When browsing pictures on the T5, the default mode is to have the
widgets still on-screen and a thin white border around the picture. The
device scales the image so that it fills the remaining area, extending
beyond the screen in one dimension if necessary.
My questions is this: What is the exact pixel size of the remaining
picture area? For instance, the screen is 320x480, and I guess the
widget area is about 28 pixels high, the white border looks like 2
pixels at the top and four elsewhere, so that would mean that 312x446
is the optimal size for displaying pictures in this manner. However, I
am not sure if 2 of the pixels of the white border are actual usable
pixels or not, since the slideshow doesn't use them either, and
sometimes that border is not present (I looked at another picutre, and
I think the pic that I used for the original metrics does not actually
fill the screen width) so that would mean that 320x462 is best,
assuming that the status bar is 28 pixels.
Does anyone have the correct numbers?

Here I am, answering my own question. I downloaded a screen capture
program and did the measurements, and the status bar at the bottom
takes up 32 pixels including the white gap between it and the picture,
so the optimal picture size is 320 x 448.

There also is the Slideshow mode on the T5 that actually displays a
picture fullscreen without borders
