I changed mine to reflect the Vista Home Premium theme. Its awesome!

So if YOU think it's ok, does that mean the whole Zune team will add this feature also in the next update to the Zune software?

Because that would be really neat you know, for it to be officially added.

cesar needs to update the post to reflect where the hack came from, zuneboards.com. im not part of the team but needs to give credit where it is do.

let me answer for u, Ceasar. "uh Michael, we don't comment on rumor and speculation"

So this doesn't violate any software laws for the zune? do as i say not as i do? whats that all about?

Het Cesar,

   Can we get some "allow posting pictures in the zune.net forums" love. Who can I instant message to get an answer? I started a thread but haven't gotten an official or semi-official answer. Thanks

yea i agree

If you think is OK so why not make it a REAL feature instead of a hack that not everyone is aware of.

Im just confused by your response and reaction...

I mean..... WTH?!

and yea, ZuneBoard users/hackers were the first ones to find that out

Jeff if you are gonna go to where it came from you need to go a little further than zuneboards.com it originally came from darkzune.com which is a spinoff of zB. Darkzune has had it since nov 15th, zuneboards just made it a little more customizable based on what darkzune did.

Yeah it's from ZuneBoards and I myself am part of the ZB Team. Just not the Hacks & Mods Area =]

Beat that itunes! ^_^

@Tom,

LOL

But as the Zune team said, there'll be updates to the zune software more frequently. I hope they add this feature :)

yay!  put that other background hack to shame!

I am pretty sure it was us who made this hack first, but why not just give credit to copy websites.

UUUMMMMM....you need to do your homework a little better next time cesar...even ZuneThoughts referenced where this came from - http://www.zuneboards.com/content/view/187/2/

When's the Zune party at CES and how do we get tix?

Seems to me like an obvious oversight <sigh>

nice... I did this when zuneboards first posted it, what I was saying "nice" to was Cesar's reaction. I mean, how often do you hear someone from a company commending people for hacking their software to make it more useable? (I never have, with the exception of open source stuff, but thats not really from a company)

I hate forums that make you register just to view posts! :)

you ppl complain and whine about everything...God!

Looks pretty cool but I refuse to be put into a position where I am forced to register for a forum just to view one post.

Maybe someone else will post up the instructions somewhere else... oh well

So Cesar...when are you going to change the background on your website? You had that same background for a while now.

Cesar it looks like you have a Black Zune 4/8?

You are aware that DarkZune's Hacker "White Rabbit" released the original hack which was later derived by ZuneBoards..

Just wondering if you had taken this into account.

Great Blog.

Dark Zuners and Tuners

Actually, ZuneBoards figured it out before DarkZune, so I wouldn't say they "derived" from DarkZune. However, we can say that DarkZune itself  did derive from ZuneBoards.

@ Ricardo Dawkins (from ZuneScene?)

What do you mean by "you ppl"?

Aren't we all part of the social?

Being able to change the background should be a simple preference that we should be able to change without a 'hack.'  

The Background hack does work and very well might I add. I made a custom background for it that I like a lot, if you would like it here it is.

Hey,

I am Fez, I worked on the background hack with

WhiteRabbit. We(Darkzune.com) created the original zThemes hack way before Zuneboards did. Although, props to them for making the customizable version. They can say that they had thought it up all along, but hey, its doing it that matters the most.

Good Job

Berdon (Nurta didn't and can't do jack squat his name is just there because he is an Admin)

Peace Fellas

Whoa, didn't know the Insider posted this and props to cesar for commending the Zune community for this.
