New Layout Coming to Webkinz World

Webkinz will be launching a new layout
for Webkinz World on August 2nd.
 
When released, this new layout will require that our members have their monitor's resolution set to 1024×768 or greater.
 

New Layout  
If the current Webkinz World window fits on your monitor when open, you’re already set! You will not have to make any changes to enjoy our new layout.

If you cannot see the full Webkinz dock (where your items are), then you are running at a lower resolution, and you will need to increase it on or before August 2nd.

Good news: most monitors are capable of running at 1024×768 or higher. You might need an adult to help you with this.

This change will not affect your account or your pets in any way.

To change your monitor’s resolution, follow these steps:

 
Windows 98/2000/XP Users
  1. Right-click on your desktop (away from any icons or open windows)
  2. Select "Properties"
  3. This will open your Display Properties Control Panel.
  4. Click on the "Settings" tab.
  5. In the middle of this panel, you will see your "Screen Resolution" slider. Slide this to the right, until you get to 1024×768 (higher resolutions are okay, but make sure that they are compatible with your monitor). Press "OK" to confirm your choice.
  6. Your monitor will flicker a bit then change to its new settings. You're now ready to go!
