How to use an image as a desktop wallpaper.

Firstly you need to know what your current screen resolution is. Microsoft Windows TM users can simply right click there current desktop background and select "properties". Mac and Linux/Unix users please consult your documentaion.

This will bring up the "Display Properties" menu. Select the "Settings" tab from the top. Half way down and on the left is the current screen resolution that you are using. In the example below the resolution is set to 1024x768.

Now that you know your screen resolution you simply select the size from the menu that looks like the one below, which corresponds as closely as possible to that size. If an exact match does not exist you can still use the wallpaper but it will be stretched or have a border at the top and bottom.

This will take you to your chosen image at the correct size. Next right-click the image itself with your mouse this will bring up a dialogue box like below.

Depending on your operating system / browser the working might be different however you need to select the option which says either set as background or set as wallpaper.

This should add the image as your current wallpaper.
