Hast du schon mal gesehen udn dann aufgehört? ich glaube da muss man sich einfach drauf einlassen.

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Just to clarify my answer, I have two PCs, hence two sizes.

I also have a laptop which is 1024x768, but you couldn't select two options...

[elli.livejournal.com]

*g* Do you find wallpapers for those sizes?

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever gotten one for 1680x1050 - the Atlantean stargate one I have at the moment was a modification I did myself of a much bigger 4:3 ratio one from the SciFiWorld website.

1440x900 - I have found some I like on the internet, but from a fanart perspective, no. I almost never see ones posted on LJ that are in any form of widescreen, let alone this size.

Before I had the 1440x900 monitor for this PC, I had a 1280x1024 panel, and while I managed to find some fantastic walls in that size, again it was a size lacking in fannish wallpaper.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Yeah...it's because people still think wallpaper have top be 800x600px. Which nowadays is just not the case!!!!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_excentric_/]

old computer: 800x600
lap top: 1280x800

[elli.livejournal.com]

800x600? wow!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_excentric_/]

Yeah I'm weird XD
It's just that I like how the icons and everything is bigger in that resolution. Everything looks so tiny otherwise! It's funny to switch from my laptop to old computer sometimes. I should stop doing that because it's hurting & confusing my eyes.

[elli.livejournal.com]

oh... well.. I know from experience you get used to it... but I do understand ;)

Someone on my flist commented that Hewlettt's site was down a few days ago. I haven't actually visited it and generally don't unless I know he's updated (ie via twitter or other people commenting). Hmm, maybe he got overwhelmed by birthday wishes??? Too many people trying to log on at one time? Or maybe he's still having those Joomla problems he keeps talking about...

What's the resolution on your screen? I feel like mine is ancient... as I'm sure no one has a 17" screen anymore... plus they don't sell them these days! Thing is, my screen works perfectly fine but if I had the money, I'd love to get a bigger one since I watch tv (via a tv tuner) on it these days too.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Well.. I was curious about the last news entry he had on twiter and clicked on the link. I'm totally out of the loop because I've been so busy!

My resolution is 1280x1024. and yeah... I do not have a TV, so that is what I use.

hey, wir müssen uns unbedingt ein we für kaffee ausgucken. :)

*knuddel*

[elli.livejournal.com]

Ja.... ich hab mir den 4ten jetzt aufgeschreiben... is die frage ob da cafes aufhaben... was meinst du ;)

[machinistm.livejournal.com]

Making wallpapers now for public use feels... awkward :/ How best to choose one for widescreens??

[elli.livejournal.com]

Exactly!!!! There are so many resolutions at this point, I hardly ever know what to make it for.

[akacat]

As the user of a 1280x800, I just pick the wallpaper that's smaller than my screen (usually 1024x768) and center it. If it's abstract or happens to be a widescreen aspect ratio, sometimes I'll stretch it to fit.

[elli.livejournal.com]

But doesn't that sometimes ruin the quality?

[akacat]

Stretching it can, definately. If it does, I just set it centered with a coordinating background color.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Thanks ;)

1152x864 on my old desktop computer, it's the biggest the system can cope with ;)

1280x800 on my laptop

[elli.livejournal.com]

There are so much ore than I thought there would be!!!!

[half-lit-world.livejournal.com]

i know, i know...

for my desktop computer, i usually go for 1280x1024 and scale it down, works most of the time.

i've found it really hard to find wallpapers for my laptop at first, though 1280x800 is more common now than it used to be. right now I use a wallpaper that's actually 1280x1024 and cut the bottom off :o

[elli.livejournal.com]

There are too many models and such. *g* and I hpe what I've done now is usable for people.

[kuwdora.livejournal.com]

On my Macbook I use 1280x1024 but on my 17" iMac I use 1400x990.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon!!!!
