helllllooo guys..okk here it is...

I have a jailbroken 3G without winterboard..i dont want to install winterboard cuz itll start slowing down my phone with all the themes ill put on and such..all I wanna do is put a background behind my springboard.

I did this before, the "wallpaper.png" image had to go in the \library\theme folder, but now that I'm not using any themes, just the stock one, how do i do this? where would my springboard wallpaper.png image file go?

thanks a lot.

I wondered about this for a while myself while on 2.1 and just decided to do without themes..... Then 2.2 and an update to winterboard came out and I have not experienced the lag of previous versions. Honestly, it runs just as fast as it did before I JB.

If you haven't used the latest version of winterboard, I suggest you give it another shot... :)
If your phone still runs slow on this version, then I don't know what to tell you.. :confused:
 
If all you install is winterboard and select the user wallpaper option you should be fine. Have some control and dont install alot of themes. 1 is plenty.
