Downloadable "wallpaper" for PC?

Post by Olli Haavisto »



Does anybody know of a website from where I could download a steel guitar background to my PC?

Olli;
With Windows you can make any picture you like the background image for your desktop. Find the image you'd like to have as the background - right click on it and select "save as wallpaper". Simple as that... Image
In your control panel you can set it to tile the picture or align it in a few different ways.

if you are running Mac OS you can do the same (use any picture you want as wallpaper)- use either the the Desktop Pictures or Appearance control panel depending on version of OS.

Rebel's Desktop Theme for Win9x (link above) is mighty fine...

and here's a source for pix you might want to use:

If you want to keep the Netscape or IE wallpaper files you have created as described above, copy them to another directory, since each time you use "Set as wallpaper", the previous file (a .bmp file in C:\windows) will be overwritten. I use a directory named "WallP"
and browse to it with the desktop\properties\wallpaper window.
