Since the iPhone came out I always wondered where the option was that sets the "Incoming Call" screen to look either with a full screen image in the background or the little image in the name area. (See images below)
I have heard it was only possible via Outlook in Windows. So because I never used outlook to set my phone list I figure it was a lost cause.
I finally stumbled across the answer and since it wasn't easily clear that anyone had written up a "How To" I wrote this one up.
Since we typically add pictures to our contact list thru our iPhones using pictures we either have taken with our iPhone or pictures imported in from iPhone most of us typically won’t attempt to insert pictures using the Address Book app from our Macs. This is why we get the full screen background image of our contact when they call in.
But if you sync your contacts with the Address Book app under Mac OS X and you decided to click on the picture that is sync-ed with the contact you actually get the option to apply all the picture effect you have when using the Photo Booth app. I suppose this is new in Panther only. So I actually applied an effect on one of the pictures that I had sycn-ed in my contacts and low and behold I got the other "Incoming Call" screen.
In other words, if you wish to have the alternative incoming call screen all you need to do is add pictures to your contact list using the Address Book app in Mac OS X and sync-ing your contact with your iPhone.
Enjoy.
