 wallpaper function to work, could you kindly please elaborate. Thanks a lot.

I tried Chome configurator, it's a very cool software
but I can not change certain sections like "clock", "appointement"
did you try it with a htc oxygen?
i own the htc s310
thats correct, you can't edit every section.
Here is a free, open source, wallpaper changer. The screenshots explain what the program can do.
Note: If a phone call is in progress, the wallpaper is not changed (because it takes a number of seconds to change it).
Download. Simply copy it on your Windows Mobile 6 device and run it. (Works on my Polaris.)

Source code
Works great, thank you very much.
I'll try it on my Samsung Omnia If I get it right, this app will finally let me set pictures that are smaller/bigger than my sreen with resizing them to the screen size?
THANKs
.
Awesome!! does it work for wm5? .. dont say 6 only
It should work on Windows Mobile 5 (I haven't tried the latest version), but you first have to install .Net Compact Framework 2 from Microsoft: here.
Windows 6.5 Wallpaper
A good place to get wallpapers is FFFFound.com
Here is the wallpaper that I'm using
http://ffffound.com/image/1833eeacd07acf07502260ed70c5be62af6f9185
Cool...good job!
Cool works great.
It would be awesome if it had a "silent" mode without gui and the wallpaper given by parameters for scripting use.
i.e.
wallperizermob.exe -silent -changeto "/Wallpapers/mywalpaper.jpg"
I know it´s open source but I´m not able to code/compile this feature
Version 1.4.4 works on Windows Mobile 6.5. (Or any other OS where the system's wallpaper files were marked as read-only.)
See the first post.

That is nice, and I'm loving your app! It was quite slow at changing wallpaper at first, but I unchecked all fades/normalizes/sosoes and now it does change pretty fast. Any chance you could add:
a "random picture" setting (not to have it change in alphatbetical order, that is);
shorter change intervals (like 15 mins and 5 mins);
"Load at phone startup" option (I know I can place a shortcut in the windows/startup folder, but I think this is way cooler and can easily be undone!);
And maybe even cab the exe up and get a custom icon?
So far it's the best automatic wallpaper changer for 6.5 Titanium interface!
EDIT: as you can see from my screenshots, looks like we have a couple of glitches... in today screen, bottombar gets funky (looks like it replicates upper taskbar, don't think it should...) and in start menu background remains the one it was there at boot (it changes only after a soft-reset). Think you can sort that out?

I didn't add those settings because the user would have to start the phone too often to see the wallpaper changing. I guess some people might do that just to see a new picture. Also note that this would consume more battery. I'll add these too.

The programming framework doesn't have a way to do that. It could be done but I don't know how much work that would involve... and the development of the program is frozen.

I didn't make a cab because I like my programs on the SD card, being able to run without being installed, so that no matter how many times I hard-reset the device, I will still have the programs ready to run (I don't have to install any program ever again).

The wallpaper pictures are shorter on purpose (and so the OS tiles them vertically). Normally, the today bars are opaque and stretching pictures on the entire screen area would cover a significant part of the pictures; this doesn't matter on a desktop computer, but a PDA's screen is too small (relative to the bars). For now this will remain unchanged.

I did that on purpose (but it should not display any kind of picture, or the skin's default picture, as it happens in WM 6.1). On WM 6.1, the today menu doesn't cover the entire screen and when it's opened, if it were to display the same picture as the screen, it would look as if the menu doesn't end anywhere. That's a weird feeling. We'll see how WM 7 will display it's today menu.
Version 1.4.5 is up.
In the "Various" tab there is a check-box to use a random picture.
The background picture of the start menu is changed on my WM 6.1, but only if TouchFlo is not running (I don't know why TouchFlo is not using it).
I have a problem.. not with our program, but with one that we e been trying to fix with roryB on a different thread:
the idea is that the wallpaper would change baed onthe regitry of htc home or manila weather panel and use e riginal weather graphics. there are 40 files in all and they are png's located in windows. we have been able to get mortscrip to change the reg but not the wallpaper.
It has do do the folowing:
1. watch the regitry for changes to the weather update
(the registry updates when you go to the weather panel and it auto updates)
2. based on the updated registry change the wallpaper to HH_WEATHER_##.png
3. refresh the wallpaper on the today screen.
it would be fine if the program copied the image and saved it n a different format such as jpg or gif; howver due to the large filecount t can not have the all 40 weather graphics in a separate folder or have duplicates. that would cost too much space.
RoryB is uing manila 1.5 (update 23) I am uing the mega manila which requres the media package to be able to set the today walpaper... however can be set via the file explorer or any other program for that matter. it does not allow to use the walpaper from the tsk.
my question is: what exactly does your program do tochange the wallpaper?
does it copy the file and rename it?
what actually sets the walpaper and refreshes it?
how can we replicate thi process and make it work?
If you could please let me know via pm or email? please.
Thank you so much, very appreciated!

