Essentially you need to double the size of the pixel width. So if your screen is 800 x 480, you need to double 480 to 960.
You should also use wallpaper set and save from the market to select your wallpaper.
That way you don't have to bother with cropping and the image retains it's quality.

I tried wallpaper set and save and it did nothing? it crops it just like the phone normally would

Am I missing something?

Thanks 10seVol

I'll try list all items

1. The date is a widget called ExtDate from market.

2. The Design, Favourite, Mesaging and Media are PNG files added to the screen using Desktop Visualiser. In Desktop Vis is a setting to link the image to an application. In this case I have used Simi Folder to create 4 folders as named above which hold the relevant applcations in each folder.
So for eg pressing the 'messaging' icon will launch the Simi Folder with icons in it.

(Refer image above)

3. The battery indicator that shows '40' is 'Circle Battery' widget available from market.

4. The clock is 'Analog Clock' made by mjDev from market.

5. The weather is from 'Simi Clock' with all options off or ransparent so as to only display the weather.

6. All the icons on the RHS are currently part of my background image with a transparent image placed on top of them using Desktop Visualiser and the relevant shortcut.

These could have been made into stand alone icons and would be better that way if you wanted to use more than one screen.

In this design I tried to have everything I need on this one screen, so I didnt bother to make them as icons but rather kept them as part of the wallpaper.

The 4 icons on the left were also initially part of the wallpaper image, but someone asked for them so I made them as icons as well.

7. The notifcation 'bubbles' are 'SMS Unread Widget' available from the market.
Here again I have used a transparent image for each of the three notifications and the 'bubbles' are shown next to the wallpaper image.

8. The triangle at the bottom is an image used to replace the standard Launcher Pro icon that when pressed displays all your Apps.

The oher icons in this dock are hidden away using a blank icon. (In my case they are actually additional shrtcuts that are invisible using a transparent image again. Pressing far right or eg will use 'Lock Screen Button' to lock the screen, and pressing far left will se Quick Profiles' to Silence the device and return to normal after a specified time.

I know the description is a bit long winded but for a new user I hope it is helpful!

Thanks again for your comment.

Cheers

awesome!!.. where you get docs and icons?

Icons I found in this thread in a previous post. Do not remember which one. I can email you the icons if you would like. I made the dock using photoshop, But got the idea from a post I found in the launcher pro forum. This dock and wallpaper work best when used with a phone 7 style theme.

If you look in the middle of my links you will see the vertical icon dock. This is why I use the phone 7 style theme links too hide the wallpaper when looking at this screen.
