Question on wallpapers

Am i missing somethin here? Every wallpaper i put on my droid isn't the quality it should be. I've tried a ton and nothing looks the way it seems that it should,i mean like the wallpapers it come with. I like putting different wallpapers on my phone,and thats about the only thing i liked about my voyager..the quality of the pics were very good. I know the screen is much larger but even the size everyone says doesn't look right.

There were just 3 threads posted with very similar questions in about the last half hour. LOL

It's the resolution. It's a huge screen. There are ones made for the Droid screen in the gallery. Droid Wallpapers - Motorola Droid Gallery - Droid Wallpapers, Droid Gallery

Well i know its a bigger resolution..but even those aren't the quality that it seems like it should be. I tried em. Bah.

Did you stretch the little box as far as it would go when your in the wall paper menu?

Yep i did. I dunno maybe the quality is normal..just seems like it should be alot better to me.

Is there a way to make my own wallpaper ??
Would I resize and optimize a .jpg or something ??

I didn't want to start another topic but had a quick question about wallpapers...How do I store the saved wallpapers so that I can see them in my wallpaper gallery and scroll through them? All the saved pictures I have are in my photo gallery not the wallpaper gallery for some reason.

if you're getting the wallpapers off this forum, they're actually not the full resolution of the screen. for some odd reason, the hi-res download functionality is disabled on the wallpaper gallery. I posted a thread on this a few days ago.

when you use 960x854 for your wallpaper, it looks crystal clear.

Thank you sir,problem solved.

I don't get this myself. I thought the Droid's resolution was 854 X 480. None of the 956X854 files work. They end up being cropped. What am I missing?

you're right, the resolution of the screen is 854x480. but the home screen sides left and right, so to fill that entire area up, you need to use an image that's 960x854. when you open the image in your gallery, set it as your wallpaper, then tap the box till you see the arrows and drag it out so it's max sized. that should give you the full 960x854 wallpaper.

I'm using GDE as my home app. I have downloaded several wallpapers. Some of them have text or an image that should be centered to look good. However, when I apply that wallpaper with GDE, the text is off centered when looking at the home screen. How do I correct so that it displays properly on my home screen? Not so concerned with the other screens and how they look, but for example; I have a Droid Eye wallpaper, that I'd like to display on my "home" screen with the eye and DROID text centered on that screen. Help!!

THANK YOU!!!! I was going out of my mind with the"crop" screen. This concept should be stickied in the background gallery.

Dont tell me I cant just take any pics from my comp or pics I have taken from the camera and cant make them screen savers.

Sure you can....

just remember that if you do not have at least a 960 x 854 pic it will not have that hi-res look that everyone wants... and everyone please stretch out the orange box on the pic when you set your wallpaper... if not it will not be 100%.... pm me if you have any wallpaper/theme questions :icon_ banana:

Thanks for the info glad there are people who really know what they are talking unlike the sales employees at Verison. When I went to go try it for the second time I was trying to figure out how to get steet view with compass mode and they all didnt know what the hell I was talking about lol. It took the main rep 20 minutes before he figured it out and was looking online as well. Thats very sad that they didnt know one of the basic features of the GPS which has been on android for a while now.
