Experience in setting wallpaper for Windows XP

Good wallpaper can bring us a good working mood, the followingArticleLet's talk about some classic wallpaper setting techniques.

1. Is the wallpaper in BMP or JPEG format good?

In Windows 9x, if the wallpaper format is not BMP but JPEG, you must enable Web Support for the desktop property to see the wallpaper effect. In Windows XP, the system can automatically process any image format. The author's suggestion is: when the physical memory is large, the BMP format image is used, because the JPEG format requires the built-in conversion support function of Windows XP, which will prolong the system startup time; when the physical memory is small, the image in JPEG format is used as the background, because the size of the same file in JPEG format is much smaller than that in BMP format.

2. Point to the path of the wallpaper

When surfing the Internet, you can see beautiful pictures. You can use Windows XP's built-in ie6.0 to directly set it as a wallpaper. However, we recommend that you save the image as a wallpaper first, because before saving the file, ie places the image in the Temporary File Buffer. If you clear the temporary ie data, this image is nowhere to be searched. In addition, some friends directly set the image as a wallpaper when browsing the image on the CD. The path of the wallpaper image is a optical drive. After the CD is taken out, the wallpaper will disappear.

3. What is better to stretch, tile, and center?

Stretch, tile, and center are three forms of wallpaper display. Stretching makes the image adapt to the screen resolution regardless of the original size. tiled images use the original size and are not automatically adjusted with the resolution, therefore, some large images can only display a portion of the upper-left corner at a resolution of 800 × 600. The center is also the original size of the image, but the middle part of the image must be highlighted, as a result, the edges around some large images disappear. It is recommended that you select as needed.
