Wallpaper help needed!!

[Tom]

Still working on it.
Tried a few times and its getting better but still the picture is not centered.
I am not sure about the single screen resolution, is it: horizontal 800 and vertical 960?
So I would need the empty picture to be 1600*960?

Hello Tom! This is my first post in this forum. I'm having the exact same problem and still haven't figured out how to bypass or avoid or eliminate or ignore the friggin' orange lines. Have you come upon any solution?

Hi everyone,

ok, here is my problem, I just cant get an obviously easy task done.
On my Galaxy S I only have 1 home screen and i want to put a picture as wallpaper but i want the picture to fit completely in the screen.
I have tried lots of resolutions and read the sticky post about this (wasn't sure about opening an empty picture though) but the picture, even after the cropping step, appears way too big for the screen. If I set more home screen than I see "more" of it but that is not what I want.

I dont see what i am doing wrong
Any help appreciated
Thank you

If you want one picture for each screen there is an option. When selecting the wallpaper you'll see 2 orange boxes at the bottom of the screen. The first one is for 960x800 and the other one is for 480x800 (see pic below, orange square with green fill. press it to select locked wallpaper)

The locked homescreen background needs to be 800 pixels high and 480 wide which is the physical screen measure.

You can also use the same size when you set the locked screen background to be different from the one on the active homescreen.

What do you mean by 'eliminate'? The lines are just guides so you can drag the visible edges of the picture. If you touch the orange line, you'll see the handles.
