[LEN-E] High-Resolution & Widescreen Wallpapers

[Ron Koster]

Hi folks!

Firstly, just a note that the list archives have been, uh, "fixed" 
(as last week). ;)

Secondly (and the main reason I'm popping in here today), last year I 
picked up a nice widescreen monitor for myself, and in doing so it 
suddenly hit me that this seems to be becoming a popular trend, but 
as a result virtually all of the desktop wallpapers that I'd 
previously done were simply no good for anyone with a monitor 
resolution higher than 1024x768, let alone for those with monitors in 
a widescreen format.

And so this year I began the rather tedious process of re-doing all 
of my digital art wallpapers, both at various higher resolutions as 
well as -- more tediously -- in widescreen formats.

I'm afraid that, unfortunately, it'll probably be a while before I 
get anything more back up on my site like it was before (i.e. all the 
filmographies, etc.), but if only to have *something* that visitors 
can have in the meantime, I've put back all those wallpapers for downloading...

...featuring, of course, all those higher-resolution and widescreen 
formats! *All* of my old wallpapers have now been re-done -- except 
for one, namely, the one called "Meine Leidenschaft", which I 
basically need to spend a little more time on in order to correct 
some mistakes I made the first time around. In addition, I also 
re-did the "Kristalleni" piece (which you will find there) and gave 
the picture a nice waterfall background (created from a frame 
enlargement of the waterfall in "Das blaue Licht").

PLEASE NOTE (AND PLEASE HELP!): I haven't added a link to this page 
from the opening "splash" page yet, because I'm a bit concerned that 
perhaps there might be issues with the new way in which I presented 
the pop-up "preview" versions for all the wallpapers. I spent much of 
the last week (off and on) trying to fix some issues that this script 
had in the Firefox browser -- as far as I know, everything should 
hopefully be working okay now in both Internet Explorer and Firefox 
(and on a Windows platform), but I haven't tested it in any other 
browsers, let alone on a Mac platform.

If anyone experiences any problems/issues with the pop-up preview 
versions for the wallpapers (or any other problems, of course), can 
you *please* let me know? It would be VERY much appreciated, if it's 
not too much trouble (and please let me know what platform you're on 
-- i.e. Windows or Mac -- and what browser you were using).

Thanks -- and enjoy! Download to your heart's content! Indeed, the 
higher-resolution versions are certainly good enough that you could 
also print them out quite nicely (for personal use only) at a 
reasonably large size, if you're inclined to do so.
