Note to Wallpaper Designers

I’m referring to downloadable digital wallpapers or desktop backgrounds, not paper wallpaper to put on the wall…

It’s really freakin’ annoying when you find a cool wallpaper that you want to download, only to have to click on a link, download a Zip file, unzip it, find the file on your hard drive, open it, then set it as your desktop. Or go into display properties and do it after you’ve unzipped it. Just give us a link to the picture so we can open it in our browser, right click on it, and set it as the wallpaper from there. JPEG files are already compressed, there is no value in compressing them again with a Zip file, unless you are bundling a text file with it or something. But still, put the text on your site, and let people just look at the damn picture!
