Poll: Screen Res. in Skin info...Yay?
Saturday, February 7, 2004 by uM0p apsdn | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm using 1600x1200 res. It's rare finding a skin/wallpaper that I like and fixs that resolution. There are many skins I like here, but when I download them, it for a lower res.
So I'm requesting or polling for a resolution size in the skins info. This way, I don't have to waste my time downloading and installing/viewing to see if the skin is the right res.
Note: Admin(s) viewing my dl count, shouldn't be surprise, I use this account to only post. Anon. is one way to stay safe from the pollutions of the web.

1024x768 and 1280x1024 are the standards most design to. Why? because most high res CRTs display at those default, also most LCD's also display at those res at default working up from 15 inch through 19 inch.
I will be doing some things at 1920 x 1440 and up to 2048 x 1536 in the future as I get into skinning more. My monitor happens to default to at 1920 x 1440 so I will be working at that res to begin with.
As far as your wasting time goes, that is a moot point really because unless your purchasing a premium suite, the person making the skin/theme is doing it first and foremost themselves and they probably do not run at 1600x1200.
Editing them would be a great way for you to learn how to create your own, then you could submit them at 1600 x 1200 and fill a niche

China, doesn't matter does it?
besides, if they are on the site regularly they know exactly what the response to requesting others skin to fit their display settings will be

I for one think you need to be less anonymous. at least here. And finding wallpapers that work is half the fun.

I'm not requesting others to make skins in that particular res. Just an option in the skin's infomation section of the skin's res.
Didn't mean to sound arrogant or however I've sounded, when I said "wasting time...", just meant that.... nevermind.

Yes, done trying to justify my initial post. Who am I?
Do you remember that guy back in grade school. The quiet and shy one? He sat in the back roll, as close to the corner as possible? Well, I'm not him. I was the one sitting next to him. Shhh, don't go telling everyone now.

Thats cool... there should be a field in the submit which is static with the submission once it is in the library. Maybe some check boxes so the person can check off the common resolutions which the wall/skin works with...
6 of 1, half a dozen of the other though. Because poeple will say that those downloading should do the math to figure out if a wall of skin will expand correctly without distorting..
sheesh... China
We'd drive you bonkers on a night out. My brother and friends mess with peoples heads when partying and it takes a bit to get used to us
First night my wife went out with us before we married, my brother kept looking past her as if something was going on and she kept turning around. I mean all night, later after we got in the car to leave she asked what Mike had been looking at because it had bothered and he hadn't said anything. I told her, oh, nothing... and smiled, she called me an ass and slapped my arm

If you mean that people who upload should provide info regarding the resolution of their walls and logons, that sort of thing, I do agree. Sometimes they do, sometimes they include several resolutions and note them in their comments, sometimes they don't mention anything at all and then you have to download to find out.
