How do you change the PSP background color?

One of the most-asked questions here at PSPworld is how to change the background image on the PSP. Well, as of right now there is no easy way. The background image changes shades depending on the current month. For instance, March's color is light green, and in a couple days everyone's PSP will switch to pink. Until someone creates a hack or Sony enables an option in a firmware update, the only way to change your background image is to change the date in the Settings menu to a previous or future month. Images of all 12 months/colors are after the jump. Note that the PSP's screen is very hard to capture correctly with a digital camera, so colors may not be exact.

Background-1

Background-2

Background-3

I was unable to afford a new PSP, so join a Conga line and get a free one! http://conga.younify.com

As long as all the colors are bearable, I actually think it's pretty cool that it just rotates on it's own. I'm too lazy/apathetic to change it on my own, this way I get a variety of colors with zero effort.

I figured it out. say you want blue as your background color just go into settings and change the date to august and you got blue.

You can also change background by using any pics you have downloaded. Once you have the image viewed hit the "home" button. The image will then turn into your background. It will stay until you turn off or go to a movie or game.

Can I put a personal picture as my background on my PSP or does it just stay in colors?
