A Different Background For Each Home Screen.

[JdgM3NT4L]

Was looking through the Nook Color forum and ran across this post.

He called the app Multiimage but I could only find MultiPicture. I am pretty sure it is the same app he referenced. Especially since the nice instructions he was kind enough to share worked like a charm.

The different "Hubs" for home, media movies, etc refers to each screen. By default ADW (free or paid) has 5 screens. Each screen is given a theme (I use Social, Games, Home, Media and News). Then you use some sort of text icon to name the screen. The idea is to group content appropriate for each screen so everything is easy to find.

To go along with this many of us have chosen to use the mulitimage live wallpaper app from the market that allow you to have a different wallpaper on each screen.

Download the Multiimage live wallpaper
long press on the screen and select wallpapers/live wallpapers
select Multiimage and choose settings.
press the button labeled "Add individual settings" so you get screen settings for each screen
now select each screen setting and add the source. You will need to have folders on the sd card for each "Hub" and then have wallpapers inside.

Be sure and click the Add Individual Settings button once for each screen that you have. A new field labeled screen 1,2 so on will magically appear above the aforementioned button.

I really like it and just had to share. The Market link is here.

Sorry if this is a useless post but until today I had no idea. Maybe I should get out more...

This can't be all that great for battery life or hogging resources can it?

Anyone done any testing?

It seems like it may be using a little more from the battery, but it hasn't been bad enough for me to un-install it. I charge mine once daily both before using this and after. But I play with the A500 constantly and have streams almost always playing something.

The only other issue that I have noticed is that it can get a little laggy at times. But nothing that I can't live with.
