	Change the background color or add a bitmap to your desktop.
	Change the font used for your menus, title bars, and other elements.
	Select a different screen saver.

To change your display resolution

1. Right click with your mouse anywhere on your open desktop. A list will appear. Choose Properties at the bottom.
2. Click on the tab labled Settings.
3. Use the scroll bar labled Desktop Area to make your resolution larger or smaller.

Tips

	After you have selected the desired display resolution click on the Test button.  This ensures that you monitor and video display card can handle the new resolution.  After you have tested the resolution, and you find it works correctly, select OK.  You may be asked to reboot your computer.  If so, save your current work and reboot the computer.
	Note: If you see a scrambled screen during the test phase then your computer might not be able to handle the new resolution.  You can try adjusting the Refresh Rate to obtain your desired resolution but make sure you test each setting when it is changed.
