background "rant" - Motorola Q Forum

rudeboy · 02-23-2007, 02:05 PM

i don't know what it is but after 5 weeks or so w/ the Q i still haven't settled on a background... the home screen is coming along i just keep changing backgrounds :} ...i just had a brainwave (or fart) and i looked for some pcb's and tried that, not the best idea. for the moment i am still using the blue'ish Verizon background.

no real point to this post unless you really feel inclined to share what you have :}

I dunno if this helps..... do you drive a Mustang? lol

sweet.. i would like to have a '65 (my brother had one when i was a young rudeboy, which was pretty cool since i am from the Netherlands where you don't see that many Mustangs..

anyway, the answer would be no, i drive a Ford though.. a Crown Vic. http://cv.roeiboot.com

I'm with you Rudeboy, although I can't seem to find a home screen or background. I almost feel like I'm putting way too much thought into it....

i kinda dig the WM6 green screen but not the one showing in this thread.. i like this one with the green status bars: http://www.mobiledia.com/news/images/56535-1.jpg

I usually cycle through home screens every few days.

I've been trying to look for something with a little bit of design but not too cluttered. I feel stupid because inside I keep telling myself "don't 'f' it up", like it's something crucial to life...haha.

I know what youre talkin' about. Ive gone through a few of my own, but ive settled (for a week at least) on the one that came with the "dark Bliss" home screen. I used the code from the dark bliss homescreen to make my own HS with more features, but still the same looking format and that background seems to work really well with the setup.

BUT, another thing to consider. With dark text on your homescreen, you can basically take ANY picture you have on your phone and just turn up the transparency to a point where you can see the text easily, and it doesnt matter if the picture has a dark spot where you cant see the black text, the picture is light enough to see it still. just something to think about.

yeah, i also tried some pictures (of my son).. looked decent but still not 100% satisfaction. i kinda set my mind on the green one i showed...

so did anyone started coding that one yet ?
or did anybody run into that background at least ?
