| Plain screen background (wallpaper) Can't see the forest for the trees |
| Several of my clients have asked me to remove the picture background on their opening screen and replace it with a solid color. They have difficulty seeing the icons against a picture background. You might want to try it too. To change your background to a solid color, follow these steps. RIGHT click on a blank area of your opening screen (the one you see when you turn on your computer). A shortcut menu will appear. LEFT click Properties. This will open the Display Properties dialog box. LEFT click the Desktop tab. In the lower left corner of the screen you will see a list of choices. Scroll all the way to the top of the list and LEFT click None. To the lower right of that box you will see Color:. Click the dropdown arrow beside the blank box and you will see a selection of colors. LEFT click the color you like and then click OK. Your screen may look weird for a moment, but it's in the process of making the change. Have you missed any of my previous tips? You can see them on my blog. Clic k here to see the list. If you see one you want to read, just click the name of the tip and it will open on your screen. You can even print it if you like. Tips like this, complete with diagrams, are found in both of my books, Taming Your Computer--The Simple Basics (for beginners) and Taming Your Computer--Beyond the Basics (intermediate level).
