You can access your Display settings by right-clicking anywhere on the Desktop and then choosing Properties. You can also access these settings through theAppearance and Themes and Display icon in Control Panel.
You will now see the Display Properties window which has display settings arranged under five tabs - Themes, Desktop, Screen Saver, Appearance and Settings.
Themes
Under this tab you can choose a theme which will apply to all your Windows screen colours, icons and sounds.
Desktop
Click on this tab to choose a different desktop background image. Choose an image from the samples available, or Browse to locate another image on your computer.
You can also set the background at any time by right-clicking on an image in your web browser or in a folder, and selecting Set as Desktop Background.
Click Customize Desktop to open the Desktop Items window, which includes two tabs - General and Web.
On the General tab you can choose which shortcut icons to show on the desktop or use Desktop cleanup to remove items that haven't been used in a while.
The Web tab allows you to display a web page directly onto the desktop.
Screen Saver
Here you can choose a Screen saver which will appear when your computer has been idle for a specified amount of time.
These can help protect the image quality of the monitor if you regularly leave your PC for more than a few minutes. You can choose not to use a Screen saver if you find it annoying or if it interferes with other tasks.
If you select a Screen saver from the list you can see a preview and also set the idle time before it will start, and whether a password is required to use the PC when returning to the desktop - useful for privacy in an office or public environment.
You can also change the Power settings of your monitor here, including how long it should stay switched on if the PC is idle.
Appearance
Under this section you can change the style and colours of your Windows and buttons, and the size of your fonts.
