Put a Picture As a Background on My Computer
If you're tired of looking at the limited selection of desktop backgrounds that came with your operating system, you can choose any saved picture from your computer and set it as your new background. You can play around with the display settings and change the background color surrounding a centered desktop picture. If you're a Mac or Windows 7 user, select multiple pictures and set the desktop to change backgrounds after a certain time or create a slideshow.
