About LinkBacksWas trying to fit wallpapers to my Xoom and noticed that it looked like they were constantly being zoomed in when applied. Here's a guide on how I made my wallpapers fit the screen just right.
Normal Application of Wallpaper:
Modified Application of Wallpaper:
When applying a wallpaper regularly I found that you only get a portion of the wallpaper and couldn't figure out where the rest of it was going. I found that when you press the + at the top right of your homescreen, the rest of the wallpaper is revealed in the background:
For this guide I am using a 1920x1280 wallpaper. All that has to be done is to open the wallpaper in paint and adding in a black space at the bottom. The end result will look like this:
The modified image now has a size of 1920x1430. Apply the new image as your wallpaper and you should now see the full image in the background!

I guess you mean portrait? Looks like theres an extended bottom bar. Portrait doesn't look or preform good anyway so I avoid it on my homescreens.

Nothing is being blacked out. Just adding a black space under it. For the example I added a 150px high black space.

Thanks for the tips. Ya portrait isn't ideal IMO unless you're reading a book.

Ok. I found a cheat. First download photile from the market (free). After installed choose a image, then go to the theme manager and choose slow day.. or night I forget. The one that says slow. Now turn off fade, then turn off touch. Finally, set screen shift to 0. Set wallpaper and bam.
Edit: in order to be able to flip the screen you must also set the tiles to the smallest sizeLast edited by johnny cizzle; 03-10-2011 at 12:27 AM.

One more time for this app Wallpaper Wizardrii, it saved me a lot of hassle on this issue! Works in both portrait and landscape, scrollable or not
P.S. alright, that's my last post about it, lolrohdawg and roswell630 like this.
