Corel LINUX lets you customize the desktop's display and behavior. The Control Center lets you create up to eight virtual desktops. You can customize desktops by changing colors, typefaces, fonts, and the shortcut icons for each desktop. Customizing the video settings lets you adjust the color and clarity of the images that display on your screen. You can set the screen resolution, color depth, refresh frequency, and specify your monitor type. The Control Center also displays a summary of information about your monitor (auto-detected during installation), including the manufacturer's ID, video card, driver, and monitor type.
You can set a background color or wallpaper for your desktop, or you can choose preset or rotating colors and wallpaper patterns for backgrounds. The Common Backgrounds feature lets you set one color or two blended colors, or a wallpaper background for all virtual desktops. You can specify the amount of partition space (memory) that Corel LINUX uses to maintain the backgrounds. Background color schemes apply matching colors to all the parts of the window, like the active Title Bar, the text and the title text. Corel LINUX has preset color schemes you can choose from, or you can customize color schemes by choosing specific colors from the System or Custom Color menus.
You can choose from a number of pre-installed screen savers to apply to your desktop. You can customize the colors that appear in the screen saver, and change the speed at which the screen saver image moves on the screen. Testing a screen saver lets you see how it looks, before you apply it. Corner hot spots are areas on your computer screen that you use to quickly start the screen saver or the password protect feature, which increases your system security. When hot spots are enabled, moving the cursor to the specified "hot" corner starts the screen saver or password protect.
The Theme Manager lets you apply a theme to your desktop that coordinates colors and fonts on the desktop areas according to a common design style. A theme customizes the background or wallpaper, sounds, icons, window borders, and Title Bars according to the design style. You can choose from preset desktop themes, or apply a theme from another file source.
