Some people prefer simple backgrounds that don’t obscure their desktop icons, and others prefer photos of family members, pets, or favorite places . Windows 7 comes with many desktop background images to choose from, including photographs and abstract art . You can use any of the photos that come with Windows, or a digital image of your own . Or, if you want to keep things simple, you can opt for a plain, colored background . You can preview each background on your desktop before actually applying it . Within any particular theme, you can use some or all of the associated desktop background images as a slide show, or you can select only one image . When displaying an image as your desktop background, you can specify the position of the image as follows: l Fill One copy of the image is centered on the screen . The image fills the screen horizontally and vertically, and maintains its original aspect ratio . Parts of the image may overrun the left and right sides or the top and bottom edges (but not both) . l Fit One copy of the image is centered on the screen . The image fills the screen horizontally or vertically, and maintains its original aspect ratio . Parts of the image may not fill the left and right sides or the top and bottom edges . l Stretch One copy of the image is centered on the screen .
