Thanks a lot NiLuJe for sharing all of this.

I've just jailbroken my Kindle 3 Wifi and installed the screensaver hack, but I can't get it to work and I'm hoping someone can help.

Here's the deal: the default you_can_delete_me.png screensaver displays without any problem, so I take it this means the hack is successfully installed, but none of my other screensaver images display, and if I remove the default screensaver image, then the screen goes blank when the device is sleeping (though even that is better than the spooky dead writer portraits).

The images I'm trying to use are .png 8-bit greyscale 600x800px images that I've edited with Photoshop.

I've also tried using the Halloween set I found on Booksprung and can't get those to work either.

Is there anything specific about the image files, perhaps the format or size, that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance, I'll be grateful for any insight you can share!
