Why not make adjustments with the wallpaper file you wish to employ using GIMP? Sorry. New > Rejected |

I agree with Alexio that this technique is very important to set overall monitor brightness and visual comfort. What I was meaning, though, is that, for any setting, the overblown wallpapers obscure even the visual icon distinction. I think that wallpapers are intended to serve as a pleasant background, where the desktop icons (the "foreground") pop out to be visually distinctive. If a too loud background merge with the foreground or obscure it - or competes with it - it's not accomplishing its task. And since it's a very personal judgement, it would be fine to have a setting. | |

Sometimes the same wallpapers look too dark or too bright for different desktop computers. A solution is to set contrast and brightness differently on the computer monitors. A rough way to get a good result is to set your monitor's contrast setting to 100% - the maximum contrast. Also, set the brightness to anywhere between 50 and 65%. Just try to keep blacks looking fairly black and whites looking fairly white. That should help you! |
