Wallpaper size limit? How do I...

Post by Tab2_Triggerhappy » Thu Aug 06, 2020 9:03 am

Hello all :)

I'm just starting with LL and I tried to make a desktop with a 360 degree panorama image as wallpaper.
Calculated from my device resolution I made 14 "screens" and locked to only horizontal scrolling.
I checked the X-axle infinity scroll (can't remember exact wording atm).
Wallpaper is 14 screens wide and 1 screen high.
Tried size 0 (default) and exact image size 8400x1024, but only a short bit of the image is used as wallpaper...
It scrolls like 3-4 screens and then stops. Image does not scroll as far as the screens though.

Is this possible to accomplish?
Or should I cut image into 14 pieces and use separate wallpaper for every screen?

Seems to be a very cool launcher anyhow! :)

And who came up with the idea that the week starts on sunday ???

Sounds like a cool idea, if it is possible I think you would need a 14 page setup and every page would need at least 1 item. none of them should be blank/empty

About the Sunday thing I've seen that before quite a few times, mostly in calendar apps and I always thought it was weird.

Hi and thanks,
I think it could be cool.

Yes, I made 14 pages and put some text on all of them, but one problem is that the page scrolls a longer distance than
the wallpaper, next is that wallpaper stops.
I think one solution could be the idea to have 14 separate pieces of the image.
Scrollable or not, it will probably not be as smooth as I would like.

Well, this is put on ice for a while. I'm trying to figure this launcher out :D

It's probably just an Android limitation probably to do with images using a lot of memory, holla back if you figure it out though. Maybe try knocking it down to half that amount.
