Resizing screenshots

[Dutch64]

Guys, when posting screenshots, please resize them first a bit, scrolling to see a pic full is not nice

Very good! If you would use .jpg format instead of .bmp it would be perfect!

hmmmmm....isn't 1024*768 the quasi-standard ? A lot of people have moved up to 19" LCD's and then it's 1280x1024 (my resolution).

The difference in size is not too big (compression to 80%) and will show many more details.

But I allways find when u get a new pc, it does not come with a 19" LCD montor.

I like 1600x1200 as standard. . (21'')
Will not buy a Flatscreen below that resoultion anymore. If you are used to that you don't want to go back.

Only problem : The window font size. Like always I have to use the incresead fonts and like always it messes up some application
(also FSP, the cargo loading screen, the textes are everywhere and the tool resists you haveing it move where it should be. That space is
as nonexist for it)

I'd say 1024*768 for normal or 1280*800 for widescreen. And try to use PNG (not via paint, but photoshop or fireworks, etc) if you can't. It will
compress it to the 300 kilobyte area but is lossless so it doesn't look fuzzy like jpg. A comparison between two images, one png and one jpeg (thanks
to Wikipedia):

Some freehosts (such as mine) won't allow png

So it's jpg for me
