Yes. But there are report buttons

Anybody can do that with any screenshot. Basically irs just adding extra steps if you do that.

Now, would these wallpapers be visible to anyone, or just you? I dont see the harm in having them only visible to you

Dimensions? What dimensions & file size would you have to import? Or could we maybe have a wallpaper editor to import images and draw, then you export that? That may be too confusing though.

Only visible to you.

Alright, I agree with that. so how about the file size & image dimensions?

Depends on device.

Can you be a little more specific?

What I think is it should be universal for all devices, but there should be an editor. You can then, in the editor, import images, rescale them, and possibly edit them with a paintbrush, fill tool, etc. Like a sprite editor, but for wallpapers, and one set dimension.

If they can't even make a simple dark theme, they obviously can't make this.

It's pretty much the same idea with profile pictures but worse, You also could use the same excuse for projects. That's why there's moderators.

Support!

I think he meant ipad, tablet, or phone.

No support.

It would be a nightmare for ST to code this and who knows what people are going to use as their wallpaper? It's easier sticking to project banners. It's easier for everyone.

More specifically, it would only be for that 1 device. Wallpaper reveals would be added as a report feature.

It'd probably be whatever's good for the servers or your device.
For example, the limit for a high-end computer could be 1TB.
The limit for a tablet, however, could be 1GB.

Please note that I have no idea what the limits should be and I'm just making really vague estimates.

at that point it's just better to post the inappropriate picture.

They mean, making it their wallpaper, screenshotting it, then uploading is just more extra steps than just uploading.
