How do you stretch wallpaper so it doesn't tile? I've got 480x640 jpg's and they tile when I set them as wallpaper in both landscape and portrait. I have an sl6000. I'm certain there must be an easy and obvious way to do this and think I've done it in the past, but can't figure this out right now.

I have also found that if I use the built-in "Appearance" utility within the default sharp rom to change to a 640 X 640 wallpaper and select that wallpaper while in landscape mode, it will work OK. Then you can shift back and forth between landscape and portrait and wallpaper will display correctly either way.
The only "gotcha" seems to be that if you reboot the Z, then you have to re-select the wallpaper while in landscape mode again. |

I tried the Appearance app with 600x600 jpgs in landscap mode and portrait but it appears as a small image with a big black border. I,ve tried plasterer and wallpaper switcher with center and scale selected and it apppears to fill the screen but repeats the image as I scroll down the screen. I'm giving up for now.
