Cellbine Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I was wondering what background pictures everyone is using on their home screen. Does anyone have cool images out there? Feel free to post what you use! Here are some of mine. I like the seasonal pictures. Everyone is welcome to any of the images I use. I think this one is fun to display on a Microsoft platform: Edited November 11, 2012 by Cellbine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there are a lot of Edge owners like you out there, that use sports as back grounds. Have you used any other types of backgrounds?

11Edge Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 How do you install wallpapers? I had one when I first got the car but the latest MFT update deleted it and I can't find or remember how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellbine Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Go to your wallpaper section and click Add I believe. Make sure you have a thumb drive plugged in with the wallpapers you want. You have to select the images one by one. Feel free to take any of the images I posted above and I hope this helps. Your car must be parked or barely moving to change the wallpaper, but I don't recommend you trying this when the car is in motion.

Tequila Killer Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Try these. I built them in PhotoShop using similar colors to what the native screen has, red for entertainment, yellow for phone, etc. Since I created these in PS, the colors, layers, textures, shadows, etc are totally editable for your customization. I also lined up the grid so it's centered under the crossed lines on the default home screen. I'm still working on adding simulated "shadows" that would be under the text and graphics to give a simulated 3D effect. I can't attach PSD files so if you'd like me to send them to you I will.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I use the standard Windows 7 landscape series. Pretty good. When I get bored, I will put my own (amateurish tho it may be) photo work into service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63MM Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hey Guys - very informative site here; lots of useful tips. I can't seem to be able to rezise my photos to the correct format. I enter 800 x 378 but the photo is never coverted to that size - it always defaults to 500 x 378. I'm using a jpeg file and MS Office Picture Manager. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

joesworld Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Here's a fantastic Christmas wallpaper I have been using. It looks very very nice on the screen, and matches the red ambient lighting quite nicely EDIT: Wow, the forum really compresses images. Here's a link to the uncompressed image that looks much better!
