 At first, check this [https://wordpress.org/themes/author/aruz/ link]. You
 can see many themes with different sizes of screenshots. The reason behind
 this is, theme authors submitted themes with invalid screenshot sizes.

 As per the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/#screenshot
 theme guidelines], the valid/proper size of the screenshot should be in a
 4:3 ratio. Many theme authors follow this and submit themes with proper
 screenshot size. However, many authors submit /update themes with improper
 size. Because of that, the themes directory listing page looks bad.

 Theme reviewers used to check screenshot size by manual process. But after
 the new version of the [https://github.com/WordPress/theme-check Theme
 Check plugin] is added, it's handled by the plugin itself. But, the Theme
 Check plugin won't work for child themes. And still, there is a chance
 that the theme author submits themes with an invalid screenshot size.

 The current themes screenshot requirement is applied to make the themes
 page good. There are no other reasons for this. If the theme directory can
 be updated to display the correct size, the requirement is not needed.
