But my point is they can't say they didn't know as it is clearly stated
on the image.

I run my monitor in 800x600 and this is exactly why I have published
them at 900x600. This means people can easily use them as Windows
backgrounds without losing any quality. They will also stretch to
1024x768 backgrounds without losing much quality. It's not that hard to
change resolutions if you really want to see the entire photo without
saving it. It only takes about 30 seconds to right click on the desktop,
go to properties and then settings to change the resolution. I'm not
sure about Win95 A, but with the B release you can also display the
settings icon on your task bar. This gives you a menu with available
resolutions when you click on it. This is very fast, easy and doesn't
even require the minimisation of your application.
