I have tried 4 different Launcher's now..
AWD.Launcher
Go Launcher Ex
LauncherPro
TouchWiz
On the first 3, every time i set a background image, i only get the middle section of it all pixilated and halfassed.
With all 4 of them, you long press the background, select wallpapper > Gallery > find Pic> select Tall Cut out & set accordingly.
The only one that manages to actually set the picture area properly as the tall cutout crops to is TouchWiz.
What is it doing wrong or what am i not getting?
any help would be a kindness to this poor soul of mine
Try Wallpaper Wizardrii from the market it has different options of cropping. I use it and it works GREAT!
From what I know if your on whites tw4 then it does that even if you use a different launcher. The wallpapers work fine on his tw4 but not on any other launcher while tw4 is still installed
Hope that helps

Worked Perfectly, thankyou
Hi,
I am trying to fit a 1280x960 sized wallpaper on my ADW Launcher screens. no matter what I do, it gets only first half (top) of the image to the screen.
What is wrong with my settings ? How can I set correctly ?

This is a well known issue with ADW. People are getting around it by using a free app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. It will not hack up your wallpapers (plus it has some other cool features)....

I managed to get over it by resizing the image to 1280x1280 (adding blackspace to bottom)
+2 for multipicture live wallpaper

Ok I do not yet have mine yet, but after reading the Prime thread and the TF300 one we should do the same, plus it would be a great to see what you have all done
This will be a nice thread. Will post my screen later. Have a hard time deciding how to arrange my home screen. Using Apex launcher. Crashes quite often so that will be prio one to decide launcher to use.
Three of the four I'm using. The other one is with some cloud apps and my calendar agenda widget (Wizz)

Apps! Apps everywhere! lol. I need some big widgets to throw on my home screens...
My 2 cents, smudged because of some sensitive text/data...
Ordered like on the tablet, 3rd one is home screen. Apex launcher, apps, some standard widgets + minimalistic text for titles.

It's the biggest weather widget (manually resized to be a bit smaller actually) from HD Widgets + Dual Battery Widget.
I think that transparent agenda widget from Wizz is pretty cool too.
And battery state on the bottom is from GSam battery widget.

My screens,
the middle/main one.
and the right one
and a screenshot were you can admire my wallpaper.
I actually think that choosing the wallpaper in ICS is totally rubbish.
Why doesn't it downscale the picture if it's too big?
Or why the hell doesn't it fit? It's just 1920x1080.
Wouldn't that be the perfect size for the Infinity?
The wallpaper would actually look like this
+1 on being annoyed by having to crop the wallpaper picture
It works a bit better with Nova Launcher, but then you have to live with a cut wallpaper in portrait mode...
Wallpaper wizardrii is what you need to scale the wallpaper to whatever you want.
I've been to mycolorscreen, which features mostly portrait and probably phone themes. Is there any site that's more tablet oriented (with apologies, my googlefu is weak today)? I kind of want to do an anchored list on the left of each screen, and I think I recall the best of those usually add some elements to the wallpaper itself to highlight the selected anchor, so you use maybe minimal text for the icon to the anchors, but then set them inside shaded portions you've crafted into your wallpaper. I kind of think I know what I want to do, but I'd love to have some good examples to build from.

This works well and fine, but still not a solution to portrait mode wallpaper cut-off.
I use Apex launcher and just because of this wallpaper problem never use homescreens in portrait.
If anyone knows of solution....please let us know.
Thx
Here's mine.

Edit: my screen shot.
only if you switch it on in the system settings first
I use Nova prime and if you go into Nova settings, desktop, height margin and select none or small it resizes portrait screen.
Still very much a work in progress but it's starting to get showable.

I prefer MultiPicture Live Wallpaper

Leroybrute .............. what is the weather and time widget on your homescreen? Thanks in advance .......... Dos
Hi there,
So I use Nova Launcher and I have styled it like the new 4.4 launcher where my main screen is to the left and others on the right. I really want this particular wallpaper and the main feature is in the centre. When I apply it moves to the center of my four pages but I want it centered on my 1 home screen. When I apply its fine but after about 3 mins it auto switches! Does someone have a fix?
Is it the launcher?
Also wallpaper scrolling on or off is no fix!
Thanks in advance here is some screen shots, first being what I want then what it does.
ALSo: cropping the photo zooms in SK that also no fix!

Use the portrait option while applying the wallpaper so that it remains the same on all the screens...(SS attached)

Thanks for the reply, but how do you get that option? I set my wallpaper via Gallery-> Select Photo->Set as Wallpaper

Touch and hold on homescreen and select wallpapers.. Select gallery from there and choose the wallpaper.. You will get that option!

Hi
I'm using Muzei and for some reason it's scaling the images to be spread across the multiple home screens.
Is there anyway in CM11S to have it fixed? That way the image will be nicely centred on my screen.
Thanks
Paul
Use Nova Launcher. The option is in the settings under the desktop settings.
OK I know Nova does, but I'm after it for Trebuchet in CM11S
Hi,
Is this non scroll wallpaper solve? I'm looking for this function as well rather than using others launcher.
Thanks