You can look at the source code, in file "HaraWork \ SourceCode_VS \ Wallperizer \ Wallperizer \ MainForm.cs", the "void SetNativeWallpaper" method.
There are lots of steps and they have to be followed exactly, or else either Windows Today or Manila do not show the wallpaper. Just as an example, Manila refuses to show the wallpaper if the "HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Today \ Wall" registry key is not set with whatever text.
By the way, I don't think PNGs are supported by the OS. You must copy the wallpaper in the "Windows" directory as BMP or JPEG (GIF works too). Note that the file name is specific, you can't use anything you want; "tdywater_[screen width]_[screen height]" is the name. The file name is created in the "string GetWallpaperFileName" method.
(Be sure to remove the read-only attribute of the "tdywater" / "stwater" files before you try to overwrite them.)

Make sure you download the latest version (1.4.5).
Click on the "Wallpaper information" button and see "Loaded pictures". If it says "0" then the program failed to either load the pictures or failed to set any of them as wallpaper (if this happens, they are cleared from the internal queue).
(You could manually set a wallpaper in order to be sure it works on your PDA.)
Version 1.4.7
* Added command line parameters.
* Check the "Portrait and landscape" check-box (from the "Various" tab) in order for the wallpaper to be set for both screen formats (= portrait and landscape). Note that this requires twice the processing time every time the wallpaper is changed.
Does anyone know if there's an app that will change the wallpaper on 6.5 every few seconds like a slide show or if thats even possible?
I guess one could make a mortscript that changes the wallpaper every few minutes from a list of files, but everytime it's change the today screen would need to reload.
I was looking for the same thing. But becuase of derekwilkinson's response that wouldn't be such a great idea. Maybe possibly it can change wallpapers only on the locc screen only. That way I wouldn't have to install s2u2 that I've been using fo a very long time.
The lock screen uses the wallpaper from the today screen, and, as far as I know, cannot use a separate wallpaper.
I'd be ok with the today screen refreshing too, but I gotta wait until enough people with mortscript knowledge want it as well. All that stuff looked totally foreign to me

Hi all,
I was wondering, is it possible to change the lockscreen wallpaper & the start menu wallpaper seperately?
(Start menu wallpaper is when you press the windows icon and you see tools, multimedia, games, etc folders).
I want to have a photo as my lockscreen wallpaper but have a complete white background for my start menu wallpaper. At the moment i can only seem to have one wallpaper for both screens.
Am currently using the latest version of cookies (1.8.5) and cookie home tab editor (1.8.5.1). See my signature for Rom details.
Many thanks.
Its been asked a few times mate and as far as an answer goes at the min its no : I would like this option also

dudes, i tried to answer a nearly similar question here:

the OP in that thread hasn't responded but i guess you guys might be interested to try some of the ideas there and report back if/what works for you.
honestly, the way the forum is currently broken up is horrendous...and add to that the fact that most threads are started in the wrong sections...*sigh*
Hi,
There are some themes I love and I would like to use, but some details doesn't seem good to me, such as shortcuts. Is there any way to modify those shortcuts in order to make mine, but keep using the particular theme ? I didn't find anything about this...

Hi,
Editing a theme is easy - simply long press on the homescreen - select Advanced - Unlock Widgets. Now you can add/remove widgets and shortcuts till your hearts content. Then when you are satisfied with your theme repeat the process to lock the items into place

Semi related question, is there anywhere I can download images of the standard icons you use for smart categories? I like a lot of themes but would like to change the categories on them and to do that need the images to match the theme.
