Good to see some nice, tame backdrops that aren't so busy they completely obscure the text sitting on top of them. Too many of the user-contributor sites are full of themes like that (not to mention the general fixation on breasts and cars).
Yesterday I stumbled across some beautiful backdrop images that were shared on one of the Origami preview sites. I wanted to make backdrops for my Pocket PC with these, but once again I found I couldn't make a Today theme that didn't have nasty banding in it when viewed on the Pocket PC. I tried McDeb's theme making program, then switched to the KamWare app it's based on, because the KamWare one allows you to set a custom level of compression. I tried working with the original PNG files, then tried JPEGs, but even at the lowest level of compression and with VGA specified, the image banded.
Does anyone have a suggestion for making Today themes with images that aren't degraded on the device?
Cheers,
