Okay, I know i saw the answer to my question somewhere else, but I cant seem to find it.

What size does the image have to be for the custom skin if you are picking your own image?

and can they be stretched at all to reach the above size? I don't mean stretched like half a page, but maybe an inch, so that it wont skew the image

and i'm trying to decide between a couple different wolf images, any opinions on which one would look better would be greatly appreciated :)

see attachments for the other 2 pics

sorry this one is so big, i couldnt figure out how to resize it >_<

I believe Anewbus once wrote:


"The recommended minimum resolution for your own design is 1280 x 800 I believe. You can go higher if you like."



If you need higher resolution shots you can look at these. Of course copyright rules would apply I imagine. ;)

Hey there Dislexi,
Yes, minimum is 1280x800, however I recommend going one or two notches higher to be sure.

Do you want a mean looking wolf?
check out the link Skybass provided, I saw some great wolf pics (non-mean). As for copyrights - anything offered on-line for free is by all counts, free. You may use accordingly unless otherwise stated. Do check that site for anything pertaining to use first to be sure.

Keep in mind the minimum resolution accepted (as anewbus stated) is 1280x800. However, the higher the resolution, the better quality the image will appear when it is printed and applied to the laptop.
