So, along with a bunch of help from Adam and Erik, I managed to get it finished and deployed today. You can see it on top of the page on 10 If it overlaps with the logo for you, try forcing a refresh using ctrl+f5 in IE... or just picking reload/refresh in whatever browser you use... the css had to change to [read more...]Filed under | 2 comments »Share this -

Creating backgrounds for your Zune
Sunday, November 19, 2006On the Zune, any picture on the device can be set as the background for all of the menus, providing a great way to customize the look of your Zune.
