You mean if you change the backdrop in the menu screen, then your WPS bakground automatically changes too?

I would really love to see the WPS code :)

blueskip:
here is the code although almost all of it was created by Chris Banes so I can't possibly take credit for anything other than figuring out how to make this work differently.

I added two new bitmaps and did away with the original backdrop bmp.  I cant figure out how to insert the images here.  But I moved the background of the battery, lock and disk to the top.   I cut the entire lower portion of the original backdrop and placed it on the bottom that is bmp.bmp above.  Stat.bmp is the white background from the original.  I'll see if I can open in a sim and post a screenshot soon.  

For anyone wanting to use this immediately the fast forward and rewind buttons still do not work correctly.  I need to look and see what I did wrong.  I did a couple of things wrong before I figured out how this works.  Since the mistakes don't seem to affect the way this works I left them.  I particularly wanted this for a large font such as Nimbus 19 so the lack of information onscreen is for that reason.  I would really prefer a font of about 17 or 18 but I haven't been able to find any and haven't had time to convert one yet.

Update: fastforward and rewind icons fixed.  They now highlight when used.  I included a screenshot.  It doesn't show the battery, lock and disk because it's from the sim.  The sim crashes with .dll problems repeatedly when I use it, but the battery icon..etc. show correctly on the ipod.

Just did a test on the sim and indeed, it's true.  If you don't set a new background in the .wps file it sticks with the menu backdrop.  The world is full of surprises.

Looks like I need to buy a hat to eat then :)
