here is my process for getting an image background:\n\nfind an image on google that you like, i dont know what you are looking for. and then right click it and save the picture. then go to photobucket.com and upload the image there then go to http://www.mygen.co.uk/ and when it asks for a picture url, go to photobucket and copy the URL box right under the picture. and create a layout. my suggestion is that you find an image that would look good tiled OR find an image that would look good centered/ full screened. customized all you want!

If you took a picture of a blank wall, then one color value would be sufficient to characterize the picture, with no information loss.  As soon as you complicate the picture, things get interesting.\n\nMost compression algorithms do involve a loss of resolution, but they attempt to minimize it.

*pout* I didnt get anything for getting to level 2 either. \n\nFree song downloads would be a good little reward - better than wallpaper.\n\n*shrug* oh well

This is because the picture has just little amount of pixels. The quality and clearness of a picture depends on how much pixels it has. The more pixels it has, the higher it's quality. For disktop background, around 1280 * 800 pixels will be suitable. If u want to know how much pixels a picture has, right click on the picture and choos "properties". In properties box, u can see how much pixels it has. pixel = (PICture ELement)

In most cases you right-click the wallpaper and scroll down to "Save as," click this and you will get a window to save the wallpaper in, usually in My Pictures.

are you talking about uploading pictures? whenever I try to upload a pic from my "my pictures" folder it tells me I need to resize it...so I am going to assume that is what you are talking about. The way I get around it, is I open the picture, right click it, hit "copy", and paste it into "paint" program on my computer. Then I save it as a paint file, and upload it as a paint file. Works every time, and the picture is exactly the same.

As mentioned above the trick is to use no-repeat and a width set close to 100%. The problem with this approach is that unless you are using a high resolution photo, the image will look pretty grainy on browser windows used in conjunction with a high resolution desktop. When you do use a high resolution photo that looks good in large windows, then you are stuck having to load this very large file just for use as a background. No problem as long as whoever is loading it has a excellent broadband connection but it will turn off those with slower connections. The fact of the matter is that most people find background images distracting and they often make reading the text difficult. So you should seriously consider limiting the use of large background images.

Its due to the format of the picture sent e.g. jpeg bmp and others. \n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

the pictures are in the windows folder. where you go to change the wallpaper, click on browse, and then  right click on the files you don't want, and then click delete. you don't have to though, unless you just don't want anyone to see them, they won't hurt anything in the windows folder

First it helps if you know how to use Photoshop.\nTo put it simply\n--  In Photoshop set up a page that is set to the same size as your screen resolution, 800X600 or larger.\n--  Then you paint in the colors that you want on your background for your pictures.\n--  Open the picture files for your album covers (assuming you took pictures of them with a digital camera and uploaded them onto your computer).\n--  Copy each picture and paste it on top of your background image.  Keep doing that until all the pictures are where you want them.\n--  Save the file as either a JPEG (.jpg) or Bitmap (.bmp) image in a directory where you can find it.  The best place to put it is in the Windows Directory and save it your Wallpaper file.\n--  Go to the desktop and right click, on the drop down menu then select the properties menu.\n--  Go to the Background tab and select the browse button then find your image and click open.\n\nIf you don’t know how to use Photoshop then you need to learn how to use the select tool, the hand tool, and the cut and paste buttons.  You use a rectangular select tool to select your album covers then copy them.  Select the wallpaper blank image and paste the cover into to it.  Use the resizing tool to change the size and the hand tool to move it around.  Once you deselect the selection tool then the picture is put in place.  I suggest that you read the help files on these topics to get a better idea of how to use them.\n\nWhat you want to do is a fairly simple task, that a skilled person can do in a matter of minutes.\n\nWebshot is a program that switches thet wallpaper from a image directory.  However, it uses a lot of system resources and the IT professional that I know removes it from any computer he finds it on.
