Why Do I Have To Crop My Wallpapers??

I recently just bought my HTC Evo and already have a question about the wallpapers I choose to use. Why is it that whenever I select a wallpaper to set on my desktop it forces me to crop just a portion of the picture instead of allowing the entire picture to be used on the home screen? I'm making sure that the size of the wallpaper is correct, but despite my attempts, no matter what site I download the wallpaper from it still insists on making me crop just a portion of the pic to use. Anyone know how to help with this? Thanks.:thinking:
 
Just so that I'm sure I know what I'm doing... is there a way to set the resolution on my phone if that's the problem? I mean, most of the sites that I go to have me select my phone and the wallpapers are already set to fit my phone when I download them but I still end up having to crop my pics.

no you cant change the resolution on your phone. i cant believe i didnt notice this before, what phone do you have?

EDIT: ops EVO

also some sites tell me my phone has the same resolution as the moto DROID but i end up having to crop a little off the top or bottom because its slightly bigger resolution then my phone is.
