How do I make my own Wallpaper?

Sizes:
If you make your wallpaper suitable for the largest monitor resolutions, then it can also be shrunk down to size for the smaller resolutions. Whereas if you create it for the smaller resolutions, it will lose detail if you attempt to enlarge it.

Large Resolution: 3200 x 1200
Standard Resolution: 2560 x 1024
Small Resolution: 2048 x 768

Software:
You can use any image editing software you wish to create your wallpaper. The more recommended ones would be Adobe Photoshop or JASC Paint Shop Pro. These offer more tools and options for your images. You can always use MS Paint if you want though =]

File Format:
Preferably your wallpaper should be stored in the JPEG format. If your wallpaper consists of a small amount of colours and no photos then it may be best to store it in the GIF format. If you are unsure though, stick to the JPEG format.
