any backgrounds made specifically for the n800?
 

I already have solidgoldcode (http://solid.gold.code.googlepages.c...nd.backgrounds)
but was wondering if there are any more?

Re: any backgrounds made specifically for the n800?
 

Yes, as a matter of fact.

Any Flickr shot that can be downloaded in a medium resolution works fine as a background. There's a huge range oof photos tagged as 'wallpaper' for starters.

The ones linked above are cut to the exact proportions, too, though, so there's no stretching or any of that.

In any case, good to know there's plenty of options, right/

What I just recently discovered is that psp wallpapers look very good as my wallpaper and there are thousands of those on the web

Re: any backgrounds made specifically for the n800?
 

I'd recommend against this practice, as the PSP's screen is only capable of 480x272, and the backgrouns will be very pixelated on your maemo device.

You can do this yourself with your own pictures. Just resize one to 500 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. Most any photo software should be able to do this. If you need a freebie, download IrfanView. Save the resized picture, connect your IT, or your memory card, to your computer, and transfer the picture file to the card. Then on the IT home screen. tap the bar at the top, select "Set background image..." and browse to where you saved the file. Select the file and click OK to install it or Preview to see it.

Perhaps. The ones I downloaded from the net were 500X300.

One quick and dirty way of getting some nice wallpapers:

- find a picture that you like (flickr, own pics, etc), and save it to your device
- open it with the Image Viewer application
- from the application menu, select Edit > Crop
- Set the ratio from Default ratio to Screen ratio
- Drag the resulting box to the top left corner, then grab the lower right triangle and drag the box to the correct size, so that it covers the area of interest
- Hit the green check mark
- This results in the right proportions, but the picture may be still too big - use the Menu > Edit > Resize function (but usually not necessary)
- Hit the folder icon to save the picture (I usually use "high" quality")

Now use the home menu to set this image as your background. You may need to use "scaled" instead of "centred" if the picture is larger than 800 pixels wide.

Quick and dirty, but works for me. :)

Does anybody know if there is a utility to automatically change the background image on a tablet at regular intervals? Or am I just too lazy!

Re: any backgrounds made specifically for the n800?
 

No but this is on my Tablet Apps Wishlist

Re: any backgrounds made specifically for the n800?
 

You must have downloaded some pics that were formatted/resized for a resolution different from the ITs (i.e., for this forum or something). 800x480 is correct.
