A metagame !! I like it ! 5*

I always use Paint Shop Pro, 700x550 pixels, usually with the same background with the colors of my city, Parma: Yellow and Blue

Thanks for the encouragement. The test will be seeing if anyone uses the suggestions from these 2 games...

I have realized that if you have low screen resolution, you might not be able to read the suggested dimensions in the game. That info is in the Forum, but I repeat it here:

Use page setup to make the page 24.69 cm (9.72 inches) wide and19.38 cm (7.63 inches) high. This makes a perfect fit for the game. (Yes, you could use a different size, but if you retain the ratio, it works very well). The size given is close to the default slide size.

Leave a space for the title. The space should be in the upper left corner and measure 1.08 cm (0.42 inch) high. The width would vary with the length of the title. A 23.6 cm (9.29 inch) width accommodates even the longest possible title. You can use the drawing tool to make a rectangle there to help guide you. You may wish to delete it once you finish the background.

Likewise, leave a space for the clue bar so it will not obscure your game. Again, you could draw a rectangle to help you. It should measure 0.83 x 12.36 cm (0.33 x 4.86 inches), and be positioned 1.09 cm(0.43 inches) below the upper left corner.
