Comments on: Friday - How About Some Wallpapers? http://www.e-series.org/archives/148 Where everything starts with an E - Nokia E50, E51, E60, E61, E61i, E62, E65, E66, E70 E71 and E90 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:18:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: ellka http://www.e-series.org/archives/148#comment-39116 ellka Tue, 18 Sep 2007 01:41:01 +0000 http://www.e-series.org/archives/148#comment-39116 I finally found that although the screen size is 320x240, the image you use for wallpaper must be 320 x 197 to accomodate the top and bottom menu bars. Otherwise the image is shrunk automatically with proportions constrained, and you get the theme's default background all the way around. Nokia really lamed out on this - not only is there no way to edit the image size in the device (ok, fine, I can live with that), unless you resize the image manually on a computer and send it back to the phone (and editing involves shrinking to 320x240 proportionally then cropping the height to 197), it is shrunk as above. That's not wallpaper, that's a picture in the center of the screen. Why isn't the image resized on the fly when it's chosen as wallpaper, or, originally shot at correct wallpaper size? Those extra few pixels don't matter in terms of photo quality. Anyway, there's the way to make your own wallpaper without purchasing special software, etc. I finally found that although the screen size is 320×240, the image you use for wallpaper must be 320 x 197 to accomodate the top and bottom menu bars.

The images specially cut to 320×200 size to fit E61 and E62 wallpaper requirements. Other devices cannot show images correctly.

Any suggestions? It's usual .zip archive. You can use any archiver (e.g. WinZip, WinRAR) or standard WinXP uncompression feature. E61 has zip manager too. Send the file to the device and open it from the Incoming folder or with File Manager, and just extract it to suggest folder. > Not sure how to extract the themes.
