Hmmm... Tough. I can't even quite tell what that background base image is. Tell ya what - I'll see what I can do. No guarantee that the end result will be the same, but I'll at least try to make it as similar as possible. Check back tomorrow (evening probably).

@ skinnhc -

Ok, here's my try at recreating that one. The background isn't as nice but I couldn't find the original for the life of me, so that's about the best I could get it. :mad: Let me know how this works out for you.

To save it at the full 960x854, enlarge on the linked page with magnifying glass or use download button. If your phone's browser wont save it full size, or it looks fuzzy, download and save it with a computer, then USB or email the full sized version to your phone. You can also use the Share button on the page to email it to your phone.

Well, I absolutely love this wallpaper but it would probably only work for the lock screen (which would be just fine except I have no idea how to set it). I don't think the face would scroll across 3 to 7 screens? I've been using it for the lock screen on my old phone because I didn't want icons blocking the image.

eyebeam, how do I reduce this to 480x640 (or 640x480 (or less than 150KB))? I'm making my own theme for PandaHome on this site: http://home.pandaapp.com.

First off, I really don't know much about themes. I have no idea how Panda or any other program deals with the differing Android screen resolutions. That said...

As stated, this pic really wont work well as a wallpaper. In the above post, I've sized it correctly (480x800) for most newer, non -Motorola, Android lock screens.

As for reducing the image file size, that would really effect image quality. Are you sure that's what you want to do?

Yes, I understand all that. I was just asking if it could be reduced because Panda Home requires that it be the size I mentioned in my post above if I want to use it on the home screen. I'm not going to use it for a home screen because I've already stated that I don't want icons covering it.

Maybe someone else will know if the wallpaper size used for the home screen theme in Panda Home has to be the same size for the LOCK screen.

I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear. In the meantime, I'll try the size you posted earlier in the thread for the lock screen.

I thought by providing the link to the theme maker, you would see why I was asking. :) Thanks again.

Ah, I think I see. I assume then that the wallpaper should be 640x480. That's what my wife used when she had Panda on her Moment. That should mean that if the lock screen is not just a cropping of the wallpaper, but a separate image, that it should be 320x480. Sorry, but I just don't have the space left on my Hero to install a bunch of stuff and do any of the testing for you. Here's that pic at 320x480. Hopefully that helps at least... :eek:

Best of luck getting this done, and let me know if there's anything i can do to help.

Thank you so much! I'll try both sizes when I finish making the theme and see what works. Like you, I don't have PhotoShop or any other photo editing programs aside from MicroSoft Paint. It doesn't have the option to set anything to exact pixels (or at least I haven't found it). My son offered to edit it for me (he's got a Mac with a $700 program on it for his artwork/college assignments) but I haven't gotten around to emailing him the image. He told me the same thing you did earlier: The image has to be a high quality one to start with in order to reduce it and make it look nice. :)

If you'd like to try it yourself, I recommend Sumo Paint online image editor .: Sumo Paint 3.0 :. That's what I use to do most of my wallpapers with (along with GIMp). It can do most of the basic functions of PhotoShop.

Hey Eyebeam, I have a small request. How about a Killswitch Engage background for my X? Nothing real fancy, maybe something with just the band logo, like what I have found here.

I cannot choose between the three, they are all pretty awesome. Thanks for anything you can do! As always I know that I will like the results!

Ah, back again, eh F150? :) Always nice to see you regulars.

Sure, I think I can do something cool with one or more of those. It's a little late now and surprisingly I'm sleepy for a change, so I'll get to it tomorrow.

Can someone make me a Kawasaki Dirt bike wallpaper please? thanks :)

Edit: dont know if it matters but its a Samsung Galaxy S

Hey rhys.

I have this Killswitch one ahead of you, but if noone picks this up first, sure, I can do that. And yes, the phone does matter. A few quick Q's for you - Do you have any color preferences? Do you want something bright and flashy or more subtle and minimal?

Ok F150, this may be more than you wanted done, but I really like the way it turned out. Sometimes, when I'm trying a few things out, it just starts working for me so I just run with it. Anyway, I hope you like it too. If you want me to do something more toned down let me know.

To save, blah blah blah... ;)

Awesome! I really like what you did by adding the band in like that. It looks great. If you could make a lock screen with one of the other logos in the center of the screen that would really make my setup complete. As always, when it comes to wallpapers, you have us all covered. Thanks again bro! Perfect job!

Great, glad you liked it. I did too, a lot, so I didn't want to have to change that one.

Sure, I can do a lock screen too. I'll get on that tomorrow for you.

And thanks for the compliments. :):eek:
