You can customize the desktop background in the following ways:
o Select an image to display on the desktop background. The image is superimposed on the desktop background color. The desktop back-
ground color is visible if you select a transparent image or if the image does not cover the entire desktop background.
o Select a color for the desktop background. You can select a solid color, or create a gradient effect with two colors. A gradient
effect is a visual effect where one color blends gradually into another color.
