Welcome, this contest is to see who can create the best VMK wallpaper for peoples desktop. This is a little advertisement for nick (keep reading). It must be big for desktops and has to have vmkforums.com mentioned somewhere on it to help nick out with advertising. I will feature the winning design on wallpaper sights and I will sent it into disney and possibly have it approved as a official disney wallapaper. To enter the contest make a design and post it in this forum. Thanks a lot!

Just a question. How exactly does this raise money for Nick? Also, did he approve of this?

1) No unaproved
2) Sorry does not raise money for nick (sorry mistake)

Have Fun,

How would this help with advertising? When a desktop wallpaper is something you see?
Possibly on Disney Site? nope to many lawyers involved.
Keep New's to Official VMK news please.

good idea, and i approve.

But we would need the wallpapers to be at least 1600x1200

As that is the resolution I run.

Becky
06-26-2005, 01:44 AM
eh.... Nick, not to be rude, but lots of ppl run their screen resolution at 1024x768 or at 800x600... 1600x1200 isn't used by most ppl.. could u allow it to be 1600x1200, AND those two others?

My wallpaper (http://*************/garfieldslasagne/vmkforums.com.bmp) note:may take a long time to load :( :( :(your not wrong, it took ages and im on 1.5mbitLOL; I'm also on 1.5mbit, but my browser timed out before it would load. I just tried to download it directly instead and I see that your image is only 3.2 MB, so it must be a problem with ************* (still wouldn't download for me).

Any chance you can save this as a JPG instad, danielchand? That should be a lot smaller than a BMP. :) Or, you might also try hosting it at a place like www.imageshack.us since their servers are really fast and you can upload images up to 10 MB.

Good luck!

I tend to prefer less busy desktops as it keeps the focus on your icons and not the image.

Comments gratefully accepted.

I thought this was going to be a meaningless Thread, with very little contestants, but wow This art work and visual Detail in each section proved me wrong. Great job on all of them, I am not sure what a Winner would do, but to have a section of VMK where all of these are acessed and can choose from is a excellent idea. Once again great job on all of the artwork. I am very impressed.

Y'all like me, you really like me! I'm glad at least some people like it. I fear negative commentary.
i haven't been able to connect with you and your game room in quite a while!It's hard getting it started up now that you can't get on the popular list without four people usually. Plus, people are getting very picky with prizes.
Oh finally you stop scanning the forums, Wynsome! :DI'm sure everyone was waiting with bated breath for this moment.
