Does anyone here make wallpapers in for widescreen resolutions? I was shocked to see that minitokyo doesn't have that many.

Probably because not that many use widescreen monitors and those that do obviously don't wall ^^ .

You'd be surprised at the number of people that do have widescreen monitors now.

I don't know anyone who does. We're all poor ya see ;)

you need to have like 3000$ put into computer monitors >_>

And how old is your computer? (sorry low blow). But seriously, My PowerBook does have this problem too. With the non-widescreen resolutions being displayed, well, strangely. It crops it just in the wrong spot usually, (defaulting... no, that's the only choice, Centered or center tile-ing).

I don't think MT supports uploads of versions of the same wallpaper, so I think you're at the mercy of the wallers to post the widescreen ones on their site...

Actually I have encountered 1 or 2 widescreen wallpapers before... but there's no real way to search for them exclusively (yet).

?$3000 for a screen? You must be looking at the very high end ones. I mean, laptops even are coming wide screen for under $2500.

Ah, I was thinking more on the lines of desktops. Now that you mention it, many laptops do have widescreens these days. But most people have desktops and therefore the normal size ratio.
I also suspect that most people create wallpapers using desktop computers for ease of use so they're generally not widescreen.

What kind of resolution would a widescreen desktop have?

I've never encountered one before but it sounds interesting...wide screen tv's...wide screen monitors..

We started accepting widescreen wallpapers a few months ago; a list of resolutions and such can be found in the original announcement thread, http://forum.minitokyo.net/showthread/12536/

No way! I'm going to get right to it then. However, I noticed that the list doesnt include 1680x1050, which is my computer's new setting. Any way that it can be added?

Wide-screen is the in thing for computers. When I got my new comp, all of them had widescreens. Then again, this is Japan. My mom got a laptop and hers was widescree too, and she got that one in the US. Most laptops are widescreen now.

I think widescreen wallies cant fit into the resolution here, can they ?

Someone just pointed out the new resolutions that were added. At one time you could not add widescreen diamentions, but perhaps you can.

It's true, widescreen monitors are growing in popularity but, like HDTV it'll be a while before they're the standard.

Wide screen is the in thing? Perhaps, but I am not one who goes with the trends, but anyways the vast majority of people are still using the old monitors and aspect ratios so it would see to be the best to make it normal ratio. If my duel screens could support wide backgrounds then i would be more inclinded to make a wide screen one.

i agree that many still use good ol' 1024x768, but why ignore the fact that widescreen resolutions do exist? I, for one, will probably be exclusively doing widescreen wallpapers from now on.

yeah, everyone I know still uses standard resolutions that are (or are close to) the 4:3 ratio. I have seen alots laptops/desktop monitors with wide screens, but I only know one person who uses a wide screen.

Does anyone know of any wallpaperers on MT that make widescreen wallpapers?

My laptop have 1440x900 resolution, I've converted some regular wallpapers to widescreen myself, but I'm not very good at creating my own...

I would have to agree with you there Ryuji not everyone is rich to get a new computer monitor everytime something comes out. Like I was explaining to a friend fo mine who still dose her layouts in 800x600 formats its not going to hurt the 1024 people to use the layout. There fore it won't hurt aony Non-widescreen res to use a widescreen wall. Most windows OS give you the abillity to strech to your screen rex so Not really a big problem

Actually, before I got my new comp, I had a widescreen wallpaper on my desktop and it worked fine. The only issue is when you have text on it because sometimes the text gets cut off. That is why I usually don't use text on my current wide screen walls.

Yah I was browsing through galleries and came upon a nice one with widescreen... there are some non-widescreen ones mixed in there as well though, but go see for yourself ^.^ http://blusake.minitokyo.net/gallery/

Thanks for the tip! good to see another that is doing widescreens.

this one is widescreen, that's what make me failed. T_T

It would be nice if MT had a section for widescreen wallpapers
