I made this wallpaper for my 1600x1200 desktop and I find it's pretty handy to have the size reference right there all the time. Especially useful when designing web pages where you need to remember that even people at 640x480 resolution surf the web.

nice idea...

But for anyone who wants to use this... make sure ya are running ya desktop @ 1600x1200 or bigger with it set as centred, NOT streched...

Kinda defeats the purpose as soon as any streching is on it!

Edit: Oh, for anyone wondering why i only gave it an 8... As mensioned above, needs to be used on 1600x1200 desktops, so people who can't run that high a res can't use it in its current form... Would be more universal if the different sizes were centred in the picture... That way if your running 1024x768, ya just set the wallpaper to centred (NOT stretched) and it'll work fine...

Well, if anyone asked, I'd be happy to make versions for smaller desktops.

As far as stretching the wallpaper, that's pretty much connom knowledge isn't it? But yeah, you're right, other people not having common sense deserves to reflect poorly on my rating. Excuse me while I go change the rating I gave your car to a 1.

Well I think his comment does directly reflect your work. It would be more useful if it wasn't tied to one resolution. So, whether you like it or not, at least he's honest.

And, how childish of you to run off and change your rating for him being honest.

lol, all i was saying is if the resolutions had of been scaled down in the centre of the image instead of the corners, the image would have then been a universal image (up to 1600x1200 res obviously), hence anybody could have used this exact image without needing to make up a new image for each resolution.

lol ya can change ya rating of my car if ya want

Same question darrelld asked. I run mine at that because my monitor doesn't support 1600x1200.

There's out, always embroiled in controversy... (ducks)

lol

That's one reason I left Web Design. Too Many people running Netscape 3 and 640x480. Just when you get some code worked out you find it doesn't work in Netscape 3 and you have to re-write it to be more browser compatible. Argh.
