Do people not know how to use Gimp? Whenever people make requests for particular sizes of wallpaper, it never ceases to amaze me. I've come to the conclusion that people just don't know how to resize an image themselves. People listen up: Open up the wallpaper image in Gimp; goto the menu and select 'image' then 'scale image'. Set the size to anything you need (click on the little chain symbol to break size aspect ratio lock.) Note: you can crop the image to your liking before you resize it. Click 'file' then 'save'. Now you have a wallpaper in the size you want. Wow! Wasn't that simple?
Umm, not significantly, when you're going from say 1024x768 to 1280x1024 for example. You certainly don't lose resolution when shrinking an image. My advice would be to post large images and let people shrink them to what they need.

Is there a chance of a 1600x1200 version?
Done!

Is not the same as if you do a version for THAT resolution. The image lose quality resizing it. That's basic....

"...to post large images and let people shrink them to what they need." That's the solution. 1600x1200 is a great resolution for that.
