this file exists with read only attributes

[morrissey07]

I received this advice from Scott to try to place an image as background

"on your Q open up
\application data\home
then copy from that folder to your PC the xml file associated with the homescreen
then open that .xml file on your PC and edit it with notepad
at the top of the code you will see something like background=xxx.jpg
where it says xxx.jpg (xxx meaning the file name of the image) change that to the file name of your picture you want
copy the file back to the Q in the \application data\home folder along with the image you just coded in to the xml and reload the homescreen"


when i get to the step that says "copy the file back to the q" I can't because when i opened the xml file on notepad and i try to save it, it says.....


full.home.xml
this file exists with read only attributes
try using a different name

can anyone help?

What HS areyou using exactly?

[dafoxs]

can't you just open the picture in your picture viewer and hit set has background, or doesn't your phone have that option?

Try this and see if it works..

Make sure your jpeg file is named to opensky.jpg and insert both files into application data/home on your q

P.S. Yahoo mail isnt working for me at the moment so I replied here.. and Is this a WM 6.1 sliding Panels Screen?? If it is just do as Dafoxs says above would be the easiest way..
