| 777257 | 2009-05-27 09:56:00 | Having an image on the desktop will take more CPU power each time it redraws compaired to a solid background. Also all this information is in memory.Right, I can see that. Does the file size of the image make a difference, or does windows "reformat" it to fit the desktop and make it an appropriate size? So for instance if I have a 200k and a 5mb version of the same image, will they both end up using the same amount of memory and cpu once Windows starts using them as wallpaper? | Tony (4941) | ||
| 777258 | 2009-05-27 10:29:00 | Yes the file size makes a difference. The image showing on the desktop is drawn from: C:\Documents and Settings\name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp Every time you change the background this Wallpaper1.bmp is updated. The more optmised the better if you must have a background image. |
