Monitor Resolution

Post by lightnin »

With this talk of computers I'm curious. What monitor resolution you use?
I'm playing around with a Shopsmith wallpaper I can make it available to everyone here when I'm done.
What sizes would I need to edit to. It's low priority I'm doing it in my cool down time when it's HOT out.

I didn't know what a Shopsmith was...
Three days later I owned one...
One week later I was rebuilding one...
Four months later I owned two....
Ok Ok, I'm up to four now...

I'm not happy with it but here's my first draft.

I guess I'll put on desktop a few days to figure out just what it is I dont like.

I guess I understand the gold and brown back ground but as a background I would prefer a softer color (blue).

I also do not care for the reflection.

Neat graphics however.

Are copyright laws involved when doing something like this?

Must have been taken down all I see is red X where the photo/picture/screen shot should be.

Your original question was what our monitor resolution was.

It is 1600 x 900 @ 60hz.

Full HD 1920x1024 but the sides have icons so try to keep it clean.

Mine is 1920 x 1080 but SWMBO prefers 1600 x 900.

Doesn't make much difference because we both know how to quickly change the resolution if desired.

Nice design work! Thanks for the offer to share.
