Default Moto Q9h Global wallpaper

Ok... I'm going crazy here. I really want to try using some of my pictures as wallpaper and I can't seem to get the size right for it to show properly on my screen without getting cut off by the status bar and icon bar.

Can somebody help me out here? What are the dimensions supposed to be?

I have the Moto Q9h Global (WM6 if that makes a difference).

Thanks!
MaRiA

P.S.
I attached 2 pictures if anyone wants to try resizing them for me

With this image:



you would get this:

Nothing is taken from the image by the icon bar or the status bar



And i love that image for a homescreen, it could also be done by making the icon bar transparent, but not using the image i posted, i would have to lose the black bar on top or use Der Alta's image

I would love this as a homescreen wallpaper! So I tried to save it to my desktop and it looks like the dimensions are 340x252, am I correct?

I'm very new to XML editing (actually don't know hardly anything) so I bookmarked some "tutorial" sites to try to learn up on it. I want a homescreen like the "Smartphone" homescreen on my Q9H global but with this Angelina Jolie wallpaper. Only that I want the status & icon bar colors to match (color theme) with my wallpaper and then the text color I haven't figured it out yet and the "highlight" color as well (right now it's orange when I move left to right to select an app).

320x213 is the size of the image you need
