    Default Widescreen Wallpapers

    I made widescreen versions of my Eagles wallpapers for those of us who have widescreen monitors. You can see 'em all here:

    Thanks Willie! I noticed there seems to be a dearth of widescreen wallpapers in almost every music fandom (certainly the ones I frequent), but I think they're the wave of the future.

    Since these were originally designed to be the regular resolutions, I had to make some changes to the design. Some worked better than others, lol, but I will keep it in mind when designing future ones.

    Widescreens on computers just ain't quite here yet. I love them and have a 19" widescreen. I've had to compromise between good graphics and good text. I've chosen the graphics but that can make some of the text a real nightmare to read. But If you go with non widescreen resolution to get good text, all the vertical proportions are skewed....short and fat!

    These only work for all widescreens, regardless of resolution, if you make the desktop setting "fit to screen." Otherwise, such disasters can ensue!

    Actually, "Stretch" or "Center" either one works on my resolution with the widescreen images you made. It's when I try to use any other kind of image that I have to work magic on it to get it distorted for normal viewing pleasures <LOL>

    BTW, The only resolution that really works on my widescreen is 1280x768. Your WS images are PERFECT Nancy. Thank you very much. I tend not to change BGs very often because of the hassle. Your work is appreciated.

    Great work as usual, Soda. More and more, people are going with widescreen monitors, so it's a good idea to get ahead of the curve.
