Each system has it’s own way of accessing your Display options. Find your system below for instructions on how to access your Display options.

- What is the difference between the “Photography” images and the “Wallpaper” images?
The only difference is the classification. Any of the images can be used for wallpapers, or saved to your computer if you want to create your own slide show.
- When I set my wallpaper what does the “stretch” option do?
“Stretch” will adjust the image you are downloading to your monitors correct resolution settings.
- Can I use a smaller image than my screen resolution?
You can, but you will need to switch the option from “stretch” to “center”. This option will center the image on your desktop, and you can select what color you want for the area around the image.
- Why does the image look so pixilated on my desktop?
That could be caused by two different problems. When the image was downloaded it was taken from the thumbnail image instead of the full size image, which means you have a small version of the image. If your setting is on stretch, it will increase the image to your resolution size, causing it to look pixilated. You can fix this by either downloading again making sure you are using the full size, or change your setting to “center”.
