What is Wallpaper?
Wallpaper is the image on your desktop behind your icons.
Computers come set with wallpaper (usually branded for Microsoft,
Apple, etc.), but you can change the wallpaper to any image you
like. The key is to know your screen resolution and then select a
wallpaper at the appropriate size.
Instructions:
Windows users: Two options:
1) If using Internet Explorer: After clicking on one of the
wallpaper sizes listed below the thumbnail image, a large version
will open in a new browser window (make sure your pop-up blocker is
turned off). Then, right-click the graphic you want to set as your
wallpaper. From the pop-up menu that appears, choose Set as
Wallpaper/Background and use the Stretch option to fit your screen.
View your desktop to see the graphic displayed.
2) Alternatively, for more advanced users (and those using
browsers other than IE), right-click the image link and save it to
your computer. Then right-click on your desktop and select
Properties. Select the Desktop tab at the top and select Browse.
Find the image saved in your computer and select Open. The image
should preview in the box. Select either Stretch or Center in the
Position dropdown (depending which one looks better on your
desktop) and hit Apply to preview. If you like it, hit OK and
you've got a new Union desktop!
Mac OS X users: Three options:
1) Hold the CONTROL key and click the graphic you want to set as
your wallpaper. From the pop-up menu that appears, choose
Save/Download Image As... and save the image onto your computer.
Open up your System Preferences (usually from the Dock) and select
"Desktop". Locate the file you just saved and drag it directly onto
the mini-desktop in the preference pane you just opened. View your
desktop to see the graphic displayed.
2) If you're already using Safari, click on the image size you
want to download. A larger image will open in a new window (make
sure you disable your pop-up blocker) and then hit CONTROL and
click the larger image. Select Use as Desktop Picture.
3) Hold the CONTROL key and click the graphic you want to set as
your wallpaper. From the pop-up menu that appears, choose
Save/Download Image As... and save the image onto your desktop.
Then from your desktop, hit CONTROL and click the image. Select
Open With and choose Safari. In Safari, hit CONTROL and click the
image, then select Use as Desktop Picture.
More wallpaper images will be posted as schedules are
released.
