Help with wallpapers...

How do I add custom wallpapers to the Captivate? I know I can do it through the gallery, but I don't want to crop them. Not only that, but I want them to show up in the actual Wallpapers list. Anyone know?

all wallpapers are 960x800 even if it doesnt ask you to 'crop them' the 'crop' is actually selecting a 960x800 section of the image.
as for them showing up in the actual wallpapers list, that is handled via the launcher.apk
its more trouble than its worth. just go through the gallery

you can have a crop-free picture if you use Doldol wallpaper maker

[Q] How do I; Wallpaper sizing

I have a pic in my gallery that I want as my home scree. The only way I know to do this is Apps>Gallery>Image(of choice)>Menu>More>Set as>Wallpaper>...It's at this point I get lost. I want the entire pic to be a wallpaper but when your in wallpaper you get a box that will only stretch so far. How do I get the whole pic as my wallpaper?
I tryed resizing the image to 480 X 800 but the best it will allow is 480 x 618. Even with this, I still need to use the wallpaper sizer.
How do I fix this?

wallpapers for our phone need to be sized at 960x800

Use Dodol Wallpaper Maker

I normally just download flikkie hd wallpapers and then just move the wallpaper I want into the flikkie folder.

What do you think about Inspire's Wallpaper Option?

So, I'm not very happy with the wallpaper options in this phone. I understand that, it's more of HTC Sense setting, but it doesn't let me choose home or lock screen. Plus, when I choose a picture from my gallery to use as a wallpaper, the weird crop square shows up and doesn't let me use the whole picture. What's up with that? Am I missing something? What do other people think?

The wall paper is ok but, I went to the market and downloaded city at night wallpaper and its a lot better for my tastes.

You should use 960x800 sized wallpapers. You can't select the whole picture because your iPhone wallpapers or whatever are the wrong aspect. There are some good downloadable wallpapers in the HTC Hub and there are a million wallpaper apps in the market.

Your wallpaper is scrolling as you swipe left and right to different screens, that's why it's square. I just use 1920X1080 wallpapers and they look fine.

[Wallpaper app] Pimp your screen

Discovered Pimp Your Screen app when using the Samsung App just now. The wallpapers are all high quality, and there are both digital illustrations and photos. Some of the wallpapers have a surprise twist when you set them in fullscreen mode. Give it a try anyway!
Appears to be an iphone port.
After playing with it for a while, I've realised that you can set your desktop with the wallpapers but not save them. To get around that, I switch to Zeam launcher without any icons on the desktop and take screenshots with the S-pen. I'll try to stitch the images in photoshop.

I was able to save ok, did you hit apply?

Is there a way to use both custom and recommended in Wallpaper Carousel

Is there a way to use my own personal photos along with the photos you are subscribed to in Wallpaper Carousel. I have some photos I like to look at in my lock screen but I also want to see new stuff.
If this isn't possible in Wallpaper Carousel, is there an alternative?
Thanks in advance.
