Wallpaper specs for the PE
Does anyone have any insight into the requirements for using my own photos for the PE's wallpaper?
File size, resolution, etc. I've tried everything from a 15kb file, which the PE tries to blow up to full size, to a 4mb file but the wallpaper is still to big to be clearly seen. Do I need to go to a 4 gb photo? Any thoughts would be appreciated... Thanks in advance... Happy Holidays to all... |

File size has little or nothing to do with getting wallpaper to appear correctly - at least on my EE. The main requirement is the pixel vertical and horizontal resolution.
The wallpaper I use on the LCD is a larger picture resized to 1024 x 600 and the e-ink was resized to 1200 x 800 - the EE enlarged that to 1200 x 825 with little discernible distortion. There are several programs that will allow you to resize pictures while keeping the aspect ratio. You may have to go to a slightly larger size and crop, or let your PE do the final sizing for you. This assumes you know the actual sizes of the screens on your PE. |

I've only tried one picture and it was perfect. I guess I just got lucky.

The native resolution on both Pocket Edge screens is 800 x 600. There is no scaling available; any image with a higher resolution gets cropped. You have to crop the image yourself. An easier way is search Google Images and set the size to exactly 600 width and 800 height. I searched for Escher and had a great wallpaper for the E-ink side in about a minute.
