REMIX wallpaper issues
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Hi!!!

Here's the thing...
I made some wallpapers for my slider REMIX, and they mostly worked great, I just had to do a little trial and error to find out they have to be 176x180 to fit perfectly.
Now I have a weird problem:
When I crop any picture to use as a wallpaper, it works fine...now, if I make something in photoshop, with exactly the same characteristics, they show up on the wallpaper menu, but once I set them as default, all I get is an empty, blank wallpaper...what is going on here? Am I missing something?
Before anyone asks me to, I can't attach them here, because they are large (53k)...

I figured it out...
The ones that didn't work, were saved in JPG progressive mode...
Once I set it to save in Baseline Optimized mode, it worked.
Just thought I'd leave this here for anyone who runs into the same problem.

is that pixels? the w+h in pixels correct?

Yeah, width x height in pixels. Also, the PNG format works better for phone wallpapers. Zero compatibility issues (save for a corrupted file).

The wallpapers that are preloaded on the phone are 176x220, but 176x180 works just fine. I have not been able to see a difference between the two resolutions. I think this is because the screen actually is 176x220, but the status bar at the top and the function key bar at the bottom are both 20 pixels tall.

220 - 2(20) = 180.

If you use 220 height, it won't show up right, because of the two 20px bars.
It will show white stripps at both sides of the wallpaper, and the image will appear "broken", as if you zoomed it, u know?
