I need a way to make cool widescreen wallpapers look good on my normal monitor in WinXP
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:17:23 UTC from web-
@pony What have you tried thusfar Pony ?
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:18:22 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker @nerthos I've only tried changing the desktop settings between stretch, center, and tile.. My main challenge is that I'd like to make them work without having to crop/border/resize each one.

@pony Well, I don't think you can then.

@pony Download paint.net from www.getpaint.net. also get your native resolution, jolt it down. Then open a picture you like in paint.net and crop/resize it to your native resolution. You can also do other fancies while you are at it :)

@critialcloudkicker hmm.. I will look into that. It would be nice to do batches of images.. I know I can do that in Photoshop (which I own), but still.. it'd be nice to have, say, a plugin for windows to allow me to resize the wallpaper in my desktop controls.

@pony One of my mates is talking about Displayfusion, but he has no clue whether it works on/for WinXP
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:34:11 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker ill look into it for you
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:36:56 UTC from web -
@critialcloudkicker That looks promising. http://www.displayfusion.com/
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:36:56 UTC from web -
@critialcloudkicker I'll look around some more and let everypony know what I find.

@critialcloudkicker http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/ it does work on XP with some special requirements

@dj9volt It would do the job alright. I don't have 2 monitors though, and it seems a bit much for what I'd like to do. I would enjoy the timed wallpaper switching thingy though.

@pony let me know exactly what you are looking for and i might be able to come up with a solution hopefully free
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:47:17 UTC from web-
@dj9volt Well, I'm looking for something that won't use too much RAM and allows me to resize and crop my displayed desktop backgrounds without actually modifying the image itself. Added bonuses would include automatic wallpaper switching and known compatibility with the Windows virtual desktop manager that I use called Finestra (or a replacement program might suffice).
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:54:43 UTC from web-
@pony ill see what i can find and keep you posted
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:57:05 UTC from web-
@dj9volt me too :)
Friday, 20-Jan-12 19:59:23 UTC from web -
@dj9volt Thank you! I just came across a reviews page that looks like it might have what i need: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/best-free-wallpaper-changer.htm
Friday, 20-Jan-12 20:02:57 UTC from web-
@pony right on, no problem and if i do find something that might be better ill keep in touch
