Default home screen background image resolution

I have created a new image for a new home screen and its size is 320 x 213 with a resolution of 150. However, viewing the image normally has the proper blending of gradients, but when using that same image for the background the gradients don't blend at all. Are there recommendations on resolution. In looking at the other out of box images with gradients, their resolution is less but display fine. Has anyone seen this?

Thanks,
Ryan

just an idea (if you don't i might tomorrow).. put that screen on the Q without anything, n plug-ins.. nothing but the softkeys and see how that looks.. it could be a optical illusion because of the text ?

It definitely isn't an optical illusion.

BTW, how do I get the clock in the iconbar?

My guess would be that you're forgetting that the pixel depth of the Q is only 16-bits, not 24-bits like the PC.

Also, the screen's dot pitch may be 131 dpi, not 150 (based on things I've seen in the registry).

I don't know whether the latter will affect gradients, but the former probably will.
