Default Motorola Droid Wallpapers: Make your own.
Just after buying my brand new Droid four days ago. One of the very first things I did was create my own wallpaper for it. The size of the wallpaper is not what you think it should be. It's not the width of the screen (480px), it's not even three times the width of the screen due to the fact that the wallpaper slides at a different rate as the apps on your phone. The correct dimensions for a Droid wallpaper are actually 960x854px.

So, I created a Photoshop file set to the perfect dimensions, also including guide lines depicting where important key areas of your screen are so you don't have anything covered up, etc... I've attached the compressed photoshop file at the bottom of this thread.

Make sure you save out your images in a high quality format like a png-24 for best results. Then, upload your images to your phone!

Enjoy!

PS: After you upload your images to your phone. Open up the image in the gallery app. Find your desired image. Click on "Set as" > "Wallpaper". Then press and hold your finger on the orange 1px border that is around your image and drag that line to the top of your screen so you get 100% of the image. Press "Save". Done. Awesome.
