Chapter 6: Customizing Windows

Adjusting the screen and desktop settings

Adjusting the color depth and screen area are two of the most basic display settings

you may need to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen background

and screen saver.

Adjusting the color depth

Color depth

is the number of colors your screen displays. Various image types require

various color depths for optimum appearance. For example, simple color drawings

may appear adequately in 256 colors while color photographs need millions of colors

to be displayed with optimum quality.
Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings. We recommend that you

use the 32-bit True Color setting at all times.
If the color in your images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have played

a game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting and return

it to 32-bit True Color, if necessary.

To change the color depth:

1 Click Start, then click Control Panel. The

Control Panel

window opens. If your

Control Panel is in Category View, click Appearance and Themes.

2 Click/Double-click the Display icon. The

Display Properties

dialog box opens.

3 Click the Settings tab.

Tip

If you are using a monitor, you can adjust the screen settings for

brightness, contrast, and horizontal and vertical image position using the

controls on the front of your monitor. For more information about these

adjustments, see your monitor’s user guide.
