N82 Query ....

[memyselfandi]

... got a black N82 yesterday as an upgrade on my Orange account. Had some fun working out how to do things as I haven't had a Nokia phone for a while and I'm more used to the way SE do things at the moment.

I think I've worked out most things but I have a query on wallpaper. If I put an image, of the resolution of the screen, onto the phone then it is squashed and doesn't cover the full screen. Reading around a bit this morning I think that to get wallpaper to cover the full screen i would need to create a whole new theme using something like Carbide.ui (assuming the Nokia site ever lets me download it ). Is this correct?

Just resize it to 320x240.

No ... that's the whole point, of you have an image of the correct resolution, 320x240, then it does not display it full screen and instead squashes it down so it only covers part of the screen ....

Managed to convince the Nokia server to let me download the Carbide.ui program ... created a new "theme" which just sets the backgrounds and installed it on the phone ....

Why Nokia have to make things so complicated I don't know ...

edit: and then made another version of it as Nokia's definition of inactive and active backgrounds are the opposite to what i'd thought they would be!
