Help Wallpaper size

[JLeslie]

I'm trying to figure out what size the picture needs to be to correctly fit as wallpaper. I've looked online and thought I found what the size should be but then I tried a jpg that is 810x1160 and I was only able to fit less than 1/2 on the screen since the cropper only let me use that much.

So what size should I be able to use to fill all or most of the screen and get the whole picture in?

1440x1280 is the best size for wallpapers to fit perfectly from my experience

That's correct. Its a 1280x720 screen, and the background doesn't scroll fully to the 3 homescreens. Instead it only scrolls 2x the screen size across the 3 screens...if that makes sense.

Okay that makes sense. I've finally noticed that the wallpapers I've used do shift as I move from one screen to another. It's not like having one picture that repeats as you move side to side from one screen to the next. Although actually I wish it was as I'd like to see the entire picture on the home screen and if it were repeated whether I scroll left or right would be okay with me.

So I guess if you wanted a picture to be completely viewable in the home screen, it would have to be 1440 (or less) by 256 (1280 / 5). Does that sound correct?

Make it 720w X 1280h and set wallpaper to not scroll in settings.
