Anyone know any widescreen anime wallpaper websites? I know a few with normal ratios, but I don't like how skewed and stretched they look on my screen.

That's an easy thing to fix, first, try to find something close to your resolution. If you can't find anything that matches your resolution, but is either bigger or a tad smaller, you can edit it in paint to make it larger. If you need extra pixels on the tops or bottom, then center the pic and fill those areas in black. Here's a pic of what I'm talkin about .

As you can tell, I've added the extra bars to the top and bottom to make it exactly half of my current resolution of 1280 x 1024, so when I set it up as my background it doesn't look skewed. Personally, I would have preferred a SS of it in that resolution, cause increasing the size pixelates it, but this is just an example. As for websites on where to get this stuff, I dunno of many anime sites, other than the official ones, but I do know that [Link Removed ~Zalis] has some nice free wallpapers, as well as some pay ones, for up to a tri-screen setup.

Edit: That being said, anyone know of a better vid player than VLC that can do screen caps? I've searched through the player that comes with CCCP but couldn't find anything.

And, a mini-Editorial on the matter:
In general, no file may be requested on ANN in any way (including via Private Message), unless that file has been specifically distributed BY the company owning it for purposes of internet propagation.
Wallpapers are files, files have to be downloaded, and we've all read this announcement on asking for downloads, right? Though I bear no ill will, I have to shut this one down.
