One of the best things about the internet world is that some of the coolest things around can be availed by simple mouse clicks and totally free of cost! And just in case you were not aware of it yet, now you can get some of the most awesome wallpapers and screen savers totally free too! If you wish to learn how to make the most of the opportunity of decorating your desktop screen- with desktop wallpaper, then read ahead…
Start with making up your mind about what kind of wallpaper you want. Do you have any particular color in mind? (It is suggested you opt for such a color that does not make it tough for you to locate the icons on your screen, and does not hurt your eyes).
Once you have decided what you want, search using the right keywords in any of your favorite search engines. For instance, if you are looking for pink colored heart shapes, then typing ‘pink wall paper’ is not adequate enough. Instead type ‘pink hearts wallpaper’ to enhance your search results. It is recommended that you opt for such wallpapers that create a feel good factor in your mind. Such wallpapers especially help a great deal when you are having a monotonous day at work and need a break to clam your mind. A nice picture of say- a smiling baby can brighten up anybody in such cases! Now go to images and download your perfect picture!
However, if you wish to be creative and do something fun with the desktop wallpaper, a very good idea is to download a few wallpapers that are either totally contrasting or are very similar to each other, and make a collage out of it. Make sure to keep your image size in check while making this free wallpaper collage. Once it is completed, you can have your own personalized wallpaper!
For computer enthusiasts, who like their screens to look good all the time, you can try making your own theme too. Download your wallpaper, and get some ideas about its basic color shades and design pattern. Now search for a similar looking screen saver. Next, go to the ‘settings’ of your computer and change the basic color tones of the task bar, menu bar etc, to match with your wallpaper. This is not only fun, but also feels amazing when you realize that you have just created your own theme design on your computer. Similarly you can also change the basic font style, etc to match with your theme. For instance if your theme is cartoons, a comic style font would look perfect, whereas for a ‘horror theme, a more appropriate font would be something that looks suitably ‘creepy’!
To have more fun with your wallpaper, you can use paint and basic Photoshop tools to create something new out of the new. After all, the wallpaper with a desktop clock is one thing you would meet your eyes each time you are to turn on the computer. It surely pays to have something good to stare at – and have it make you feel good about yourself, doesn’t it?!
