How to Change the Wallpaper on a Nook Color

The Nook Color eReader is an Android powered eReader
released by Barnes and Noble. The device blurs the line
between an eReader and a tablet and offers many levels of
customization. One such level is the ability to change the
wallpaper on the home screen. The following article
describes how to change the wallpaper.

!! Steps !!

!! Method 1 !!

Tap and hold down your finger on the Nook home screen. This will
reveal a dialog allowing for the changing of the wallpaper as well
as the cleaning of the home screen [1].

Tap on the option that reads "Change Wallpaper". This will bring up
a dialog allowing you to choose your new wallpaper.

* Tap on the wallpaper that you wish to set as the home screen
wallpaper. Take note of the tab labeled "Photo Gallery [2]", as
this contains more photos that may be set as the wallpaper.

If necessary, re-size the picture. This may not be necessary for
the photos under the "Wallpaper" tab as they are optimized for the
screen size. Take note of your ability to pinch and stretch your
fingers apart to re-size the frame that represents your screen.

* Allow the wallpaper to finish loading and return to the home
screen.

!! Method 2 !!

Tap the upward-facing white arrow on the bottom of the screen. This
will reveal the "Quick Launch Bar". Tap "Settings" on the bar.

Tap "Home" under the "App Settings" heading. This will open a screen
that allows you to change the wallpaper or clear the keep reading
list.

Tap "Change wallpaper". This will reveal a dialog identical to the
one described in Method 1. Tap on the wallpaper that you wish to
set as the home screen wallpaper. Again, take note of your ability
to navigate the "Photo Gallery" tab for available wallpapers.

* If prompted, re-size the wallpaper [3] by manipulating the frame
representing your home screen. Again, take note of your ability to
pinch and stretch your fingers to re-size the frame as described
in Method 1.

* Allow the wallpaper to load and return to your home screen.

!! Tips !!

* You can use your own wallpapers by plugging your Nook into a
computer and adding the pictures to your Pictures folder.
