MFT home screen background

[corncobs]

Someone started a similar thread on the BOF a while back. It was really fun to see the submitted pictures. So I thought lets start one of our own here on FFHF; here are a few of my own to get started.

 

The most obvious one:

 

My favorite till today:

 

My new favorite:

 

Here is little experiment after someone on BOF posted one that matched the four quadrants phone/compass/music/climate

 

Unfortunately the layout isn't quite correct since the divider line isn't matching with the pic divider.

 

It would be fun to see other ideas and pictures.

I just figured out yesterday how to do this, and got it to work using several beautiful images that I got off a MFT Wallpapers tumblr.

Now I'm thinking of all kinds of ideas, but agree, fun to see what others are driving around with out there....

 

Here is the page that I used:

I put this one together:

Here are simple instructions for adding wallpaper to MFT.

 

The My Ford Touch wallpapers can be gif, jpg, png, and bmp with a maximum file size of 1.5MB.

Wallpaper Dimensions are 800px x 384px.

 

 

 

1. Load the wallpaper images on a USB Drive.

 

2. Insert the USB Device into the USB port in the central console (under the armrest)

 

3. Select the Settings Options

 

4. Select Display Options

 

5. Select Edit Wallpaper

 

6. Select "Add" and then from your USB device select what images you would like to import. This will just copy the images from your USB drive into the MFT system

 

7. Once the files have been uploaded, press the back arrow and then highlight the image you want and select Save.

 

8. Select the Home button and you should see your image now appear!

I told this to my wife and she looked at me and said

 

" you better not, we have kids in the car! "

You can make a kinds friendly version maybe with Ernie and Bert and a real men's version if you drive by yourself. ;-)

 

Btw after playing around with some Pink Floyd motives my wife really like the following.

I really like the simplicity of your wallpaper.

Thanks for adding the instructions very nice!

with MY luck, I'll have something on the scree, completely forget about it, and have my mother sit in the car with it coming up. Such is the way of the Weird and Wacky.

Thanks, I was going for something that worked even if the icons hadn't loaded. Made it before I even got my car. Loaded it on before leaving the dealership.

Thanks to Corncobs for pointing me in this direction and to gkinla for posting the instructions to load them up. I have played around a bit and made a few single and quadrant type screens. I will post a few in the 800 x 384 size so you can use them if you'd like to. I may also post a couple that show what they look like when installed into MFT. Hope you like them. It's not SO hard to do.

There's something about a big imposing helicopter superimposed with the text "Do Not Disturb" that somehow makes me feel like I don't want to mess with you...

How about the name of the song that's playing......"Above Us All" :) Don't worry, Waldo, I'm not such a bad guy! And there are a lot of guys just like me who either have guarded or ARE guarding our country from the REAL bad guys. And some of us drive FFH's! You're welcome! :)

[gkinla]

Many people say the FFH is like riding in a spaceship, I've settled for now, on this background.

gk, I have to admit, that IS cool! May your supply of dilithium crystals never be depleted! Shields up! :)

I agree that is cool! I'm not sure how much time you spent gk but stuff just fits in the right places very nice.

I can't take credit for the screen background, I downloaded it after I Googled, Ford MFT 800x384 wallpaper. There are many more great wallpapers to download. I thank all the people that spent way too much time creating these wallpapers for us to use freely. The only thing I did was rename my phone to Tricorder.

Still cool ;) you know I just noticed you have it about 70* warmer than me (actually 80* yesterday morning)

Don't know if I'll actually leave it there, but fun to do it.

That picture was taken around 4:30pm. Earlier in the day the temp was 84F.

Nice pic mwr. Beautiful scenery, MFT doesn't really cover up anything and it's very soothing on the eyes. Nice!

[hybridbear]

I like the scenery pic. I tried a couple of those but the colors were too light which made the MFT text hard to read. You really need a sunset/sunrise pic or one with lots of dark colors so that the white MFT text is legible. I'm hoping to take some nice pics on our upcoming vacation that I can use for MFT. Right now I just have pics of the old black FFH which are also in my gallery and shown below.

Just in case anyone else wants to copy gk's wallpaper......here it is. I found it out there on the Net. Enjoy! And a couple others that I like a lot and look good on the display...

Here are a couple of backgrounds that I like and have used in the past.

 

This one is great if you have heated seats.
