I would like to propse a feature request: Add wallpaper support on Montana 700 series, same as it was possible on Montana 600 series.
The profiles itself seems to have some posibility, but no change is possible via UI:
<BkgImage>default.jpg</BkgImage>
<LsBkgImage>default.jpg</LsBkgImage>
<NightBkgImage>default.jpg</NightBkgImage>

Re: Wallpaper Support on Montana 700 series [Request 46]
Only the Colorado x00, Oregon x00/x50/6x0 and Montana 6x0 series supported this feature, nothing before or after.
The code is still part of the 'core' software design, and I suspect they must keep it included to not break functionality with some obscure accessory or software.
The only page on the Montana 7x0 that could display a user defined wallpaper is the Main Menu, and even then we are not able to resize or place icons as desired, so I am unable to understand how the feature would be very useful.

That's exactly, what I had in my mind, to have a customized background image on main menu.gpsrchive wrote: Mon Oct 25, 2021 11:00 pm The only page on the Montana 7x0 that could display a user defined wallpaper is the Main Menu, and even then we are not able to resize or place icons as desired, so I am unable to understand how the feature would be very useful.
