DG Wallpaper

Newark, OH(Zone 5b)

For those of you who would like to have a little DG when you're offline as well as when you're on, there's now some DG wallpaper available for download. It's available in the "Extras" menu to your right, or at this http://davesgarden.com/files/wallpaper/

It's available in several sizes since people set their monitors at various resolutions:

640x480
800x600
1024x768
1600x1200

Enjoy! :)

Glad you like them! To decide on the best size, try this:

1. right click on your desktop
2. select properties
3. click the "settings" tab
4. Look at the slider below "screen resolution"
5. Jot down that number (800x600, 1024x768, etc.)
6. Click cancel until you're back out at your desktop

Save the wallpaper closest to the dimensions you just jotted down.

Here's a good page to tell how to make an image your wallpaper: http://familyinternet.about.com/library/blwallpaper.htm

Okay, Kim... What does the Sonic/Blizzard wallpaper look like? Did you actually make that?

All I did was open it in Irfanview and click OPTIONS > SET AS WALLPAPER > STRETCH. If stretch makes it too big, you can resize the picture, re-save it, then open the new one and make it into wallpaper. That's all you have to do! :)

P.S. You can also do that with images opened in Internet Explorer or Netscape. Right-click on the picture and you'll see the option.
