WinXP wallpaper set unique insights

Many friends like to load beautiful wallpapers for the system, but you know that the wallpaper settings are also very particular, have a certain impact on the speed of the system and the convenience of operation

Wallpaper is good with BMP or JPEG format

In Windows 9x, if the wallpaper format used is not BMP format, but JPEG format, the desktop property must be enabled with Web support to see the wallpaper effect smoothly; In Windows XP, the system automatically processes any image format. The author's suggestion is: when the physical memory is large, use BMP format pictures, because JPEG format requires Windows XP built-in conversion support function, it will lengthen the system startup time; when there is less physical memory, use JPEG format The picture is used as a background because the same file is much smaller in JPEG format than in BMP format.

Note the pointing path of the wallpaper

When you surf the web, you can see beautiful pictures. You can set it as wallpaper directly with IE6.0 built in Windows XP. However, it is recommended that you save the picture first, and then set it as a wallpaper, because before saving the file, IE puts the picture in the temporary file buffer. If you clear the IE temporary data later, the picture will be nowhere to be found. In addition, some friends directly set it as a wallpaper when browsing the pictures on the CD. At this time, the path of the wallpaper picture is the CD-ROM drive. When the CD is taken out, the wallpaper will disappear.

Stretching, tiling, and centering

Stretching, tiling, and centering are three forms of wallpaper display. Stretching is to adapt the image to the screen resolution, regardless of the original size; tiling uses the original size of the image, and does not automatically adjust with the resolution, so some large images can only display the top left at 800×600 resolution. Part of the corner; and centering also uses the original size of the picture, but to ensure that the middle part of the picture is highlighted, then the edges of the large picture are gone. It is recommended that friends make choices as needed.
