thats not how the backdrops work.
If the .wps (or .fms etc) specify a backdrop image it is used, otherwise the config.cfg one is used, so if there is none specified in the config none will be shown

Then perhaps we're suffering variation. Because that is how the backdrops work on the Creative ZEN port (admittedly beta) I'm using.

That's what I see.

I have to say (to my thinking), that does not follow from the above.

Also, that is not the program behaviour I see. What I see is that with .wps specifying a backdrop and (theme) config specifying none, the .wps-specified backdrop is shown on the WPS. As seems logical.

A note to anyone experimenting: After altering the current .cfg file over USB, reselecting it in Settings fails to engage the altered version until next boot. It is as if the .cfg is being read from a cache that's filled only upon boot.

JdGordon:
none will be shown IFF the .wps and the .cfg both don't specify a backdrop. otherwise its a bug

Ah. I see your

 "If the .wps (or .fms etc) specify a backdrop image it is used, otherwise the config.cfg one is used so if there is none specified in the config none will be shown"

must have meant

 "If the .wps (or .fms etc) specify a backdrop image it is used, otherwise the config.cfg one is used, so if there is none specified in the .wps (or .fms etc.) and there is none specified in the config, none will be shown"

Then yes we agree. I do see that behaviour.

However I believe my

 "Surely clearing the browser/menus backdrop using Clear Backdrop as currently documented, should not clear the WPS backdrop even when they are the same backdrop."

still stands.

JdGordon:
???

1) Clear backdrop resets the config.cfg so *NO* backdrop is specified
2) the wps checks the .wps for a specified backdrop and uses it
3) If none is found in 2) then the config.cfg backdrop is used.

THEREFORE is you had previously cleared the backdrop from the menu, and your .wps doesnt specify a backdrop NONE WILL BE SHOWN
