Nook Tablet Wallpaper Dimensions Are...

---

I played around with this in Photoshop for several hours the day I got my Nook Tablet. I found that the following dimensions will size your wallpaper images perfectly:

840 px wide x 1024 px tall

It's easy to test. Try sizing your wallpaper to these exact dimensions and copy them to your device. Then go to the *stock* Nook home screen. Press and hold to bring up the Change Wallpaper option. Navigate to your newly sized wallpaper image and select it. If it's like mine you won't even be given an option to size/crop. Like the stock wallpapers, it will only give you the option to Save or Discard because it's already sized correctly.

When using other dimensions I was always given the option to crop.

Hope this helps someone.

Google Image search has a nice feature that can limit results to a specific size, I find this useful for finding odd sized wallpapers.

I've found that using Zedge from the market and applying the wallpaper from Zedge itself sizes them perfectly as well.

I think the dimensions are probably more useful to people resizing their own photos to use as wallpaper. You can crop them to the exact size in Photoshop before sending them to your tablet.

If you prefer to use the Nook in landscape what would be the suggested wallpaper size?

1264 x 600?

I haven't played with landscape much. The dimensions I listed above take into account the default Nook Tablet home screen with the thick "daily bar" on the bottom, "currently reading" status on the top, and wallpaper scrolling between 3 home screens.

Since the device doesn't support a landscape home screen by default the wallpaper size will likely depend on the launcher you use, whether or not you have the status bar displayed and how many home screens you have if you set the behavior to scroll the wallpaper with the home screens.

Let us know what you find out.

I made several wallpapers at this resolution but, even after selecting the whole image with the crop tool, it still zoomed in on it. Has any one else experienced this?

Oh, and I'm currently using GoLauncher. I don't know if the wallpaper displays properly under the Nook Stock screen

I've got Zedge downloaded but I can't seem to select my own pics to use as wallpaper. How were you able to do it?

I'm having this exact issue. Picture shows up perfectly on my lock screen, and if I go into the nook home screen from there it shows fine, but when I go into Go Launcher it zooms in again and stays that way until I reset it in the nook home.

Very annoying as it screws up the definition of my wallpaper...

I have been able to get mostly non-blurry wallpapers since I started using QuickPic to apply them. It's a great app, much better than the stock gallery app, so I'd recommend getting it in any case. And it shows up in the market without having to sideload.

For images I have just been getting ones from InterfaceLIFT in 1280x1024 resolution to make sure I have enough pixels in all directions and it works fine.
