here are some i have sized and used

This is another good sticky

Time to put my new Photoshop CS2 to good use! Any requests for background images?

due to the texture. I will be on CS2 some more myself.

Here are a few for mac fans

I just did a solid black .jpeg for mine and the icons look great. I did a few more dark red and dark blue to change when I wish.

Few more

I like the dark ones too- others like variety so I'll post a few and see if they like 'em or not.

Have you seen my "Jack on Black"?

perhaps i'm dense, but i can't figure out how to use these. no data plan - can they be loaded by BB Desktop via USB?

One easy way, assuming you at least have email capability, is to click the thumbnail, save the image to your PC, then attach it to an email you send to yourself (on the BB account or a re-directed one). Open the email on BB, open & retrieve the attachment, & save it. Then, go to the pictures application, select it, and make it the background image.

Jack On Black is by far the best...thanks man

i like the mac ones they have always been my fav from day one OS X was released. So if i want to make my own images all i have to do is resize them down to my BB screen size ?

Yup- 320 x 240 and keep them less than 50K with JPEG compression to not waste space.

These are from Dege Peak in Mt Rainier National Park. They were taken at sunrise in August looking to the northwest. The dark border just covers the bottom row of icons in the Cingular theme.

I just downloaded Jack on Black and have it as my background. Simply beautiful. Really makes the icons stand out. Thanks Megabit

Here is my contribution. Sandy Hook Sunset was taken on January 1st, 2005 at 4:17 PM as the sun was setting over Sandy Hook, NJ. As an after thought here are two more, Old4039 Is an old Morris County Steam Engine, and the last was taken at Waterloo Village in NJ also. Some of my favorites, feel free to use them if you like them.

One last one, I promise, hahaha, Paterson Falls.

Here's another background image. Show the world what's inside your 8700.

Since it's not 320 x240 is it filling the screen on the home page?

Love these, but it seems as though there is a small bit of white on each side on my 8700. Is the size correct? With this Tiger installed on the Cingular theme it really has a Mac look to it, which I am partial to since Macs are all I use...

They are exactly the right size and I just double-checked on my unit and there is no white on the edges. Sounds like you may have bonus pixels???

Do any others do that?

No, only those. Maybe I'll delete and re-download.
