1920x1200 is a standard wide screen format. My Dell 24" display runs natively at this resolution, and I make all my wallpapers at least that size. More often then not I design my wallpapers in 2560x1600 for 30" displays (for Apple and Dell). It would be great if Minitokyo would support these standard wide screen formats.

Thanks!

I second the adoption of the 1920x1200 screen size (although I don't generally design for it myself, I have been considering beginning to use this format) as it's definately the standard 21" widescreen resolution.
As for 30" displays, you have only my unending raw envy. :P

how common is this resolution? as in is there a lot of pple using tis resolution already? otherwise.. it might be more logical for wallpaper makers to create the 1024 resolution since more pple are using them

Well I don't have a 30" display, but I like to provide the option.

1280x1024 is already almost as common as 1024x768. Large formats are great because they can always be scaled down and cropped, the same can not be said about small sizes...

Well from my site stats, keep in mind that this doesn't speak for the whole internet but it does give a good idea how it is catching on:

1024 × 768 40%
1280 × 1024 22%
1920 × 1200 8%
1680 × 1050 5%
800 × 600 5%
1152 × 864 5%
1600 × 1200 5%
1280 × 960 3%
1280 × 800 2%
1440 × 900 1%
480 × 272 <1%
1400 × 1050 <1%
1280 × 768 <1%
1280 × 854 <1%
1536 × 960 <1%
2560 × 1600 <1%
1152 × 870 <1%
960 × 600 <1%

Multiple resolution uploads per-submission would be cool! Or at least a browse by resolution feature for the site.

Damn sorry about the funky resolution list looking funky, it was some text encoding copy-and-paste issue, but you get the idea.

I don't think the lack of people using a particular resolution should limit Minitokyo. There are a few people who design at these resolutions, so why not support them? Minitokyo would only benefit by having these larger wallpaper resolutions available and most people who would still be designing at the more common 1600x1200, 1280x0124, and 1024x768 resolutions would not be adversely affected in any way.
Multiple resolutions per submission are not allowed; we prefer that additional resolutions be linked in the entry and hosted elsewhere. (There was debate on this issue some time ago -- some were for multiple-resolution upload to encourage people to create wide-screen walls while others were against it because it meant more saturation of the servers for what were essentiall double images -- and this was the resolution.)

I'd like to see some widescreen love on here as well. I haven't been on as much lately due to a huge amount of school work and getting my new system set up. However, now that I want a change of wallpapers, I could really use some HiDef Widescreen walls.

Currently I have to find a low rez one, and then crop it. It looks rather crappy considering mine is also a 1920x1200 native rez.

It'd be nice to see a widescreen section, that could then be broken down into groups by anime or category.

I'll also find interesant have 1920x1200 and 1680x1050 (mine :P) resolutions.

I agree, for longevity higher resolutions should be supported. In ten years time when 2560x1600 or greater is standard our 1024x768 are going to look awfully blurred. However by supporting higher resolutions like 1920x1200 and 2400x1800 we ensure that any work designed at those resolutions will still look good in the future.

I'll put it into perspective, I run at least 1280x1024 on all of my PCs. And 640x480 and 800x600 walls do look rather streched on them. To avoid this high res papers will still look good in future.

I agree with this, I plan to get a widescreen monitor eventually and it would be great to have support for the correct format of wallpapers for that kind of screen ratio!

It would be great if MT would allow users to upload both a normal and widescreen version as one submission. That way, wide screen users can easily find a likeable wallpaper.

I'm not too sure about this but most of the time I observe that widescreen wallpapers are croped from a non-widescreen sized version. So it should not be too much of a problem for artists to do some tweaking...

I always use 1600x1200 resolution . And i think that's great , not too small , not too big . But for me the bigger the better .

This has been discussed before by folks who wish to encourage members to design in widescreen formats but has been voted against. The main argument against this suggestion is that is a waste of space to have multiple versions (same as multiple submissions of a wallpaper are generally not allowed) and that the artist can upload the wallpaper to another site and link to it in the description.
Myself, I have just begun designing in the 1920x1200 format (which isn't supported *coughyetcough*) and actually uploaded the widescreen to MT, and linked to my main gallery page for other resolutions. This is what is encouraged for other widescreen artists at the moment, and it will work (especially when they get more support for the different widescren resolutions...>_>)

Gosh, I just realized I'd already answered this question 4 weeks ago.
