How to Make One of my Pictures into a Background?

(1/3) > >>

mlogans91:
I've been trying to set a picture as my background but it's not working. What I am doing is taking a picture, resizing it to 320 x 240 and saving it as a .bmp file. Then when I put it on my iPod I click "Set As Background" but when I do that it says "Background Failed" and it just winds up smeared across the screen. What am I doing wrong?

zajacattack:
What build are you using? Is it a custom build (I think it is)? If it is, ask about it in the unofficial build's topic.

mlogans91:
Sorry, kind of a noob to this but I think it's just the standard build. I just used the Rockbox Installer and followed the instructions. I'm running it on an iPod 5G.

zajacattack:
How did you convert the image? And, are you sure it is 320 x 240 (check under Properties)?

mlogans91:
I just saved it as a .bmp using Paint. And I just checked the file size and it's actually 318 x 239. Will that little of a difference really affect it?
