Going minimalist for now, until I find some widgets I like. Quite like using the app drawer for apps.

Where did you get the background from, looks fantastic.

Andi, that wallpaper website is the best, but i'm having issues making the wallpapers stand out on my phone.

I'm probably not doing it right, but connecting via USB storage, and just extracting the pictures straight into my DCIM/Camera folder (there isn't a seperate pictures folder that i can see), then when i go to the picture on my phone, and set as wallpaper, it only lets me have some of the picture? Brings up a box to choose what part of the wallpaper i want?!

is there a way to change the lock screen wallpaper on a stock desire?

I want to know this too, it says on the HTC website here, that you can but on my phone the option isn't there.

They're PC wallpapers so the res isn't the same, so you have to crop them a bit. You can make the box bigger by dragging the corners, but it'll always stay the same aspect ratio as the phone.

any wallpaper source will work try to look for what size wallpaper you will need
with the HTC Hero it has a background aspect ratio of 4:3 (1.3333). so you can use wallpaper sizes:
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1152 x 864
1600 x 1200
any other resolution and the image will be cropped the crop box will maintain the aspect ratio of the phones 'desktop' but you can make it bigger or smaller and even move it around

for the lock screen you will need an image in 320 x 480 which coincidently is the size of iphone wallpapers and there is an absolute abundance of those around although you could just use a cropped version of your main wallpaper if you prefer

you can make a wallpaper folder on your sd card and store all your wallpapers in there (it will show up on your phone) and they wont be clogging up the dcim folder

good luck with your wallpapers dude

Were you holding the handset int he "non-approved Apple way" when you took the screenshots?

Nick1881 · 5 Jul 2010 at 16:34

Lol, no. The signal is bad in my flat anyway. I have seen the signal bars drop off while holding it but it never goes out of service and never drops calls.

Probably been asked a thousand times, but what widgets are those? the calender, time and weather.

Thank you :)

mrk · 6 Jul 2010 at 12:33

I posted it previous IIRC (Twitter, Facebook, yr.no Weather widgets+time and calendar (pure calendar widget agenda edition).

The former are transparent versions customised by someone on XDA and I rehosted them, calendar must be bought off the Market
