Windows Vista Ultimate Wallpaper Biography

Practically any image can be used as wallpaper, so choices can get overwhelming. Windows Vista Ultimate Wallpaper Series Pack offers users a chance to simplify their desktop image with a sleek Vista-themed look.

This freeware has a very simple way of viewing the wallpaper. Users must first choose between wide-screen and full-screen wallpaper. The images are basically the same, but are stretched in different ways. Each option holds eight variations on the same theme. Each can be clicked to view more closely. The general look of the wallpaper is a glossy black background with white streaks, almost like a series of spotlights are cutting through the darkness. Starting at the upper-right-hand corner and sweeping into the lower middle is a shiny blue streak, much like the spotlights in the black, but more pronounced. In addition, a little green is added into this streak. Each of the eight options has a subtle variation on this theme, but the biggest difference is that two of them have Windows Vista shields embedded into the blue light.

Once you have decided on a wallpaper design, just go into your computer's control panel and proceed to change the wallpaper as you normally would, but browse for Windows Vista Ultimate Wallpaper. We highly recommend this download for anyone interested in adding a sleek Vista theme to their desktop.. The background is like a canvas on top of which characters and graphics are placed. Some monitors allow you to control the color or shading of the background.

The first thing you need to consider in choosing a new desktop is the resolution and shape of your screen. (If you already know, these, skip ahead to the next paragraph.) Resolution means the number of pixels on your screen. To find out your resolution in Windows XP, right-click on an empty spot on your desktop, click on Properties, and then click on the Settings tab in the window that appears. In Windows Vista, right-click on the desktop, click on Personalize, and then click on Display Settings. In the lower left you should see your screen's resolution displayed as two numbers: the width of your screen in pixels, and its height. While Windows will let you use an image of any size as your desktop, it will look best if you use one that has the same width and height in pixels as your screen or greater. Whether you have a widescreen monitor or not is also worth considering. While a widescreen desktop will still work on a standard (non-wide) screen, and vice versa, some elements might get cut off at the edges. Now that you know what size and shape of desktop you're looking for, you can hit the desktop sites and find one that suits you.

Most have a Download button on the left that will let you the full-sized image in one or more resolutions, often in a ZIP or RAR file.

If you're fond of photographs for your desktop, popular photo-sharing site Flickr is a great place to look. A quick search for the term desktop turns up thousands of results.

Once you've clicked on the thumbnail of an image you like, you can click on the "All Sizes" button with the magnifying glass icon to get the full-sized image.

As the online encyclopedia that has its fingers in everything, it should come as no surprise that Wikipedia has its own desktop gallery.
