Wallpaper and Screensavers

If you’re bored with the appearance of your desktop you have some choices on how to spice it up a little. You can use wallpaper, screensavers, and even themes. Wallpaper is pictures you use as background on your desktop. Your computer probably comes with several choices. But if you don’t like any of those you can select your own. If you right click on an image online there should be the choice to Set as Background. You can also put pictures you already have on your computer as wallpaper. Right click the image and choose Set as Desktop Background. You can also choose how to place the picture you use as wallpaper by centering it, tiling it, or stretching it. If the picture doesn’t take up the whole screen you can customize the background color.
There should also be several different animated screen savers on your computer too. Right click on the desktop and select Properties. Then click on Screen Saver, and then choose one. If you want to make a slide show of pictures you have then choose My Pictures Slide Show. This will create a slide show of all the pictures in My Pictures. You can also choose None if you don’t want a Screen Saver.
Themes are fun as well. Right click on Properites, and then Themes. There are several to choose from. It changes things like sounds, icons, and other elements to further customize your desktop. You can also find cool themes online. I once had a Tori Amos theme. It was pretty cool. If your computer is sluggish you might not want themes or sreen savers.
