A slideshow You can display the contents of a folder of your choice, with the background image changing as frequently as every minute or every 10 minutes, 30 minutes, hour, six hours, or day.
You can choose from a palette of 24 colors. The image can be any of several file types, including BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, TIF, and the less common DIB, JFIF, JPE, JPEG, and WDP file types.Ī solid color If you want to keep things simple, you can opt for a plain, colored background.
You can set your desktop background to any of the following: Some people prefer simple backgrounds that don’t obscure their desktop icons, some prefer photos that reflect a specific theme, and some prefer personal photos of family members, pets, or favorite places. Your choice of desktop background usually reflects your personal taste-what you like to see when your app windows are minimized or closed. For more information, see “Apply and manage themes” later in this chapter. In addition to the changes described in this topic, you can apply a custom theme, which sets the background, color scheme, and other properties at one time.
