Detailed Wallpaper Specifications

  • One single static image is used for the wallpaper. This image should be 1280px wide to accommodate nearly every screen size in common use. This does not mean that all browsers will show all of the wallpaper content, as some users have lower browser resolutions – the content you want to display to the highest amount of users should be contained within the 137 pixel gutters on either side of the page (see below). You must include a transparent bleed at the edges to blend in with the site background
  • Total file size: 100k
  • Page content width = 970px
  • The space between the gutters should be 970px
  • Right and Left Gutter Width = 137px
  • 5px buffer between page content area and wallpaper content (optional)
  • Horizontal and vertical tiling is allowed
  • Scroll-follow is not allowed, gutter images must remain fixed in browser when user scrolls down the page
  • Background colour must be thematically consistent with takeover content
  • No text allowed. With the exception of logos and necessary legal text, all text, slogans and calls to action must live in the banner 300×250 and masthead units.

300×250 Specifications

  • 300×250 base unit FLA, SWF (40KB) and back up image (40KB). Detailed landing spot specs can be found here
  • Please also include fonts that we may need for publishing the FLAs
  • Expandable and Floating formats are also available with this unit for a takeover

Sponsorship Strip Specifications

  • 40KB SWF, Flash 10 AS3 or below, 25fps or below
  • 40KB JPG or GIF back up image

Optional ExSpondo Module

  • ExSpondo (Expandable Sponsorship Strip) is an add-on available for a wallpaper takeover. Upon user click, the Sponsorship Strip of the takeover can expand to 300px in height and push the page content down to further engage the user with even more rich media content such as videos, games, forms and much more.
  • 954×300
  • Flash 9 AS 2 or below
  • Up to 3 30 second videos allowed. Videos should weigh up to a maximum of 2.2meg. Yahoo! can provide the video player which will contain a replay button, play/pause buttons and sound on/off buttons. Anything over and above the above number or weight of the videos has to be discussed on a case by case basis. Please contact your account manager.
  • Sound after the click initiation of the exspondo can start straightaway with the video. The video player should include a sound on/off button, a video play/pause button and a replay button. These buttons can be provided by Yahoo!
  • Up to two flash animations can be included in the exSpondo area and will be loaded on click. Such flash animation should not weigh more than 40kb each and might include for example an area with links to downloadable files, a game, etc
  • Upon click initiation of areas of the exSpondo, either on its expanded or unexpanded state, an additional wallpaper can be launched that will replace the first one: please note that in this case all of the takeover has to be built and served using Yahoo! rich media technologies.
  • Please provide FLA and fonts for all assets as well in order to be able to add custom code
  • Third party serving is available for this module only: Eyeblaster, Doubleclick
