Changing the Wallpaper on your Desktop

The background picture on your computer can be changed.

These instructions were written with the new Official Case Desktop Wallpaper in mind. While you can change your desktop wallpaper to just about any image file, this lovely jpg file of the Case logo on a pleasing low-contrast background is an easy way to display your Case pride and make your workstation look a little more official.

  3. You should have an option for 'background image' or 'wallpaper'
  4. Browse and select the image you downloaded.

For Macintosh OS X
