Creating wallpapers that fit... on the Nokia N95


You want a wallpaper for your beloved mobile phone... (I mean my beloved mobile phone - the Nokia N95 :) ) you click a couple of buttons, upload a couple of pictures into your phone, hit the "set as wallpaper" button and voila - SPLAT!

The ugliest, stretched out, out of proportion wallpaper in the world!

Why? It all boils down to one thing... size...

That's exactly what I was faced with and here's how it was 'fixed'.

All you really need is to create a picture that's got the dimensions 240px wide x 235px height and that's literally all you need. It's no big secret really.
  1. So crank up your favourite picture editing software such as:

    Adobe Photoshop (if you're feeling rich)
    Picasa by Google (if you're a newbie and you don't feel like spending $$$)
    If you'd like something more challenging try Paint.NET (the free advanced Photo Editing application for Windows)

  2. Load up your image

  3. Click a couple of buttons and resize the image accordingly

  4. Upload to your N95 and voila!

  5. It's DONE!
