I know how to change the call progress background... but when someone calls me... a different image appears. I can't seem to find this image on the phone. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

* Change the Dial and In-Call Screen Background

1. Copy \Windows\BackgroundImage_Land.bmp and \Windows\_BackgroundImage_Land.bmp to your PC or a backup folder in case you want to restore these in the future.
2. Make images with dimensions of 320 x 186 with the same names as the files above above.
3. Copy the new images back to the \Windows\ folder and overwrite the old files.

In the latest HTC ROM, those files do not exist so HTC must have given them different names.

In case you haven't found it yet, in the latest HTC ROM you need to replace:

\windows\HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186.bmp

that's not the image... that image is for when you're actually on a call.

the image that displays when a call is coming in but you haven't yet answered the phone is different. i've checked every image in the windows directory and it isn't there so it must live someplace else.

you have to save the file into a temp dir on the phone and then use a program like total commander to copy it to the windows directory. it'll overwrite then.

I thought this would be an interesting customization as well maybe some of the more technically inclined members here could give us some insight.

I have already posted on this site how to change your background. Just use the search button at the top of your page on the right side.

Any other questions, just pm me. It's easier than going through this forum's threads,plus it keep these threads not so clogged with repeated questions.

Have Fun.:)

Also, is it possible to change the call-in font color? For whatever reason, it's black and all my other fonts are white, makes it hard to read. I'd like to keep the background as is. But I guess I could change the background image to something lighter so the black font will show up, but I searched around and I don't know how to do that either in Ricky's.

I too have this issue with the black font on the incoming call screen very hard to read. All my other font colors are white except the inoming call screnn. I posted in the alphanuma thread asking how to change it but have not gotten an answer. Hopefully someone will help us resolve this soon.

This color is located in your xml. It is the homehighlitetext and hometext colors

If you want to change these it will apply throughout your entire phone. It will do what you are talking about, but beware these will affect the entire phone, and this IS the only way. Worked with it long enough to know.

This can't be the case because I look at the theme xml file and the homehighlitetext and hometext are set to #ffffff and all the text on my phone is white except the incoming call text is black and no where in the xml file do I see font set to #000000 for black Im using alphanuma wonder if it has something to do with that but its odd because when I make an outgoing phone call the text is white just not the incoming very strange.
