Theme background question
blueskip:
I'm clueless as to how to respond to that but I'll try.
I'm not trying to make the OS "background" invisible. I'm trying to make the THEME "background" invisible so I can see whatever background I have the OS set to through it.
It is possible, because I have kelp running this way all the time. What I want is gui buttons and stuff not just plain text and simple graphics.
MarcGuay:
Just set the WPS background image to be the same one you're using as the menu screen backdrop. Â The best way to figure this out would probably be to find a theme that does what you want it to and play around with the code/change the images, etc.
Oh, and I have no idea what you mean by graphic/GUI buttons. Care to provide an example?
blueskip:
I think what you are saying is the key to what I wanted to know. Using the pink color only makes the theme default to text and not work or it just displays the pink.
What I meant by the UI buttons is hard to describe. I just mean, depending on the them of course, the buttons onscreen that have the play symbol or volume bar, or battery and light up or whatever the case may be. I wanted those to show over the default background of the player.

The default theme is shown when your .wps code doesn't work. The special pink shade is used to denote the part of a graphic should be transparent. I think you're misunderstanding where the background on the WPS screen comes from. Have you read the CustomWPS wiki page? If not, you should do that before asking any more questions.

This is absolutely possible and has been done many times. The only advise I can give you is read the wiki pages concerning WPSes and study some of the themes that have already been made which do the things you want to do. Good luck.

what he's asking for is basically something I am interested in.... at the WPS screen he wants his background to be whatever backdrop he has. so if he wants to change a backdrop then the same backdrop will be seen at the main menus and WPS screen.
