High res backround

[jjairal]

yeah thats exactly what im talking about. and in mystery's rom you can put a backround pic to the drop down start menu, and that one stays at the sharp resolution. but the wallpaper is still blurry

I was actually going to make an identical thread but you beat me. and to everyone who has responded (except ydoyoucare, who knows what jjairal is talking about), he is not talking about cropping or template issues or the original picture resolution. TF3D either lowers the background res slightly or uses something like a grain filter. open a wallpaper in album or even use it in S2U2 and immediately switch to touch flo (to compare better) and you will notice that, exactly as he says, the background is a little blurry. My guess is that it was a design choice to make any writing and objects in touch flo stand out better, but when someone such as myself bases the layout on the wallpaper and uses transparent everything, it can be a bit annoying.

I posted about this a while back:

It was bugging me, too.

Hope that helps!

Once again, your post is talking about the image being sketched because of using touch flo HD. As far as I am aware, he is not using touch flo HD and his problem is not the image's native resolution.

Granted the OP did not initially say he was using TF3D HD, however he agreed that the symptoms were the same as ydoucare, who *did* say he was using HD.

I see what you mean. I had been so focused on the proportions being incorrect, that I did not notice that, even though the images edges are correctly lined up with the edges of the screen on the sides, the image is still a bit blurry. However, it is less blurry and distorted than if it were sized at 480x640. I'll keep investigating....

Edit: BTW, to go back to something Jordan88 said, it does seem as though TF3D is doing something to the image. I can confirm there is a copy being made because I recently moved all my wallpapers around and happened to reboot shortly after. I wondered if the wallpaper I had chosen would go away, since the original was no longer in the same location, but it did not, which means that TF3D is copying it.

Its almost like when u add pics to your phone contacts thro the edit contacts screen it lowers the res, but if u add your contacts through the album viewer it stays nice and sharp.
