 * I have a 2048 px X 1152 px screen. But i dont set my browser full screen.
 * And the average screen is still 1024 x 768 although it's tending to be higher lately. — TulipVorlax 21:53, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * As TulipVorlax mentioned screen sizes vary from computer to computer. You also have to keep in mind that pages have different page lengths (because some have more content and others have less). Your best bet for a page background is a simple pattern that repeats easily, or better yet, a solid color. --Pcj (T&bull;C) 22:10, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Or you could create something that looks good with a solid color surrounding it and fix it to the top (see what I've done here; the two 'floral patterns' (that actually are separate images) in the top corners fade into the off-white color which is set as 'standard' background color). Also, images as big as the 'whole' wiki background tend to be very big in file size, usually wasting bandwidth since you only see 20% of it. -BramTalk/IGW 10:05, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * Should it be noted that the background flowers dont show up when viewed by IE8.
 * Oh, i was forgetting that nobody should use IE anyway... — TulipVorlax 02:52, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I keep forgetting to check that out since I'm running a Mac here, but I rather wait until IE8 fixes that mistake :D Do you have any idea what part IE doesn't 'understand'? BramTalk/IGW 06:55, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
