Yeah pretty much anything 16:9 should be good. We're just using 1920x1080 as a general recommendation just as we used to require that previews be at least 1024x768. 16:9 aspect ratio: 1280×720, 1366×768, 1600×900, 1920×1080, 2560×1440, 3840×2160, 5120×2880, 7680×4320 I don't think it's necessary to update any older screenshots unless someone wants to. We're just wanting people to get into the new resolutions

As some of you might have already noticed, we have made updates to the preview images on WinCustomize. There was a couple of reasons this was changed, and one of those is for in-app browsing of skins. With these changes made, and that we have several apps already supporting in-app browsing, we are asking all skinners and uploaders to now upload preview images in a 16:9 format . We are specifically recommending (and this has been noted on the upload page) a <str

The holidays we celebrate throughout the year have always been a popular occasion to apply some cool skins and themes to your desktop. Out of all the holidays during the year, a few stand out for skinning. Christmas Halloween Valentine's Day New Years I think Christmas and Halloween are the two favorites, and they are definitely mine! Do you have a favorite skinning "holiday"? Let me know in the comments if any of these area

Happy Birthday Windows 10! Today is 5 years since Windows 10 was originally released on July 29th, 2015. I've been a user since before that being in various beta programs, and overall I have been happy with it over these past few years. It's also exciting for me to be part of a great company that makes awesome products to make Windows 10 even better! Windows 10 has certainly changed a lot over the past 5 years with lots of updates, and our friends over at Neowin have put together a gr

I can't believe we are just coasting through summer and that August is just about here! I hope you're staying somewhat cool as the heat here has been just about unbearable. It has been quite a busy summer already and that's what we'll go over in this month wrap-up. Stardock News: <a id="ctl00_ctl00__Content__Content__RepeaterPostCategories

Computer monitors have become much bigger and the prices have become quite more reasonable than they used to. I picked up a nice 34" widescreen for just a couple of hundred bucks. It's not 4K, but HD has been working quite well for me. I do have a 4K touchscreen laptop, and that is certainly nice to have when working with images and video. But the question today is what size wallpaper resolution do you typically look to download? Do you even look to see what resolutions are available?

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="2" id="3784042"] Honestly no I don't use them. I've been sitting here pondering the idea off and on though, and the one thing I can come up with that might fit into the scheme is a shallow ocean floor. Could use different lighting effects for the different times of day, and have different critters poking around. [/quote] That's a great idea. :)

I have a new CNC machine going in my shop, and I needed a Windows PC to run the code going to the machine. My current laptop I use for work is a Dell XPS 15" 4K touchscreen which is something I'm not going to keep in a place that is often filled with sawdust. So I needed something as cheap as possible but still capable of running quite a few applications. After searching on Amazon and eBay I narrowed it down to a $90 Windows tablet and an <a href="https://amzn.to/3hspX7v" target="_blank" rel=
