Desktop Wallpapers mini user guide:

On a computer that is provided with a desktop kind of user interface, wallpaper is the background pattern or picture against which desktop menus, icons, and other elements are displayed and moved around. A wallpaper image can be in a JPEG or a GIF file format. Wallpaper is commonly used in Microsoft Windows, Macintosh Mac OS, Linux, and in other operating systems as well. Each operating system provides several pre-installed wallpapers images for the user to choose from. A user can also choose to download and install third-party wallpapers and use one of these instead.

Typically, a wallpaper image may be centered, stretched, or tiled. When an image is centered, it is placed in the middle of the desktop and is surrounded by a solid color. When an image is stretched, it is stretched to cover all of the desktop. Only certain images can be stretched or they look distorted. An image that is tiled is placed on the desktop much like tiles are placed in a shower or a tiled floor. Tiling is commonly used for patterns instead of photos because a pattern is one square image that repeats itself across and down the screen, effectively forming a single image.

Adding different wallpapers to you computer allows you to change the background image of your desktop.

To setup new wallpaper follow these steps:

To save the background to your hard drive, right click on the image of choice and choose "SAVE IMAGE AS" or "SAVE PICTURE AS" (depending on your browser) into any directory of your choice on your hard drive.

Click 'Right mouse button' somewhere on desktop.

Choose the 'Background' tab.

Click on 'Browse' and navigate to where you saved your background.

Find and highlight the image you want to use and click 'Apply'
