How to Create loopable wallpapers for Nokia N900
Posted on March 9th, 2010 by admin
The Nokia N900 lets you have 4 wallpapers in the panoramic desktop. I’ll show you how to create a set of wallpapers that are seamlessly connected. I’ll also show you what file you need to group the images together.
In summary:
Get an equirectangular photo
Crop it to 3200 x 480
Slice it into 4 images of 800×480 images
Create a .desktop file to group the images
Transfer the 5 files to N900/images folder

hope this helps. after making the text file in notepad, DO NOT save it as a text file. In the Save As type, select All Files. it will save with the .desktop extension.

You don’t need to use this method…
Just split any picture into 4 pieces, transfer those to your phone and then put those on by to each wallpaper (in the right order ofcourse) you don’t need to do anything for the size of the images!

In quella cartella devi creare un text file come nell’esempio con i nomi delle foto.
Poi salva quel file come .titolochevuoi.desktop
