[NEW] ThrottleLock Diamond/Pro Theme

Actually I've got another question for you guys. I've been messing around with making my own skins. According to this thread the size of the background is 320x320 so I'm messing around and making stuff but when I get it to work my background doesnt seem to be fully viewed. It looks too big...any perfect dimensions (HTC Touch Pro)?

well i appreciate you making me feel dumb thanks tho.

that doesnt make sense at all tho now that i think about it because my image being 320x320 is already too big how am i going to fit a 480x640 on there?

how did i make you feel dumb... if you didnt know i was joking loosen up bro i do a lot of that there and anyone here can back me up and tell you i was joking and not trying to be mean so lets not be sensative about every little thing..... it does make since just do it and i guarntee that it will work...... think about the number of pixels.... the more pixels you have the more you need to fill the space making it a smaller image.... the less you have the larger it will look.

haha dashy NEVER jokes around hes ALWAYS serious... jk... lightin up a bit man, but in this case you are right about the 320 x 320 merc. The reason for this is that for some reason throttlelock takes a 320 x 320 image but it doesnt center it, so only part of the image shows. It's very weird how it works, but open my image in photoshop or paint, i had to move it more to the left side of the image in order to make it look like its centered when in throttlelock. I think the reason they use 320 x 320 is because the actual background only takes up a certain section of the screen, the top clock part has its own background.
 
What throttle lock does is takes the QVGA images and stretched them to fit a VGA device. So if you use the 240x320 then it will stretch out perfect, and like venum said, if you use 480x640 it will be all messed up and just a portion of the backround. I'm making a video tutorial on making throttle lock themes today, so keep a look out for it:)

the only reason you make me feel dumb is because you decided my numbers were wrong enough for you to "laugh your ass off" when i actually got the numbers from the diamond skin. its not a big deal tho i appreciate you trying to help.

sounds good i'll definitely take a look at your video.

so when you say 240x320 gets "stretched out" is it most likely going to lose some focus aka make it a little bit blurry?

Merc this is your last warning, do not reply to this thread again unless it pertains to throttlelock. If we get one more response from you other than that, we will be forced to temp ban you. DO NOT DISRESPECT ADMIN, i wouldn't be surprised if one of the other admins temelboriyorkerans you right now just for sayin dash is immature. Ill give you another chance though. Try to be smart about what you say.
