that was confusing.
did you try a 640x640 image?

Sorry if it was confusing. That's actually why I made the template. The template makes it crystal clear what's going on.
As for the 640x640 option, I found that when I loaded a 640x640 image Opie scaled the image to fit the display height and tiled off to the right.
I toyed around with a few different sizes, but I never really figured out what the rule is. Under what circumstances does Opie scale the image? I don't know, so I came up with this.
There may also be a better, more optimal size that requires less effort than this. This trick just exploits an oddity in Opie to some advantage, however dubious.
If someone's got a better way that really works I'd love to hear it.
This really works, look:
This image appears to be seamless, and looks slightly different in landscape and portrait even though it's tiling and hiding portions of the image.
