#### Make (and share!) your very own Glitch desktop wallpaper

I noticed that if you take a snap with zoom pulled all the way back, you'll get a huge, wider than 2000px (exact number depends on your screen resolution) image if you look at the original size on the snaps page. This high resolution image can be used for a number of things, but most interesting I think would be downloading it and using it as a desktop wallpaper.
Here's an example I did earlier - snap (2647x1685) and desktop (1440x900). So, go forth and snap some of Ur's most beautiful scenery, and share them here!

- It wasn't from a snapshot I took, but I used to have the background from the Game of Crowns as my wallpaper. I got a high res image from Glitch Strategy and cropped it to get my wallpaper.

- Hey Boom... do you know you have feathers on your butt? ;)
  Also, and more pertinent, I like the screenshot and this is a cool idea :).

  LOVE yours Chemisie! ^^

- The problem with those, b3achy, is that they're rather small for desktops. You can still use them for your phone though!
  Anyway, made another one in Roobrik: i.imgur.com/u5bXb.jpg (snap). It was surprisingly hard to get a picture of yourself sleeping.

- Ah, but I have one of mine set to my wallpaper...then again I'm on a laptop and often invoke the fit or stretch options if I want them to reach to the edge of the screen. I kind of like a plain border around most of my pictures (so they get centered) since my plethora of icons often blend with most picture backgrounds...so I prefer a plain border...
  But understand...my weird desktop tastes likely aren't most peoples... ;D

- Can I ask how you guys take such big pictures? I've tried to figure out how to edit the game screen so it's using my browser full size, but I dunno how. I have an iMac, my display is pretty gigantic at 1920x1080 but I am not Flash savvy, so I don't know how you guys take such biggie pics D:
