I only know the way of fixing this on the x50v, unfortunately:

replace the file stwaters_480_640.gif in your /windows folder with the one that you create (on a pda or other picture software, saved as gif extension);

yes, only gif. in x50v if you set picture backgrounds using "pictures" it re-encodes it to a gif file, and places it under /windows. for landscape the file is stwaters_640_480.gif

maybe you can get some hint out of that for x50 mid?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS !

It worked! Thanks to you!

On the x50mid, the file is called default_stwater.gif. It contains both normal and landscape image.

Wow my Today screen really look sharp now, thanks a lot !


Now, microsoft really screwed up on that one though.
Why the hell would they limit the today background as a 256 color GIF file? 1, a gif is a lot bigger than a JPG, so it takes more memory when loaded. 2, why display 256colors when you can display 65k ?

Anyways, thanks for the tips man !
