F.A.Q.

Note: factory presets cannot be deleted or changed

How do I delete a background?

In the background screen, long press on a background and select delete.
Note: factory backgrounds cannot be deleted or changed

I made my own Preset where can i share it with the world?

A good place to share your presets are social networks. There is a designated Google+ Wave Community for general discussions and sharing presets.

How can i save more than 50 Presets?

You can only have 50 Presets in your App. If you want to save more than that use the share functionality to save the images/links to another place.
Good places would be:

  • Google Drive (image only)
  • Your own email mailbox (since you'll save the clickable link as well)
  • a private Google+ posting
  • a posting to the Google+ Wave Community.
    Good presets which are shared here will be included in the online user-preset repository

Can i set my own background image?

No, There is no possibility to set your own background image at the moment.

I found a bug / I have a feature request / bad translation etc.

Please send uns an e-mail or post to the official Google+ Wave Community

I've updated to Version 3 but i cannot find my favourite preset from an older version

All old presets are saved to the online-repository which can be accessed from the preset screen (upper right corner) or directly : http://paperworldcreation.com/wave/browse_presets/ -> click on show all. The first entries will be the old presets.

Troubleshooting

Everytime i try to share a preset application {XYZ} opens... I want to share this with something else!

Wave presets are shared as images. You probably have set a standard app for sharing images, that opens when you share a preset. To reset these standard settings

  1. goto Settings in your Android device
  2. goto Apps
  3. find the application that opens when you share a preset
  4. in the setting Launch by default press clear defaults

When I scan a preset or click on the link from my Android device my browser opens and gives a "404 Page not found" error

Wave uses a custom url to encode the presets. Your browser does not support custom urls, try using Chrome instead, or you set your browser as the standard app to open these Wave presets. If that is the case you need to reset the lauch defaults for your browser:

  1. goto Settings in your Android device
  2. goto Apps
  3. find your browser that opens up when you try to import a preset
  4. in the setting Launch by default press clear defaults

After playing with waves settings for a while the screen is black when i set it as my live wallpaper

Set a different background and reset Wave.

In the background screen all backgrounds are completely black

The background preview is dyed in the background color set in Colors > Background Color select a different color to view the differnt background-types

I set the background color, but the background has a different one

Make sure you uncheck automatic background color and background gradient in the color settings.

I set the Wave color to changing colors but they never change

You probably have a color speed setting of 0. 0 means no change
