Question regarding proper banner size and resolution

[theguru143]

Okay, so I've created a new banner for my forum, but it seem that no matter how I create it in Photoshop, I can't get it to do two important things:

1. Fill the entire banner area. It is always shorter length-wise
2. Actually LOOK decent. In Photoshop and even Windows preview it is fine, but once uploaded it looks low-res. So far I have tried 2 different sizes (960 x 150  and 1024 x 150 px) 

Here is a link so that you can see what I mean:

Try adding this code to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet:

#banner { background-size: 100%; }

I will give that a shot and report back. Thank you for the quick reply

That definitely fixed issue #1 (not filling the width properly)
But it made issue #2 even more noticable. lol
When you create something, are you using 8, 16 or 32bit coloring? It LOOKS okay when I view it on my computer, but I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong somewhere to lower the graphics. Ugh

It looks fine for me when it comes to graphic quality, however, I always save my graphics as PNG as that has the best resolution.

Maybe it's just my personal setting then....that, or I'm just picky. Thank you again for the help!
