Creating Desktop Wallpaper

</phtml>
Desktop wallpaper can be created using the button on the main toolbar as shown above, or using the menu option in the Image Viewer.

Using the Toolbar Button
You can create desktop wallpaper directly from the main window using the toolbar button. Simply select the file you wish to use (it should be highlighted), and click the 'Wallpaper' button on the toolbar.

You will be prompted to choose either Single Image or Tiled (more detail on this below). Make your selection, and your wallpaper is complete.

Using the Image Viewer
If you want to make adjustments to an image before using it on your desktop, open the file in the Image Viewer by double clicking on it. Now perform any image editing functions you would like.

Once you are satisfied with your image, select Wallpaper from the View menu. You will need to choose between tiled or single image (more detail on this below). Once you have made that choice, your wallpaper will be in place.

There is no need to save your changes for the wallpaper to work. However, if you want to use the adjusted image for anything else, you will need to save it.

Tiled vs. Single Image Tiled Wallpaper
This style places the image at the upper left corner of the desktop, and repeats the image (edge-to-edge, top to bottom and left to right) to cover the entire desktop. Each tile will be the size of the original image. If you have a small image, this may look better than enlarging it.

The tiled wallpaper style is best suited for patterns and small images which look good when placed side by side. Complex images may create a cluttered or complex look.

Single Image Wallpaper
This style displays the image in the center of the screen and does not repeat the image. Single image wallpaper is ideal for larger images which fill most or all of the screen. Any space which is not filled by the wallpaper will be filled using the desktop color specified in your Windows Desktop Properties.

Removing Wallpaper Click on the 'Wallpaper' toolbar button and select Remove. Optionally, you can choose Remove Wallpaper from the Utilities menu. Your desktop will be returned to the solid color or pattern specified in your Windows Desktop Properties.
