(fun stufff) WALLPAPER CREATION

Click here to show the WallPaper Creation Screen.

It's not uncommon to want a photo that you are looking at to be your background WallPaper image. Sure, you can save the photo in the proper graphic format and then move it to the proper Windows' folder and then go into your video properties and then set some settings. BUT it's so much easier doing it in Photo Jockey.

Just bring up the tools menu or the File menu from the main menu and then select the "Use Current Photo As Windows WallPaper" menu item.

You will see a screen with the following options:

WALL PAPER STYLE:
This control allows you to select how you want the photo to appear on your screen. You will see in the preview just how it would look if you were to click the OK button.

RESIZE TO FIT:
This will take real large photos and SHRINK to fit the screen size, OR it will take real small photos and ENLARGE to fit the screen size.

KEEP ASPECT:
As you resize the photo to fit the screen, you can keep the aspect ratio which will keep the photo looking normal. If you DON'T keep aspect ratio, then you run the risk of the photo ending up looking too FAT or too THIN.

DIGITAL ZOOM:
If you have a real tiny photo, then digital zoom will enlarge it with smoothing so that it still looks pretty good instead of real blocky and jagged.

256 COLOR (OLDER SYSTEMS):
If you have your video system set to 256 colors, then you will probably WANT the photo converted to 256 colors. Then the photo will look great on your screen. Otherwise it will look ugly, like a paint-by-number painting.

HELP:
This brings up this help topic.

OK:
This will apply your changes to the operating system and your desktop screen will show the new settings.

CANCEL:
This will cancel out and make NO changes to your screen.
