Stop Windows 8 from converting wallpapers to low quality JPGs
- by Peter W.
This has been bugging me on Windows 7 as well, and much to my chagrin Microsoft didn't bother addressing that issue in Windows 8.
Take this image for example: http://mantia.me/goodies/desktops/supermariobros_wide.jpg
It's made for retina Macbooks, so naturally it's being downscaled when setting it as wallpaper on my 1680x1050 screen. Windows 8 manages to make it look like shit, see this screenshot: http://d.pr/i/WGFy
Is there any way of making Windows always the original image, not some JPGized-to-hell version of it?
