When I resize a .bmp image to my photo's resolution, 220Z176, and stick in the .rockbox/backdrops folder, everything looks good.
Then when I enter Rockbox and hold the select button on the picture, it says

Backdrop Failed.

Any ways to solve?

Dunno, try downloading a theme that already comes with a backdrop, and edit that one.

That worked for me. I had a true NenaPod lol

Thats weird/ I thought their were no themes for a Photo. If there are, ill look, but could someone try linking me the page?

you have to resize it correctly and make sure that they are in BMP format. look at some other BMP's. I think the size are 320x240. i think all of them have to be that size.

No they'll just cut off.

drumthrasher109 · 05-05-2006, 05:27 PM

no they won't. use something and resize it and it should scale it down a little bit.

Also the BMP has to be 24-bit.

Eh, yeah. There are a few themes here and there [/sarcasm]

All themes for the iRiver H300 will work for the Photo. Not all of them come with backdrops though. Most of them just change the font and colors and stuff. One that I do recommend, however, is the Vista theme; clean theme, clean WPS, clean backdrops. IM me if you need any help installing/using them.
