Textures and size

before you start make sure your image is one of the standard sizes.
800x600, 1024x768, 1600x1200 . . .

there's also 1200x960 but we dont talk to those kids

and about the textures:
lets say you find a pic that you like..or make your own.take a picture..like wood or metal or something. open it and select the entire picture ..ctrl a i think and then copy it (ctrl c)
ok then go to edit and define pattern
there you go.. your texture is in the list and then go crazy with it.

don't forget 1280 x 1024........................

1280 x 960 is actually an excellent resolution and fits in with the 4:3 ratio in other resolutions, unlike 1280 x 1024.

So there.

In fact I wonder why 1280 x 1024 was ever put in the resolution options, there must be a reason...

36 pence goes to the person who can tell me this.

Make that 42.

No takers then.

I use it and like it.

i also use 1280 x 1024. no problems here.

Alright I heard ya the first time.

I didn't say there were problems with it, I just said that it doesn't fit in with every other resolution's ratio of 4:3...

Still noone is getting 42 pence from me.

who cares if it fits the 4:3 ratio? it's the highest rez my monitor can handle

this is my .sig

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY IT WAS PUT IN THE OPTIONS...!

Someone probably just thought that a 5:4 ratio would be nice.

From http://www.lmn.pub.ro/~byte/vidfaq/part1.html:
Keep in mind that the aspect ratio can be important. Standard televisions
and computer monitors are designed to work with a 4:3 aspect ratio. If
you use a 5:4 aspect ratio on a monitor with a 4:3, your screen image will
be compressed vertically, making circles appear as ellipses. The error
associated with using a pixel addressability aspect ratio of 5:4 with a
monitor os 4:3 is about 6%.

Thank you philtr, I found that whole site very interesting. I always wondered why my friend's Trinitron screen had two lines going across it. Merci!

Oh and about the 42p.... Sorry I don't have that much money - you think I'm rich or something?

Long live 1024x768...
