Windows 95 comes with a whole slew of ready-made wallpapers
from which to choose. But is there one you would like, if only it were a different colour? Using Paint, you can recolour any wallpaper.
Choose Start, Programs, Accessories, Paint, select Open under the File menu, and navigate your way to the C:\Windows folder. Select the wallpaper you'd like to recolour (an easy one is Rivets.BMP), then save it under a different name (you don't want to mess up the original).
Ready to start painting? First you need to be able to see what you're doing, so select Zoom under the View menu, and select Large Size. From there, pick a tool, pick a colour, and start colouring. (The easiest tools to use are the pencil, for individual dots, or the paint can, for larger areas.) Sure, it's tedious, but if it's your favorite wallpaper, it's worth it!
When you're finished colouring, be sure to select Save under the File menu. From now on, you'll be able to select it by name in the Display Properties dialog box.
(Note: Some wallpapers have very few colours in their palette,
meaning you don't have many options for recolouring.)
