New wallpapers from Unsplash

I didn't know Nomacs could even edit and resize images, I usually use Mirage for viewing them. Thanks, Jerry!

Question for the artwork team: is 1920x1200 a "carved in stone" requirement for wallpaper sizes or an approximation? Because the Unsplash images tend to resize to around 1920x1280 when height and width are constrained. Would that be close enough to be acceptable?

We do accept 1920x1080 (16:9 aspect ratio), if really necessary, since this is a popular modern ratio aspect for widescreen displays.

Our preference for the moment however is 1920x1200 (16:10) since that used to be the most popular widescreen ratio before 16:9 became more popular. Since people still use MX with older hardware, e.g netbooks, we chose to go with that for now. This may change in the future.

1920x1280 (3:2) is not our preference since that is even less widescreen and more square-like.

Originally "widescreen" referred to anything wider than the typical 4:3 display, but it quickly came to mean a 16:10 ratio and later 16:9. Nowadays, nearly all computer monitors and TVs are only available in widescreen, and TV broadcasts and web pages have adapted to match.

Until 2010, 16:10 was the most popular aspect ratio for widescreen computer displays. However, with the rise in popularity of high definition televisions, which were using high definition resolutions such as 720p and 1080p and made these terms synonyms with high-definition, 16:9 has become the high-definition standard aspect ratio
