I used to have wallpapers with that reso too and mobile wallpapers for the iphone 4. XD
THIS. Also I'm much more impatient with graphic design these days xDCrystal wrote:I still make wallpapers but I don't put them up for people anymore and instead make them for myself. So many weird screen resolutions nowadays make this difficult to do.
Saaaame. That and I am one of the weird resolution folks, since this is a widescreen gaming monitor which makes prefab things wonky, alas. So it's either stick to plain colors or make my own.Crystal wrote:I still make wallpapers but I don't put them up for people anymore and instead make them for myself.

I miss Winamp Skins because I still use Winamp LOL I do have some really pretty ones, though <3333Winamp Skins
The reason I don't really make these is because of so many multiple screen resolutions. But, with the addition of smartphones, you could try making smartphone backgrounds~~~Wallpapers
Oh wow! That's a nifty idea. I like this very much. :Dwolfrun wrote:A good way to get around this is to just design your wallpaper for the biggest resolution available. Right now that'd include widescreen. Then you can just resize to the most popular sizes listed at this site. Actually, people should just be able to use the wallpaper at higher res and it should automatically scale down without too much trouble (maybe, haven't tried it lately). I'd just do the biggest aspect ratios and let it go from there. xD
This would be a really cool idea! I guess 100x100 would still be the go-to size, but I find that these days, it seems a lot harder to figure out what exactly to design for... It seems like there's less use for using icons and stuff. :( I know some people use LJ stlil but it's not as much as it used to be.neo wrote:Also, this isn't really relevant to old shrines, but I'd love to see a webmaster/mistress do a themed icon challenge like you would have found on livejournal back in the day. Not even 100 icon themed challenges, just like 10 that really resonate with what they are shrining.
I REALLY miss the Anipike! Anyone could submit sites to it and it was such a good way to find other character shrines. :/ I LOVE Emotion and the amassment directory but they still aren't the same as Anipike, mostly because amassment requires you to be a member (not a big deal but still an obstacle for some ppl) and Emotion, you can only submit your own sites. With Anipike, I would submit all the sites I knew of and it'd be a great way to get people to learn about new places to go. I've actually already found SOME shrines that aren't listed at either directory. :D I think I linked them on my general links page at Genrou but yeh~ Would make it a lot easier to find out about new shrines. Poor Anipike~ It turned into such garbage ;_;neo wrote:ALSOALSO, something that drives me absolutely insane: you can't view the Anime Web Turnpike's (Anipike) link directory in the Wayback. If there is one truly Retro thing I miss it is this source and I know there are more things to add to this list andandandand it may be impossible ;;
Thanks!! :D It's how I would design my wallpapers back in the day... I'd do the largest size and scale down. OMG I still remember doing 640x400 wallpapers... LOLCrystal wrote:Oh wow!
