* Easier Way! Right-click empty space on your desktop > select properties (desktop properties) > Settings Tab > Adjust Screen Resolution slider
Free 3D wallpaper tip: If you want to create a one-of-a-kind, original desktop wallpaper for your computer, here are some tips:
1. Start with a high resolution picture or image 700 pixels high.
2. Avoid screen captures from videos that are no DVD quality. Enlarging low resolution pictures is not a good idea as image degradation is noticeable.
3. Try getting free images from Media Miner and Google Image Search.
4. If your image has artifacts (small uneven squares of color) try cleaning them off first. If you can get a good clean image, better.
5. Choose colors that go well together. A desktop wallpaper is really a work of art and should be treated as such.
6. Do not overly compress your image when saving it. A 1024x768 pixel image is generally 100kb.
7. Be prepared to spend a lot of time creating your wallpaper. If you know how to use Photoshop, experiment with various filters and effects.
8. The purpose of desktop wallpapers is to not only to beautify your desktop, it is also a reflection of your personality. A simple, clean background reflects a well organized mind.
