Step 1
In order to change the desktop picture, you need to run the screen properties setting. Right-click on the desktop - select the "Properties" item from the context menu - in the window that opens, select the "Desktop" tab. On this tab you can choose any background image or change the color of the solid background.
Step 2
If you want to give the desktop a monochromatic look, then select the "Color" item on the "Desktop" tab - select any color from the drop-down list. In the "Wallpaper" field, you must specify the value "None". In order to roughly estimate this color, take a look at the monitor image on this tab. If you like the result, then click the "Apply" button and then "OK".

As a rule, a solid-colored desktop looks dull and does not give activity when doing any work on the computer. Therefore, instead of a solid color desktop, use colorful pictures to decorate your desktop. There are a huge number of such pictures. Several pictures are included in the standard set of the Windows XP operating system. To evaluate these pictures, select any item in the "Wallpaper" field - you will see the result of the selection on the monitor of this tab. After choosing a suitable pattern, click the "Apply" button and then "OK".
