This is where you can set the color or background of the screen.
If you want your monitor screen to be monochrome, then on the Color tab 1 select any color you like from the drop-down list (black, yellow, red, etc.). And in the field Background picture 2 click on the top line (no ) ... In this case, the selected color will appear on the monitor screen, which is visible in the middle of the tab. If you like this color, then click the apply button, and then OK. That's it - the monitor screen is painted in your favorite color.
But it will be more beautiful if the screen is not monochrome, but a background image is installed. The picture can be selected from the standard Windows set.

At the moment, you can see a standard Windows XP graphic called Serenity. After selecting a picture, you click the Apply button, and then OK and this picture will appear on your desktop - on your monitor screen.
But, after a while you will be bored with all the standard drawings and will want to find something new.
There are many pictures on CDs and on the Internet. You can choose a few drawings for yourself and then change them every week. To display such a picture, press the Browse button and use Windows Explorer to find the file with this picture on your computer. The selected file will appear in the list Wallpaper 2 Now press the Apply button, and then OK and your picture on the screen.
I draw your attention only to the fact that the drawing should be on the hard disk, not on the CD. That is, the picture you like must first be copied from the CD - disk, and then set it as a background picture.
But, perhaps, this will not seem enough to you. You would like to use your photos as background. This is also possible.
It is only desirable that the picture matches your screen resolution. If the screen resolution is 1024 x 768, then the photo size should be the same. Because if the photo is larger than the screen, then only part of the photo will be placed on the screen and not necessarily the best one.
If the size of the photo is smaller than the screen, then you will need to select an option in the Location 4 field. The photo will either have to be placed in the center or stretched or tiled with it on the screen, which, in any case, will not be very beautiful. This means that the photo must be prepared in advance.
