I have a mac and it looks like the paint.net only works with windows. Is it possible for someone to make the picture below into the 960 x 800? I would really appreciate it and thanks in advance.


 
Anyone have a nice University of Michigan Wallpaper? If one has already been done, please disregard this and just tell my lazy ass to find it in the posts, I am just at work and have little time to forage through. Thanks in advance!!
 
If someone could post correctly sized Metallica, Bullet For My Valetine, House MD, or The Office pics that would be great, or any pics that are cool. Also can you make a 480x800 your background? I tried and it only let me do the middle section of it. in other words, I got the 480 part, but only like 400 of the 800 part.
 
Just registered to the forums today and I have to say this thread has some AWESOME wallpapers. I would love to see some Celtic knot work and/or symbols (Claddagh, Celtic crosses, tree of life, etc).

TIA
 
Hi, I've been wondering for awhile: if you're using an alternate launcher (like Launcherpro or ADW) and have wallpaper scrolling disabled, which is a nice feature, 960 x 800 no longer seems like the optimal size.

In other words, you can get the green box to fit over the entire image, but because essentially you're only using one homescreen (or seven identical ones) the end result wall paper is blown up and you lose quite a bit of the actual image.

So I tried to use wallpapers that were 480 x 800 (the size of one home screen) and the photos look the perfect size when I download them and view them in the photo gallery. But when I try to set them as wall paper, the green box won't extend to capture the whole image.

Anyone else having this problem and can offer any solutions?

No matter what launcher you are using, the wallpaper size has to be 960x480 in order for it to show up correctly. If you disable the wallpaper scroll then you will only see 480x800 of that image (480 of the exact middle).

So... here's what you do.

Find wallpapers that you like that are 480x800 (I already had tons of them because it's what you use for custom lockscreens).

Then use your photo software to create a blank 960x800 template. Then simple copy/paste your 480x800 onto that and make sure it's centered.

This is super simple to do in Photoshop. I am sure it can be done in other programs though.
 
thanks to both of you, that's the first thing I've had to go on for awhile! I assume I can also resize any photos I take to 480 x 800 and copy/paste to that 960 x 800 template and they'll be centered nicely?

I'll try to figure out how to create that template in the meantime and if I can't figure how to do it, I'll be in touch, but thanks again!
