Hey!
I just have a little issue here. When im choosing a custom photo or image as background, it tends to get lower color than original. The gradiends gets really ugly. This dosent apply for HTC original walls thou.
I tried with both JPG and PNGs (8/16 bits).
The screen is able to show 16mil colors so my guess that the croptool is converting the image somehow.
Does anyone know another app that is able to set wallpaper wihtout the built in cropper?
A few examples:

Hey guys i don't know if this has been posted yet, but i surfed around and couldn't get any info.
I edited a couple pictures off my comp to use them as background and now i realized for bright color'ed back grounds (ie. blue/white) they blend right in with the main screens *White font color, ya you know the clock etc..
it would help if we can set these color to black/blue/deep blue etc. vice versa, suprisingly htc never thought of this? or am i missing something here =/
changing themes don't seem to be doing much
FONTs....
System and TF3D are available and works from other devices.
Godzon has a nice selection but not all of his include system fonts.
Search for others....Install, if no likey...uninstall
I've noticed that the lockscreen adds a dark tint on the wallpaper.
Is there anyway to remove that dark tint (regedit perhaps)? Really ruins some colorful pictures and makes already dark pictures even darker =/
Thanks!
not sure what you mean - the screen dims after a little while but i havent noticed this problem on my omnia 7 - what device are you using?

It's not the screen that is the problem, it's the wallpaper that is slightly tinted.
The information text is clear white but the wallpaper I have in the background is somewhat darker than the original (compared if I open it up in the pictures hub).
Try opening a picture and see the brightness, and then set is as lockscreen wallpaper and look at it again on your lockscreen. It is slightly darker.

It's slightly darker on the lock screen, but it doesn't bother me. It's so little...
I know its probably not what you want to hear but how about install one of the many photo editing programs? For example Thumba Photo Editor lets you adjust brightness and contrast
Yeah, I guess I'll have to edit the pictures beforehand.
Would be easier if there was a registrytweak or something instead
Thanks for your responses
I searched for this and only found information on other phones...
What is the exact wallpaper resolution size for the epic. I made a cross and scripture that I set to 480x800 originally which is pretty small. I made it to fit the bootscreen for the modification that Rodderik came up with. Now I wanted to try and make it my wallpaper but it forces me to crop it way too small. I would think the 480x800 would be small enough but it's not. I have no wiggle room so I need the exact resolution that it wants.
Thanks!
***sigh***
980 X 800 in case someone else looks this up.
960x800

Wallpaper
So I created a wallpaper at 980X800 which works, however when you flip the phone and get landscape it loses quite a bit of the picture. Is there a trick to this? It doesn't seem to be a problem with most wallpapers.
unless its in a "and I'm likely quoting this wrong" a .9.png fromat it WONT scale right on landscape.. and I'm thinking that a background wont anyway unless there is a mod to the framework.apk
Hmmm... I think you're right. I'll post back with my findings and try to thank you since I can't in the app.
png
So gimp (which people use who theme) does save in png format, but I cannot find the .9 business. I'll test png and see if it helps at all, but I'm sure the .9 format is necessary. You probably have to incorporate two different resolutions into the same file and reference it somehow.
Hi everyone
I noticed that some pictures - mostly 960x800 wallpapers with plain colors transition look good on a computer but in Desire they look like in a "less colours mode" (like not 16bit but 256colours)
it is the same in the gallery - they are smooth when you browse them, but after there is just one on the screen - it sharpens and smooth color transition is lost and they look bad set as wallpaper
i cannot attache a pic but the color transition is not smooth but graduate..
some other pic like face photos, bigger resolution looks OK
is it just a pic/wallpaper issue? is there way to convert those pic to look better?
Might be the file format of the pic. Depends on the depth of the pic as well. If normal images are fine then it'll be the wallpapers.
Just made some tests... it's not a pic
I installed "quic pic" - another photobrowser from android market - and it shows pics very good
- contrarywise I would say - first- pic is loaded quickly - then the quality gets better - looks 24 bit
but when I click - set as a wallpaper - it goes back to showing crappy image, like 8 bit depth...
choosing to set wallpaper directly by the "quic pic" - sets the wallpaper right -like 24 bit, great colours transition...

I think I know what you're trying to say because I'm having the same problem...
It used to be that when you cropped up an image for the wallpaper that you could select the full height of the image to the actual height of the screen. But now the crop tool uses two image frames where the tallest one is for the lockscreen (I think) and the wide one is for the scrolling wallpaper. This means that you can't use the full height of the image for the scrolling wallpaper so with many images you end up zooming in on them and they either look blurry, or you can't actually get the whole image in there, cropping off the top and bottom.
I want to know if there's any apps that will allow you to crop to full height and therefore actually use a widescreen wallpaper at it's proper resolution as your scrolling wallpaper...
For a scrollable wallpaper the max resolution for One X is 1440x1280 if i'm right.Then it looks perfectly on home screen and on lock screen.I've tried also with Full HD wallpapers but it's blurry and it looks really bad,so try 1440x1280 and you should be satisfied :fingers-crossed:
Cheers
