For the guys with the missing or disappearing icons you need "desktop activity manager" this will,let you save and restore different desktop set ups, saves so much time when your desktop items go walkabout.

One way to avoid the pain aspect is to load Live Wallpaper, then go to Settings and check One theme in all views in the Live Wallpaper Settings. This puts the same wallpaper in all nine screens, but since the wallpaper is live, it doesn't seem so boring as you might think.

Edit: Someone should create some nine-screen themes for us...

Have you tried Maemodder application - works great for me and you have the choice of using any image from any folder.

Ok, it's "easy" in terms of how to do it, but not as easy as it is for the default 4.

Install filebox, and you need to name the image 'background-5/6/7/8/9.png' it HAS to be .png. Use filebox to put it in the .backgrounds folder under opt/usr (i think. i'm doing this from memory so i may be a bit out, but i'm pretty sure it's opt/usr/.backgrounds). the '.' before 'backgrounds' means it's a hidden folder, so you need filebox to find it and in settings click 'show hidden folders'.

That's the folder you need to place backgrounds to change the added homescreens, and they need to be titled 'background-5.png' for example to change the 5th homescreen

Richwhite, that is a long winded way and there is no need to go to all that effort.

As I mentioned in the post above yours, Maemodder can to this in a jiffy. Here is another link to the application from this forum

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67989 with explanations on what each of the buttons do on the screen. Even a screenshot! One of the best applications out there for the Maemo community.

I'd like to be able to have a desktop contact and with one click it dials that number not open the contact.

Also id like to be able to change the desktop media player size to a lot bigger so when my phone is in my cars cradle the play or next buttons are Hugh to work along with FM transmitter.
