Hi,
The Xperia screen resolution is 800x480. Yet I remember reading somewhere that the panel thumbnail was 400 something by 200 something pixels.
So if I am developing icons for a panel do I go with the 800x480 resolution or the 400 by something?
Can someone please let me know what dimensions need to be used for portrait as well as landscape mode.
Thanks!
You will need:
400 x 180 Landscape pic
200 x 120 Landscape pic
240 x 350 Portrait pic
120 x 175 Portrait pic
Can someone explain the difference...as to why the resolution is 800x480 but the panel size is 400x180?
So any icons I design, I need to make sure they fit within 400x180 for the landscape mode?

I can only guess that they are smaller because they only work as a preview and probably loads faster.
But if that is the case then it is still debatable as to what size the icons needs to be as that is the actual panel graphics not thumbnails.
I was going thru the documentation and they mention something about double pixeling. And say something like make the icons the right size but state the width and height as half. I'll see if I can find where I read that bit so I can copy/paste the exact thing.
So right now I'm just as confused.
I try every setting and the view looks as though I am looking at a large page shrunk down. My g1 would show the font with a normal size and I wouldn't need to zoom every time
Whenever i am applying a wallpaper from the wallpaper gallery (pre loaded ones) it is digital clear.
However any wallpaper i apply from the gallery seems to be slightly zoomed in.
I have tried this resolution: 1200x1024. It gives me the crop option, i select the entire image and apply it as a wall.
Can anyone help as to what is the issue, I cannot make head or tails of it, since its my first android device.
You're on the right track, it needs to be roughly twice the size of the horizontal resolution (viewed from portrait), same with all Android wallpapers
So in the case of the Tab, 1200x1024 images should work best. If your vertical resolution is larger than 1024, it may be changing the aspect ratio of the image a bit, which would make it appear zoomed.
So, with my Fascinate, whenever I try to place a wallpaper, it brings up the cropping tool. But the cropping tool is a square. I turned off wallpaper scrolling, so cropping my screen size by eye using the square is difficult. Is there a tool that let's me crop to native 480x800 or whatever the Fascinate is without using the square?

If you get the Wallpaper Set and Save app, it should fix your issue. Best wallpaper app I've found.
Well... I kinda want something that let's me crop in a rectangular format.
If you're finding the image online, long-press it and select "Set as wallpaper". No cropping necessary
If I want something offcenter, though... I need rectangular crop.
I always crop my wallpapers on my computer first. I highly recommend the GIMP (google it). The crop tool will allow you to crop any image to the exact dimensions you specify.

+1. Gimp is great.
I use GIMP. What's the dimensions of the Fascinate?

I crop to 480 x 800 I think...

That's if you have the moving wallpaper thing enabled. My whole issue is because I don't. :/
No, the full wallpaper is 960x800. A single screen is 480x800. Although, using a picture of that size still opens the crop tool. You'll need to find an alternate way to set the wallpaper other than long-pressing the home screen.
Edit: I just modified an existing pic I had that was 480x800 and set it in the middle of a 960x800 layer. Choosing it through the normal method and cropping it to the entire pic, gave me a full screen wallpaper in portrait mode. When it flips to landscape, you see an extra 160 pixels on each side, but if you get creative, you can make that look good as well.
Is there an app that I can crop to 480x800 and use WSS to set it, no problem?
There are couple of photo editing apps that crop, PicSay and Photoshop Mobile come to mind. I tried setting a 480x800 pic with WSS, but it expanded it to cover landscape mode and it looked terrible.
I guess you could try a 800x800 wallpaper. That would cover both modes. With movable wallpaper turned off, it would show the middle 480 pixels width-wise and the full 800 length in portrait. In landscape, the full 800 width will show along with the top 480 pixels.
Ah. I don't use landscape, either.
Damn, wish this was easier. They should just make the crop tool a friggin' rectangle. -.-
When I draw, no matter what the pen size, the rendering seems to be a bit fuzzy/blurry. Like while I'm writing (pen is on the screen), the trail that my pen leaves behind looks fine (very smooth and vector-ish) but as soon as I let go, what I've written renders into this slightly blurry thing and it's kind of driving me nuts. I'm at 100% zoom with pressure sensitivity enabled, blue/black pen on a white background.
Any ideas?
@abmicyau: I guess you have choose a rather small width and height of your notebook pages. When you click on the `?´ aside the parameters when creating a new notebook, LectureNotes will give recommendations. For instance, a width of 1280 and a height of 1811 (yielding an A4 aspect ratio) is a good choice.

That is the default setting - it's what I have for mine. The only way i can really fix it is if I set the width to be a bit higher, then increase the default magnification.
