Setting wallpaper from Album Slideshow

Have you tried setting the wallpaper through the Album? I'm fond of using the slideshow in viewing pictures because pictures look better in slideshow view, right?
Now, i want it to be set as wallpaper from the slideshow mode, is that possible? it just looks good in slideshow mode, and i want the wallpaper to look just as how it is displayed in slideshow mode. Is it possible?

sounds like the slideshow thingy have a better resizing algotitme then just using today picture have
i sugest that you take the picture to your pc and work on it there with resizing and such and take it back to the xda and use it as "wallpapir"
the slideshow on the device cant do anything "magic" which programs on a pc cant do much better

Thanks rudegar,
Whats the image size of XDA wallpaper/screen (pixels/inch)? So lets say I already have edited it on my PC and uploaded back to XDA. how will I set it as wallpaper? the last time I used the Today option, it made my picture translucent, why is that? is there any feature there where we could stretch the wallpaper to fit the screen?

there is some registry setting which remove the translucent thing
i dont recall it though try search the forum
i would try some of the today theme creator programs they make it all pretty easy

other ways to change home wallpaper?

Hi all,
I was thinking how would be nice if someone could add a menu option for viewing pictures - use as touchflo3D background ( or maybe some picture viewer app which can do this ). Because always when you want to change the background you must slide across the screen to settings tab, select the wallpaper option, click on no ( no default wallpaper ), choose the folder and finally found a picture what you want in that so small thumbnails, click on it and go to the home tab to see how it looks like. But specially in the women pictures you find out (after this ridiculously long procedure) that she has a clock across the face xD.
Correct me if I am wrong. The app with the thumbnails is htc album right? Why there is no possibility to see the image in fullscreen before you select it as wallpaper (as it is in htc album tab) ???
this is so annoying for me, what do you think?

How to add Full Portrait picture as wallpaper

I want to place a picture I took in portrait as my background. I turned off scrolling desktop assuming this would allow me to not have to crop the photo to a landscape picture, but it still askes me to crop it everytime. I thought maybe it was Go Launcher, but it has the same menu in all launcher so it is part of CM7/Android2.3.
Does anyone know how to add a full (top to bottom) picture as the background without having to crop? Thanks in advance!

Ok so I guess I should try google before I ask...so allow me to do the honors.
