Here is a simple background editor for the Zune software I wrote in Java. It works with the latest version of the software. There are a few minor bugs but they aren't deal breakers.
Please note that this will make changes to your registry. There is not much to screw up here, the software only changes a file path.

Click the "+" beside HKEY_CURRENT_USER

—-Fine "Shell" and click on it
3. Find ‘BackgroundImage’ in the pane on the right.
- Right click on ‘BackgroundImage’ and select modify.
–Enter "file://" followed immediate by the location of the image you want as the background
— example : "file://Cocuments and SettingsJoeMy DocumentsMy PicturesBackground01.jpg"
You can change your background back at any time by selecting a different one in settings.
Very cool, great job. Only negative thing I can say is .gifs don't work. Thought would be real cool to have a moving background. Well, it works just doesn't play the .gif.
The download link i clicked on gives me an error please help.
I don't know what happened to the original download link but here (http://www.mediafire.com/?ah7cnnd0ypkdx6s) is a re upload that I did. I hope I am not stepping one toes by doing this. Enjoy.
PS:
I did not write the code I'm just re hosting it. The program was written by animatorkid of zuneboards.com

great job animatorkid for making this and thank you belfoset000 for making everyone aware of this.
Also I just made sure i allowed the zune software to check all the folders on my computer like my documents, my pictures etc then it automatically pulls anything you downloaded into zune folder. Then you can go into the zune software under videos and delete the stuff you don't want to sync to your zune. The next thing you do is go under pictures on my zune and select the pic i want as my background then press down the circle of your click wheel and it will give the choice to apply the pic as your background. This is on my 30 gb zune 1st generation i don't know if this will work with all the other models.
