Yes. I guess you either just need wallpapers specifically designed for the E61, or you take any portrait shaped 240x320 wallpaper and flip it around.

I know this is a dumb question but can someone please explain what wallpaper is and how it differs from themes. I have an e61 and I downloaded some different themes that were really enhancing. I saw where there were some dowloadable wallpapers also but I do not know what wallpapers are and what function they serve.

The wallpaper just changes the background you see on the standby screen. Themes change anything and everything from the wallpaper, colour scheme, icons etc etc.

Does your wallpaper not fill the entire screen? Mine is 320 x 240 sizewd wallpaper and yet it doesn't cover the screen the image gets centered. I am curious if your unit does this also or it's just mine.

Mine is the same as yours. I think if you somehow create a theme then that particular function actually utilizes the whole screen.

Can someone give me the address for the downloadable themes for some reason i click the link on my phone but nothing happens...

Posted by: jules

Yea, the links in the phone don't work, probably because there is nothing at Nokia for the E61.
You can find some OS60 3rd edition themes here:

Thanks! Funny that the E61 only came with the Nokia theme... Wish it had others like the N80.

Thanks for the link I will check it out

this goes for the n70 also right? i tried to use an image as a wallpaper, but the image only sits in the center, leaving the top and bottom showing the theme's bg.. i remember on my 7610, i was unable to use an image to cover the entire screen. it only covered the center. and someone told me that i have to make a theme to cover the whole screen...

Please stop "paste-ing" that link to everybody. There is only one theme that actually works for E61 at gallery.mobile9.com. And it's pretty hard to find becouse they are all labeled as "for Nokia E61". Sorry for my english.

Can someone with a E61 try the N80 themes I've made? I want to verify they DO work correctly.

If its not too much to ask, please try one and post your comments in the N80 S60v3 theme thread for me. Would like to know if anyone is actually using the themes, if not I'm going to stop compiling them for S60v3 - I can't use them anyways

install pc SUITE that was provided with your e61

theres software in there that does it for you

Any luck anyone? I've tried resizing pics with photoshop to 320x198 and 320x200 but still no dice..still not fullscreen.

Posted by: break-r

i dont think its possible to go fullscreen
on my older series 60 phones, 6600/6620/6630 none could have full screen wallpapers

even now on my E60, when i size an image at full screen res, 352 x 416, it only centres the image

I know this is an old thread, but it took me quite a while to find this info — and actually the only way i found it was to download some lovely person's free wallpaper and open it in photoshop.
the dimensions for fullscreen wallpaper on the e61/e61i:
320 x 197 to allow for top and bottom menu bars. otherwise, the image is shrunk proportionally and you get the borders all around.
I edited my images in photoshop and sent the jpgs to my phone. the post mentioned above says 320x198 which may work as well. 300 or 72 dpi both worked.

make the image into a theme and voila

If you have a large enough pic to play with then 640 x 426 gives you full screen as well.
