Default remove borders from wallpaper

I searched for "wallpaper" "remove borders" "use as homescreen" but have yet to find anything.

I'd like to have the entire image appear as my wallpaper for my mobile. The borders prevent that from happening. Can anyone please suggest how to remove these borders. Thank you.

I go under pictures, click on a picture, click menu, then click 'use as home screen, then it says "select the display area" and a dark gray border appears so i can only have part of the picture.

just edit the xml file of the homescreen in the \application data\home
folder and change the jpg image name to the one that you want

I'm sorry. I didn't quite get that. I'm still new at this so I'm not sure what you just wrote means. A little slower please.

on your Q open up
\application data\home
then copy from that folder to your PC the xml file associated with the homescreen
then open that .xml file on your PC and edit it with notepad
at the top of the code you will see something like background=xxx.jpg
where it says xxx.jpg (xxx meaning the file name of the image) change that to the file name of your picture you want
copy the file back to the Q in the \application data\home folder along with the image you just coded in to the xml and reload the homescreen

I appreciate you trying to help Scott but I don't think this is the solution, I just tried this but it doesn't seem to be helping. Thank you for your thoughts.

did you reload the homescreen?
to do that you have to load another screen wait for it to show up then go back and load another one

I was helped out by Scott but his suggestion to edit the xml file didn't seem to help. Can anyone recommend another means of doing this?
