Applying a color scheme
A color scheme is a set of colors that you can apply to your Windows environment. You can change the appearance of the desktop, windows, dialog boxes, and other Windows components by selecting a new color scheme.
If you do not want to use the color schemes that Windows provides, you can create and save your own schemes.
Changing the desktop background
The Windows desktop background can be changed to either a picture or HTML document. Windows provides several background pictures. You also can use pictures or HTML documents that you have created or retrieved from other sources.
Important
If Active Desktop is enabled and you have chosen to display Web content, the standard desktop background will be partially or completely hidden, so you may not be able to see changes you have made in the background. For more information about Active Desktop, see Windows online help.
Selecting a screen saver
An image may get burned in on your monitor screen if you leave your computer on for long periods of time without using it. You should use a screen saver to avoid this damage.
You can also use a screen saver to prevent others from viewing your screen while you are away from your computer.
WIndows supplies a variety of screen savers that you can choose from, and many more are available from the Internet and as commercial products.
