1920x1200 logons?
Monday, May 9, 2005 by chaze88 | Discussion: OS Customization
Just wondering if there are any 1920x1200 logons out there. I've search and haven't had any luck. Most of the good ones won't work on my screen. Those that do stretch... well... looks stretched.
Thanks all... nice work out there.

blowing up any images that are even at 1600x1200 arent gonna look good.. esp. at 1920x1200, as its a widescreen res (not 4:3 like 1024x768, 1280x960, etc).
id do custom reses, cept i cant do above 1280x1024, let alone widescreen (aah.. if only for a widescreen notebook)
only thing i can think of is having to severely mod the logons so that theres black/solid colour around the edges, and center the whole logon.. :/

It depends on the image. I have been able to edit some wallpapers to fit by photoshopping the edges... but if it's not a solid color, you can tell (I'm still a novice at ps).
I haven't messed with the editors yet. Are there any tutorials out there? I'm a newb to all of this stuff. Thanks all.

How does it look when you resize it? I've resized one just now using PSP (bicubic resample) and Irfanview (Lanczos filter)- didn't seem too too bad, they didn't come out perfect (new at this also) & keeping the aspect ratio brought it to 1920x1440 [you'd have to crop slightly], but I'm looking at it at 1024x768 res.

Irfanviw seemed to do a better job - or maybe it's just easier to use.
You can try different resample filter and set DPI

its not really the colour, its more angles/edges/etc; they'll staircase/look blocky, not to mention that bringing it into widescreen would make things look fat..

Have you tried Irfanview? It's free.
It seems to have much less of the blocky effect when increasing the DPI for the resample.
then again my nonitor is 15"/1024x768/ and gets really cranky if it's not set to 96 dpi, so the effect may show less for me than you.

Have you tried edit mode and then resample/resize with the editor of your choice?
