Judeau (EatTheRich)I'm pre-cropping some wallpaper/ backgrounds for my PocketPCs with VGA screens.I cropped them at 480x640 but then realized that the Start bar and bottom bar overlay and block the full image. Irritating...I want to pre-crop them. 480 is obviously correct for X and I'm assuming Y will probably be a resolution of less than 600ish?I'm gonna have to toy around and see if I can nail the exact resolution of the viewing area.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/PocketPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PocketPC</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/WindowsMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WindowsMobile</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PDA</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a>

Judeau (EatTheRich)Since <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Bluetooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bluetooth</a> doesn't require you to install drivers, would a current Bluetooth <a href="https://mas.to/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#keyboard</a> work with an old <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PocketPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PocketPC</a> or <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Palm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Palm</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PDA</a>?I know that they had Bluetooth keyboards made for some of them back in the day but I am not familiar with the backwards compatibility of the Bluetooth standard.Unfortunately, I do not currently have a Bluetooth keyboard to test.
