I can tell you that 5:4 is pretty common as is 16:9.
Yeah, you're right. Sorry. 5:4 (1280x1024) is commonly used as
well. I completely forgot that 5:4 is that resolution for a second.
16:9, however, is only generally used for TV screens. There's just
one resolution that uses it, Wide XGA (1366×768), which is an
extremely uncommon resolution. 16:10 is the typical widescreen
resolution for computer monitors.
Still, I think that up- or downscaling a wallpaper (made for 4:3)
without stretching or squishing it or changing the proportions in
any way will be fine in most cases. If we make sure that there's
nothing interesting at the borders of the image, we might as well
cut them off occasionally in order to support some resolutions nicely.

I've also been working on a wallpaper. It's coming along nicely, but
the colors are too saturated to suit the theme for now.
Here's a downscaled (50%) version of the work-in-progress: http://
