How do I use the desktop pictures on my Computer?
We have two formats of desktop pictures available for download this year. The Fullscreen version is intended for standard 4:3 ratio displays. The Fullscreen desktop will work best on screens that have a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels, 1024 x 768, and 1280 x 1024. The Widescreen desktop will work best on the newer wide-format displays that have a 16:9 ratio. Displays that have this format will have resolutions of 1024 x 640, 1280 x 800, or 1680 x 1050.
Choose Fullscreen or Widescreen depending on which monitor format you have. Your operating system can scale the image for best fit.
