[ubuntu-art] Background resolutions and a template

[Thorsten Wilms]

Hi!

I looked through a PC hardware shop to get an idea of currently offered
screen resolutions and compiled the following list:

Monitors

2560 x 1600  1.6   8:5
1920 x 1200  1.6   8:5
2048 x 1152  1.77 16:9
1920 x 1200  1.6   8:5
1920 x 1080  1.77 16:9
1680 x 1050  1.6   8:5
1600 x 1200  1.33  4:3
1440 x  900  1.6   8:5
1280 x 1024  1.25  5:4
1024 x  768  1.33  4:3


Laptops

1920 x 1200  1.6   8:5
1920 x 1080  1.77 16:9
1680 x 1050  1.6   8:5
1680 x  945  1.77 16:9
1440 x  900  1.6   8:5
1366 x  768  1.77 16:9
1280 x  800  1.6   8:5
1024 x  576  1.77 16:9

Width x Height  Factor  Aspect-Ratio

8:5 is often given as 16:10 ...


Attached you will find an SVG template based on the largest commonly
offered resolution of 2560 x 1600, with frame layers to show the extents
of other aspect ratios, simulating the effect of the background zoom
setting.

To Kenneth: Would you like to see this on the wiki? If so, where
exactly?
