But since there are limits to these sized, I personally think your design should concentrate all the important stuff, like text, in the leftmost 215 pixels. Obviously, how your wallpaper will look in the setup of other users is totally dependent on how wide or small they use their Kontakt window. If you don’t, you could end up with some ugly library picture like this: Preferable some neutral background color, like in my example above. Make the rightmost part something that can be repeated endlessly if you make your wallpaper smaller than 907 pixels wide. So keep this in mind when designing your wallpaper. It will just endlessly repeat the last strip of pixels on the right side. It just stopped there.įinally you should know that Kontakt will NOT stretch the wallpaper to the size of your window if the wallpaper is smaller. At least I couldn’t get beyond this on my HD screen. It is not possible to drag the Kontakt window any wider. So if you’re a sucker for “balance”, like me, then your aim should be to get somewhere near this size. …is the fixed size of the instrument on the right side of the Kontakt window. Later on, Native Instruments designed their wallpapers more “repeated pixel proof”, but with the right tools the 588 pixel border could still be found in these newer wallpapers. For earlier libraries, like the Vienna, Berlin and New York Grands, this was quite visible.

This was always exactly after 588 pixels. I took a peek at the wallpapers used by Native Instruments themselves and used the Photoshop Eyedropper to determine where the pixels started repeating. If there is ANYTHING to be found that could be regarded as the “official” width of the wallpaper, I think it might be this. It’s not possible to drag the Kontakt window any smaller and this is also the width you end up with when using the “Reset Size” option in the “Interface” settings. At least, these are the dimensions I personally use when designing a wallpaper… 215 pixels Since the width of the library can be changed, there are some dimensions you should keep in mind when designing your own wallpapers. So for my own convenience and possibly a “guideline” for others looking for this answer, here’s some things to keep in mind when deciding the dimensions you personally use. For the width, however, you should use 215 pixels… or 588… or 632… or 907… or anything anywhere in between. You can’t resize the height, so 98 pixels it is.

The height of any wallpaper is fixed to 98 pixels. Existing wallpapers also seem to use whatever dimension they like or see fit. Judging by the number of questions alike and the obvious lack of a clear answer I think there isn’t really a “standard” or definite answer to this. Something I’ve been looking for on Google a lot is the dimensions I should use when designing my own wallpapers for a new Kontakt Library
