Windows 10 – Personalize Desktop and Colors

Personalize Desktop in Windows 10 is very easy and full of intresting options.

We can do it in serveral ways as in the prevous Windows versions.

The quicker is the right click on desktop and then “personalize”

If you like to make thinks complicated you can go on

Start/Settings/Personalization

 

Here we go, now you are in Personalization window
Good!!! Now the menu is easily understood.

Background

Here you can choose your background image for your desktop. In the first option select which kind of background you prefer: Picture, Slideshow or SolidColor. Then you need to browse your PC to select the picture you want as background or a folder with the picture you want as slideshow (in case of slideshow you have to indicate the time before a picture change), if you choose SolidColor you just need to select the color.
In the end “Choose a fit” to indicate how the picture will be fit in the desktop.

Colors

This menù let you choose the color for windows, start menù and startbar. You just need to select one color or (as per this picture) you can select “Automatically pick an accent color from my background” and the color will be chosen automatically form the desktop background.
In the end you can decide if you want your color to be applied also to taskbar and if you want start manu and taskbar traspent.

Lock Screen

This is the background picture that appears when you lock your PC or notebook, as background menù you can select a picture or a slideshow.
