The problem is mate, you've given us a HORIZONTAL aspect image (wider than it is tall), when SmartPhones use a VERTICAL aspect (taller than it is wide).

As a result, you will either end up with a totally none Aspect Ratioed screen, like the other user has kindly created for you (which in my opinion, wrong aspect images shouldn't even be bothered with in the first place - I personally prefer NO homescreen, to a one that is as wonkey as a donkey's todga)...

Or do some heavy cropping and thus lose most of your image.

Alternatively, given that its a close up of a face, you can ROTATE it and use it, and that's what I have done here with the attachements (both normal, AND qvga size versions).

Easy fella!

Welcome to the site, but please keep it calm and avoid pot shots at people you don't yet know.

Shadamehr was trying to explain why it's lamost impossible to make a Homescreen out of a source picture of those dimensions... and why you end up with a distorted background.

I agree with him, but that's not to say any of us is "right" - it's down to personal preference.

So, anyway, just how much of the credit do you want for posting somebody else's artwork for one of us to make into a Homescreen for you? :-"

If you join Modaco Plus you can get a free copy of the Homescreen designer and try your hand at making them - it's not nearly as hard as it looks. Why not have a go an show us what you come up with, there are loads of examples in the Downloads section if you need some inspiration.

The MoDaCo Plus membership doesn't come with a Homescreen Designer for QVGA homesreens and this guy has a C550. You'll have to use my tutorial in the Smartphone Customisation General Discussion and as chucky.egg said theres plenty in the downloads section to look at and fiddle with to learn XML.

Calm down Leigh be socially friendly for once :) Cred for what exactly :shock:

Cya tommorrow you psycho

I'm sorry I spoke...

I'm sorry I tried to explain about silly aspect ratios...

I'm sorry I tried to help...

I'm sorry I wasted twenty minutes of my own precious time rotating, cropping to the right size, re-colur balancing, re-saturating, and then brightening and saving, two images for YOU.

Rest assured, there's no bloody way on this earth I'll try to help you again, with an attitude like that, and I would urge others not to bother either.

Jeezuz... what a bloody cheek...

Agreed!

Well I for one thought your new image was much nicer shadamehr, I may even decide to make a homescreen using it now.

If I do, I'll be sure to give you credit, as you actually did something as opposed to saving a picture off the net. :|

I'd like some more pics if possible. If you have already seen my works, you'll know that I love making a complete skin as opposed to a single homescreen. Is that just FF? If it is, I'll be able to source the images off my friend.
