You can use Thing desk's configuration to display desk background,
or this basic method below:


XaAES is capable of displaying a wallpaper in all colour depths and
resolutions. However, *setting* a wallpaper is slightly tedious.
It's done by pressing a keyboard combination which takes a snapshot
of the current screen and use it as desktop background. Now, you
probably don't want your GEM desktop as wallpaper, so you need a
program that can display a nice picture in fullscreen, and then
set the background.

1. Display a picture with zView. It's recommended to use a picture
   with the same proportions as your screen. Note: The FireBee
   wallpapers in various proportions and resolutions can be found
   in c:\mint\wallp\.
2. Display it in fullscreen by pressing <F10>.
3. Press the following keyboard combination:

   Control+Alt+":"

   You might have to press Shift to get the ":", e.g. Shift+".". In
   that case the keyboard combination will be Control+Alt+Shift+".".

Close zView. The picture you just displayed in fullscreen is now your
desktop background.

Please note that this background will only be used in the current
colour depth and resolution. If you switch to another resolution you
will have to repeat the steps above if you want to keep the wallpaper.
