Had been thinking to do the same myself. 2 walls, 4 size packs each, 8 total. That makes page 1 for unregistered users who account for about 80-90% of downloading. The full and widescreen had already been up but are now up front again, so taken down and re upped. No offense intended but I would think a WC mod should know better than to upload like this.

People will find your work, regardless of what page it is on.

I frequently browse through 10 pages or so if I am looking for a new theme or package.

i think for walls all that needs to go to the mail gallery is 1 wall at a 'median' resolution - description to include link to personal page to get any other size supplied


some of us have no choice - stuck with rural dial up - multipacks kill us - especially since a few site upgrades ago, I can no longer use FF&Leechget to download - have to use IE and let LG catch the clicks

So whats up with these people that upload 5 or 10 or even 15 screenshots in a day? That really bugs me

mmm...how about a wallpaper pack, that only has one 1600x1200 and one 1920x1200. That way people can resize the images themselves. If someone requests a specific size, it could be emailed to them or placed in our personal gallery. This would make for faster downloading for dial up users, and would take up less bandwidth. Irfanview is one of many fine and free programs that resize quickly and painlessly. My computer would be so much happier if I only had 2 sizes of a wallpaper and the preview saved in a folder, instead of the 7 sizes and the preview that I usually have.

26 resolutions per walls (total 52 walls with the second wall packs i send to my PP)

I show this to make the dialog easier about the packs.

My personal tastes are that i prefer get all sizes at once
(cause i don't want to open Photoshop each time i change my wall or to create a widescreen version for my second screen on vista or even to create a dual monitor to make my two monitor matching)
And it's easier to deleted the unused walls than resize every wall you dld isn't it.

But as you can see, all at once could done a 12Mb download who is what "you" dialup users would cry about isn't it.

So like i prefer get all sizes and i prefer when i skin think on everything and everyone, i always do all i can.
And make my walls in separeted download regarding the type of screen to make the download with less MB for dial-up users.

Well once that said, I don't think (i talk as a user of uncommon resolutions) i would like everytime i want a wall to go on the wallpaper page and then go on personal gallerie. It's a pain.

Other thing is preview, honestly many fullscreen wall don't match really well when resize to a widescreen resolution and i won't talk about when it's a dual or triple monitor wall resized from a full one.
I think user prefer see what they will dld (especially many users non subscribers who have a dld limite)

INFO: Personal opinion and 2 cents, not an official position.



totally agree and i'm one of the first to cry about it.



There i'm not sure, i guess to boost their dld they should make packs, example:
a pack with 2 icons will take 2000 dlds and wil be notice
but two icons separated will take maybe 1000 and 1000 and will not be notice like the pack (in yesterday dld list for example)

again 2 cents

Not sure if I understand that.


What I meant was if they would just put all the icons in a single pack then it would be less clutter in the gallery. But lets say they put them all in a single pack and 175 people want them. Then they get 175 downloads. But uploading them individually if the same 175 people want all of the icons, and lets say its a set of 15 icons, then they end up with 2625 downloads total for the same work.

Just makes it more difficult for those 175 people to get them though.

getting back to the original post; if it was up to me, the wall he posted would be removed permanently if he did uploaded it again just because it had cycled thru to the second or third page. it's not up to me, though.

Or, like someone else said already, uploading 10-15 (or more) single png's therefore burying a dock that was unfortunatley uploaded right before that. If you have the png's all made, package them together. Don't be a chump and put them up separate because you want more downloads (AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO!) This does not include or is not targeted at folks like Tiggs whose icons are incredibly detailed and take a long time to make. Those of you out there that do what I'm talking about YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! And we know too.  

Never in question. ( Agreed), more of an attempt, at least for my part in this thread, to see if there was a recommended or preferred method of handling the various res sizes and size of downloads.

Probably just the way Quentin did it...

Maybe the only negative to this is if the skinner creates ALL those different resolutions it is ONLY practical to put them in separate uploads, thus looking like it unfairly dominates the new uploads.

Converely, only upping two [big] resolutions...for normal and wide is fine for some, but not everyone is comfortable with a graphics proggy...resizing images to suit their particular [odd] screensize.

Sure, some [like me] don't really car what size/proportion a wall is...if they like it they'll go the extra yards to 'make it fit'...

for single monitor setups......

3 more for dual
3 more for triple
3 more for quad..... )
