With the current width and 4-icon-per-row design, it's possible to scan a page by simply scrolling with the mouse. You barely need to move your eyes away from a single area.Ah, I never had this issue. But is it too much to ask to have some options for non standard internet users?
We can't increase the width and still abide by these design choices, as they would then be very out of place. We also designed the site to be more fitting of other sites you might visit - most commonly, you can think of Screw Attack, Facebook, Twitter, Normal Boots, VGFacts, or DidYouKnowGaming. All of these sites follow a fixed width column layout, and in order to be easier to the standard internet user, it's something we felt we should follow.

What I meant was make it skip straight to the full size sprite sheet. Just an option for that, that most standard users wouldn't have to worry about.
