This may have been asked before, so I apologize in advance if it's been answered.

I'm currently using the WallSwitch app, which I LOVE, but let's say I didn't want the Wall Switch app to run and just wanted it to lock in on a particular picture. What I noticed, with WallSwitch, is it has the ability to show the picture in its entirity and not crop it (like the standard wallpaper setting).

What I want to know is, how can I set a wallpaper pic without it cropping (just like WallSwitch allows it to do)? As much as I like having a wallpaper that extends throughout my 7 sense homescreens, I like it better when I can see the entire pic and I haven't found a way to set a wallpaper without it adjusting.

I know that the ideal setting is 960X800 for wallpapers, but I have a bunch of pictures that WallSwitch goes through that aren't that resolution and they don't get cropped or re-sized at all.

Thanks in advance for anybody that has the answer.

Photoshop. You don't have to be an expert but it helps if you know your way around. The ability to center the portion of the image on your home screen depends on how many screens your using. I use 4 and in order to get my images centered on my home screen I have to move them left of center. It's easy to do once you know how to do it but with photoshop it can be tricky knowing where to look to do what you want to do. Here's an example downloaded from the net.

Wow! Those are awesome. How did you make the screenshots? I've never tried that before, from a pc or mac.

I've got a pc.

What I did was watch the trailer on Youtube in HD and set it to full screen. When I got to a part that I thought would make a good background I would hit Ctrl+Alt+PrtScr (Print Screen).That copies the whole screen, which in this case only has the paused trailer on it.

Then, in Photoshop, I opened one of the Evo wallpapers that I already had and pasted over it.

Glad that you like them.

Nice! Thanks for responding to my question. I just figured there wasn't a way since nobody replied. I have the photoshop app on my phone too and didn't even realize I could do it through there! Hahahaha. Shows how often I really use it. Thanks again. I'm gonna check that out.

Oh, I see! LOL...I figured it was something like that. The quality looks so clear, so I couldn't imagine that it could be done, but I guess it can. Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna try that out now. I've saved print screen pics for smaller sized pics, but never full size wallpapers.
