Windows Tip: Display Settings

Customize Display settings to get the look that meets your satisfaction.
Have you ever wanted to change the look of your monitor. If you still think wallpaper is only found on walls, you should explore your display settings.

Jazz up your monitor with this tip:

In Start Menu, select Settings.
Click Control Panel.
Click Display.
 

In Display Properties you can alter the Background, Screen Saver, Effects, Settings, and Appearance. You can also click on Output Device and Display Information to find exactly which type of monitor you have.

Background
Experiment with your pattern and your wallpaper. You can center the wallpaper, which puts the wallpaper in one box in the middle of your screen. Or you can tile the wallpaper which effectively covers the entire screen.

Screen saver
Opt for a scrolling marquee to show off your witticism to co-workers and family members. Click the drop-down menu for screen saver choices. Choose whichever image strikes your fancy, then hit settings to adjust the frequency. If you decide to have a scrolling message, click settings to type it in.

Effects
Change your desktop icons or hide icons when you view your desktop as a webpage. You can also adjust the visual settings. Choose large or small icons, colors, and so forth.

Settings
Choose your color pallette, size of icons, or the size of the display screen on your monitor. Choose Advanced Properties to enhance monitor performance.

Appearance
Change the color scheme and font for different areas of your display. For example, change your desktop to red. Browse the drop-down menu to find what you need to change
