    You can customize linux to look just like Windows 7 or XP. Basically the only thing holding me back now is software/game compatibility...

    Ok this is off topic, back to desktop posting.:derpe:

    It's not hard to be sized-down to that size and to fit. If you want, i can send you a 1280x1024 resolution pic to try out.

    What OS are you using? I'm asking this because in Windows 7 you can have it "fit" the wallpaper to your screen no matter the size. I'm not sure if XP or Vista can do this though.

    All OSs (as far as i know) have the option to either "Center", "Resize to fit" and "Tile" a picture on the desktop. But, what he means is that it resizes a bit weird; Centering will remove the best parts and Tiling would just flatout remove the right part of the picture. Therefore, 'tis always better to have a wallpaper corresponding with your resolution (in this case, 1280x1024). The Aspect ratio of such a resolution is 5:4, whereas in my resolution (1920x1080), it is 16:9. Big Difference, eh?

    @Pixel - Those folders are the best sorting folders i have ever seen.

    EDIT: Here you go. And who'd believe it - it looks much better in 1280x1024 than it does with my resolution.

    True. The "fit" option does sometimes tend to squeeze or stretch the image.

    What are those things at the top? They look awesome.

    Also, @Shepard_45 here you go, and who'd believe it - it looks much better in 1280x1024 than it does with my resolution.
