Instructions
TIP 1:
For PC users, click on the thumbnail which is the right size
for your monitor. After the picture has finished loading, right-click
on the image and choose "Set as Wallpaper" (see picture
above).
TIP 2:
If you don't know your screen size, right mouse click on the
desktop and c
hoose "Properties".
You will get a window similiar to the one above. Now, choose
the tab for "Settings" in the top right hand corner.
Towards the bottom right you should see the size of your screen
area in pixels. The picture to the left shows our monitor is
large and so we should pick the picture which is 1024x768. Now,
click on the tab in the top left hand corner called "Background"
(see picture above). This is where you would normally go to choose
a picture from your hard disk to use as wallpaper. If you click
on "Browse" you can choose any picture on your hard
disk for the wallpaper. You then have the choice to display it
as "Center", "Tile" or "Stretch".
The Beach wallpaper has been designed to fit your screen exactly.
If you choose a picture that is too small and then "stretch"
it, then the quality won't be so good. Make sure you choose "Center"
and then click on "Apply" in the bottom right hand
corner.
TIP 3:
Are the icons covering parts of the picture that you want to
see? Most people have the icons in a straight line on the left
hand side of the screen. But it is possible to arrange them where
you like. On the desktop, right click the mouse and choose "Arrange
Icons". In the picture above there is a tick to the left
of "Auto Arrange". This means that the icons will automatically
line up in a straight line on the left. If you want to be able
to re-arrange the icons to where you like, then select "Auto
Arrange". This will then remove the tick mark.
TIP 4:
If you don't use some of the icons on your desktop then just
delete them! One way to do this is to right mouse click on the
un-wanted icon and then choose "Delete" (see picture
above).
