Theme background question

I'd appreciate seeing the WPS code that achieves this, could you post it?

Sounds like an idea for a theme though!

I'm thinking of buying one of those do-it-yourself battery changing kits (Though even after nearly 2 years of almost daily use, my battery is still pretty good) and if I do, I'm snapping a picture of the guts and may try to use them as a background.
melancholydm:
is it really impossible? Lets say you dont set a bg.bmp in the wps code and just layout the icons with coding, wouldnt you be able to use a backdrop as a background?
AlexP:
There are two separate backgrounds - the WPS background and the rest of rockbox. You can set the background in the WPS by specifying it in the xxx.wps file, which is where the filename bg.bmp is commonly used, but you can call it anything. If you do not specify a background in your xxx.wps file, you will not have background in the WPS. The 'global' background cannot be seen on the WPS. It isn't a question of seeing it through other icons, it just isn't drawn.
The way of using the same background for both is to specify the same image for both, once for the WPS in your xxx.WPS file, and again for the rest of rockbox.
This is why I would like to see blueskip's code, as what he is suggesting can't be done (if it can I'll buy then eat my newly acquired hat). I suspect he has set it as the background which achieves the same effect in the end, but is different.

I'm almost done. I have one tiny spot of pink showing and I can't get it to show transparent.
Photoshop tells me the color is R=255,G=0,B=255 but it still is pink in Rockbox. ?? Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong to get this to show transparent. Do I need to edit it in something else ... gimp ...mspaint?
Everything else is working. I can see my default backdrop when the music is playing and if I change the default backdrop it changes in the player as well. I used the blackglass theme and modified it so it looks very similar when playing.
