Users running LauncherPro

[Guest boffboff]

Can someone try this wallpaper out in LauncherPro please to try and work out what it's doing with the wallpaper. Try scrolling to the other homescreens too so you can see how much of the wallpaper is used.

I was going to try it out but had to re-flash so lost all my apps and I've been running a fresh R5 since then while I messed about with other stuff.

Morning,

I tried it and it zooms in on the red square in terms of its width. There is a thin band (about 1cm) along the top of yellow. When moving to the screens horizontally it stays red to the end (with three screens).

Attached 3 screens from my Vega with launcher pro.

All screens appear cropped and 1 and 3 are offset from centre.

Hi, I did some tests myself the other day, and as per regular android, its all worked in a portrait orientation fashion, (600 x 1024 ,W x H) using the "twice the screen width" for scrolling. The required wallpaper dimensions are 1200 x 1024 (W x H), and this works perfectly, as any image would with the same aspect ratio (1.172).

The oddity is in landscape, it uses the top 600 pixels of the 1200 x 1024 native image, and scrolling parallax is much reduced as the 1200 native resolution doesn't allow much movement.

You also want to use 'wallswitch', free on the marketplace, it retains all the image detail, if you use wallpapers->gallery and crop an image, it down samples it terribly.

I've now got some really pinsharp wallpapers, but you have to crop them carefully as you need to bear in mind that in landscape, it'll not show the bottom 42% of the image...

I just ensure my images are the right aspect (1.172) if they aren't the expected 1200 x 1024, and bobs your uncle,!

I was just playing around and noticed this. What is even stranger is that the locked screen uses the middle 600 pixels, (without trying to hijack thread) any ideas anyone?

... and then it didn't anymore! Lock screen now uses top 600 :s
