The Windows operating system provides a function of so-called themes, one of which the user sees on the desktop of his computer.
Before moving on to topics, let's clarify that there are different versions of Windows 7.
How to find out your version, I wrote
Everything that is written below about how to change the desktop on Windows 7, NOT related to Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic. There is one desktop background and it is NOT subject to correction or customization.
A theme is a collection of external parameters of operating systems (OS):
- design of the Start menu and taskbar,
- color design of all windows,
- view of icons on the desktop,
- background picture,
- etc.
All of these options usually have a consistent style for all details in a particular theme. Thus, by activating a specific theme, you can immediately change the design of Windows as a whole. Usually the user makes an exception only for the desktop background.
The full set of settings included in the design theme is as follows:
- color and background image (photography) of the Desktop;
- screensaver;
- icons for standard icons (recycle bin, Computer, My Documents, etc.);
- set for cursor;
- fonts, window style, taskbar design;
- sounds indicating various events in the system.
How to change desktop on Windows 7
We use the context menu. To do this, right-click on an empty space on the Desktop (where there are no icons) and select “Personalization”.
If you do without a context menu, then in the Start menu you should select “Control Panel”, and in it click on “Personalization”.
Rice. 1 “Personalization” window, allowing you to select a theme for the Windows 7 Desktop
The topic that is used is always highlighted with a frame (1 in Fig. 1). Before making any changes, you need to pay attention to what happened before, and it is advisable to remember it so that you can return to it if necessary. Don't rush to change everything at once.
You can create your own theme by setting the necessary parameters in the “Personalization” window (Fig. 1). To do this, at the bottom of the window you need to select a category to edit (Window Color, Table Background, etc.) and make the necessary changes. To save all settings, you must use the “Save Theme” link, after which in a new window you will need to specify the name of the created theme and click OK. After this, the new theme will always be available in the Personalization window. But many users, like me, prefer to use ready-made themes for their desktop.
To change the “old” theme on your computer to another theme, in the “Personalization” window (Fig. 1) you just need to select the theme you like by clicking on it with the mouse. All affected settings are applied instantly (you don’t even need to click anything), so you can quickly evaluate the changes. After closing the window, the selected theme will remain.
Among the themes offered (Fig. 1) there are “sophisticated” Aero themes, which are distinguished by the use of all the graphical capabilities of Windows 7. There are simplified themes that are less demanding on the hardware resources of the computer.
For example, if you select a theme called Classic, you can see a combination of the seventh version with Windows 2000 - strict windows and the words Start on the button of the same name.
At the bottom of the “Personalization” window (Fig. 1), you can set the following parameters:
- desktop background – 2 in fig. 1,
- window color – 3 in Fig. 1,
- sounds – 4 in Fig. 1,
- Screen Saver – 5 in Fig. 1.
Selecting a desktop background
Open the “Personalization” window by right-clicking on an empty space on the Desktop (Fig. 1). In this window, click on the “Desktop Background” link (2 in Fig. 1). The Desktop Background window will open:
Rice. 2 Selecting a desktop background
You can expand the “Image location” drop-down list (1 in Fig. 2) and select one of the following options:
- Solid colors
- Windows desktop backgrounds (2 in Fig. 2),
- Image library,
- The most popular photos.
You can search for a desktop background among these options. Using the “Browse” button (2 in Fig. 2), you can select a folder with your image (photo) on your computer and use it as a desktop background. Such a folder is automatically added to the “Image location” list (1 in Fig. 2).
The “Image Position” list (3 in Fig. 2) allows you to position the picture on the desktop using one of the following options:
- Filling (the picture will be stretched across the screen, the edges may be cut off),
- By size (when the picture is on the entire screen, but the edges of the screen can be spoiled by stripes with the background color),
- Stretch (the picture will stretch to fit the screen, but the proportions will be distorted),
- Tile (when the design is copied across the entire screen, much like a tile on a wall),
- Centered (the picture will be in the center of the screen, the background protrudes along the edges approximately like a backing).
If you check the box (4 in Fig. 2) “When running on batteries, pause the slide show to save power,” this will allow you to avoid rapid consumption of your laptop batteries.
Using the “Change picture every” drop-down list (5 in Fig. 2), you can set the time interval after which you will switch to a different background picture.
How to make your photo as a background on your desktop
You can use a photograph or any image in .bmp, .gif, .jpg format as a background. You can take a photo in advance
- Place a photo or other drawing in the Pictures folder.
- Right click on the photo.
- Select the “Set as Desktop Background” command from the context menu that appears.
Window color and appearance
In the “Personalization” window (Fig. 1), you can click on the “Window color” link (3 in Fig. 1). The “Window Color and Appearance” window will open (Fig. 3):
Rice. 3 Window color and appearance when using Windows Aero style
In Fig. Figure 3 shows that the sky color is active on the computer (1 in Fig. 3). Active means that this color is set on the computer desktop.
You can select your own window color by clicking on the “Show color settings” link (2 in Fig. 3). The Hue, Saturation, and Brightness sliders will then appear. By moving them, you can change the corresponding parameters. All changes take effect immediately. However, if you close the window using the Cancel button, the previous settings will be set again.
Rice. 4 Window for customizing the design of individual elements
Here you can evaluate with a master's eye many of the features of the selected desktop theme. To do this, pay attention to “Element”, where there is a drop-down list (1 in Fig. 4). Select an element and after that you will see that you can change its size, color and font (2 in Fig. 4).
But you shouldn’t get carried away with changing elements, because not all of them are equally useful. But if everything has been changed beyond recognition, then it is better not to try to manually return the previous settings, but to choose one of the ready-made standard themes.
Sound selection
Rice. 5 Sound window with Sounds tab open
In Fig. Figure 5 shows that the program event “Login to Windows” (1 in Fig. 5) corresponds to the sound “Login to Windows.wav” (2 in Fig. 5). If you click on “Check” (3 in Fig. 5), you can hear and possibly recognize the sound when you log into Windows on your computer.
You can completely remove the sound for a specific program event(s) if it is annoying. To do this, in the “Sounds” list (2 in Fig. 5), you should select the very first option “No”.
If you click on the “Browse” button (3 in Fig. 5), then find a suitable sound on your computer, you will have your own sound for a particular event. You should not get carried away with changing sounds, because long and loud melodies can have a bad effect on the operation of the computer.
Screensaver
What is a “Splash Screen” (5 in Fig. 1)? This is the picture that appears on the computer when the computer is idle, when the user does not press the keyboard, mouse or touch screen.
Some users sometimes set a password for the screensaver so that the information on the screen cannot be seen by a stranger. How to do it?
In the “Personalization” window, click on the “Screen Saver” link (5 in Fig. 1). Check the box next to “On resume, display logon screen”. Then, when you exit Screen Saver mode, the password entry screen will appear. Once you enter your password, you will be able to see your screen.
To remove the screensaver, just press any button on the keyboard or move the mouse.
However, this method does not work if a password is set on the screensaver. Because without a password, a stranger will not remove the screensaver (by the way, neither will you). The main thing is not to overdo it with passwords (for some reason they are forgotten, lost, etc.) and not to forget the password for the screensaver yourself.
I don’t use a screensaver, I don’t use passwords, I use ready-made desktop themes. But each user determines the degree of convenience, protection and security for his computer independently, with all the ensuing consequences.
