How to Set an Image as Wallpaper?

Wallpaper is the background image displayed on the idle screen. On most Series 60 devices, the wallpaper occupies only the central part of the screen. On most Series 40 devices, the wallpaper fills the entire screen.

You can set any image in your phone's Gallery as wallpaper. On most new Nokia phones, you can simply open the image in the Gallery and select the "Set as wallpaper" item from the Options menu. If you have an older Series 60 phone (e.g., a Nokia 3650), you should go to Settings and customize the wallpaper for the standby mode. On a Series 40 device, you can also use the Settings Display Settings Wallpaper menu item to set your wallpaper. The phone automatically resizes or crops the image as needed to fit the wallpaper area on the screen.

When you set new wallpaper, the old wallpaper is discarded without warning. If you want to revert to the old wallpaper, you need to keep a copy of it in the Gallery. I recommend that you create a "wallpaper" folder in your Gallery so that you can switch back and forth between wallpapers whenever you want.

The Extended Profiles Pro program from Psiloc supports associating wallpapers with profiles on Series 60 devices. This way, when you change the profile, you change not only how the phone sounds but also how it looks. When you use Extended Profiles Pro together with the miniGPS program, you can switch wallpapers based on your current location.
