Clickable Wallpaper

Dimensions	Two panels, each approximately 300x900 (maximum size), adjusted to fit your site's width.
Max Weight	90k but remember that adinterax adds weight so try to keep the total file size of your image(s) under 75k.
Creative Types	JPG, GIF (static images only - no animation, video, or audio)

A Clickable Wallpaper is a set of two images that serve on either side of the web page. There is a Clickable Wallpaper template in your adInterax account. This template was customized to each market's website but you may need to make adjustments to the alignment so be sure to do a LiveView test before sending for approvals. If the panels need adjusting, go back to aix, makes an adjustment, and create another LiveView. Repeat until both panels are lined up just beyond the edges of the webpage.

Background Wallpaper

Dimensions	Approximately 1300px wide and 900px high, adjust according to your site.
Max Weight	90k but remember that adinterax adds weight so try to keep your image under 75k.

A Background Wallpaper is an image that sits in the background of the web page. There is a Wallpaper template in your adInterax account. All you need to do is replace the image. On Aurora sites, you must add 215 pixels of 'white space' at the top of the graphic in Photoshop. This is the part of your ad that will be hidden by the masthead. If the background color on your wallpaper is anything but white, you'll see that between the site content and the masthead. You can view an example of this here.

Recommended: Background Wallpapers should be a minimum of a minimum of 1280 px wide to accommodate nearly every screen size in common use. If a canvas larger than 1280px is used, featured content should be aligned to the gutters. Non-featured content and imagery may extend beyond the gutters to create a better user experience for users on larger monitors. To create a seamless experience for users on larger monitors, edges should fade to a solid color on sides and bottom to prevent users from seeing a hard edge. You may need to adjust the image size and spacing according to your website dimensions. You can also set the color of the website background to the color of the graphic's background so that it is seamless on the edges.

IMPORTANT: You can have an image go all the way across your wallpaper but you must make sure that your site has white called out as the background in the CSS. If your market does not do this, the wallpaper will bleed through the site and you'll be seeing parts of the wallpaper through your content.

Remember that adInterax adds code to each ad, about 3-12k. The total weight of the final file must not exceed 90k. You can see the size of the finished ad when you save it. Overages will be incurred for every 1-10k over 90k. For example, if a file is 101k, there will be an additional $.20 per cpm. Overages also add to the load time of your website pages.

What not to do: We strongly suggest you do not use a tiled image for a wallpaper. See our example of a tiled Wallpaper
