It happened again!

I was trying a transparent background... so I did exactly what did before..
Put the fullscreen_back.gif under tpa/system/multimedia/mp, start music player, surf thru some musics. Restart music player, and voila!
You get one of your pictures in pictures folder as background at "nowplaying"

To change the picture, close MP, open it again. Restart the phone. Open MP, surf again. Restart the phone, and the pic is changed

It's in this topic (as I said, it's in this thread. thread=topic). This is a 4 page thread, I don't know what page it's on and I don't see why I should do your searching for you. Why don't you read the thread from the start, you might learn something as well as find what you want?

I don't understand why people post a question on the end of a topic that is already covered in the topic itself.

EDIT. There I've done your work for you . It's ON THE FIRST PAGE! ARGHHHH!

but I AM NOT getting this affect. I have done exactly what you say (it's exactly what I said to do in my first post to get the replacement background to appear) and it doesn't happen for me. That's why I asked you what size is your image? It's the same size, so I dunno why this occurs for you? Are your photos on memory card of phone memory?

I tried this, and it just shows up with a white background, even if I scroll lots! [addsig]

results seem varied! Very bizarre behaviour!

Use my shortcut from FS to external method here to change walkman backgrounds without using far or xs++ everytime:

yeah I tried that also, but got strange results. It's the apparent inconsistancy that's odd.

Yep. The only difference is that you have to restart you phone to the background change.
And some of those pics are in my phone's memory, and some are saved in memory card.

So, could you change you's MP background with the shortcut method? Or you got that odd behavior like I did?

okkay I'll try some restarts then and see if it happens.

Yes, the shortcut trick should work, it works using this same skinning method on K740/W800's.
