Do wallpapers have to be BMP?
Friday, March 7, 2008 by RickyMaveety | Discussion: Wallpapers
I could have sworn I downloaded some that were PNG, but the upload information says (or seems to say) that you are supposed to zip up your wallpaper as a BMP.
I'm wondering because I'm under the impression that PNG is lossless and it takes up a lot less space than a BMP.
Anyone know for sure??

I put 3 BMPs in zip and use a jpg as screen shot..... I believe that if someone wanted to download one of my wallz they should get the highest quality as I see it.

I hate PNG, more often than not Windows won't apply it. I have to end up opening PS and saving it as jpg.

Which is why I guess I was surprized when I realized that Tiggs' wallpaper was in PNG format. So, I guess it's ok if I just use that??

OK ... so that's odd. Windows has no trouble applying PNGs for me.
Is there anything consistent about the world these days??
