Endless Paradigm

By now, I'm sure many of you have run across Undertaxxx's and Darkstone's latest theme, the Large Original icons:



I downloaded the pack, and included are a couple of wallpapers.  I like the black and white one, the one with the curved lines at the bottom, but I like having the waves on my psp, so I resized the background into  a 420 x 238 background and flashed it, but wound up losing a few icons to white squares.  Same thing happened when I sized it to 300 x 170, the old wallpaper standby.  Are the icons just too big to allow this?  Anyone have an idea on getting this to work?

I tend to get the wallpaper smaller.  In fact, for me, I have never got anything larger than 256x145 to work without white icons... >_>

Alot of the newer themes have never worked for me e.g glass i don't get the white squares i just crash/freeze  in hard boot meh.

Yeah, 256 does seem to be the magic number, but it starts to get too distorted.  Here's what I don't get, the background is actually smaller in size than the one you're supposed to be using, 43kb as opposed to 72.  Why does that make a difference?  Or is it the actual pixel size that's doing it?

PSP loads the background into memory, not necessarily the entire file (or it could load 12 backgrounds into memory).
Actually 256×145×3 = 108.75KB so it's larger.

Basically, yeah pixel count.
