haiku/docs/userguide/en/preferences/prefs-backgrounds.html
Joachim Seemer 077a475a14 * Added docs of applications:
CDPlayer and CodyCam (both work in progress), DeskCalc
* Started installing.html.
* Added a screenshot of Glyph+Subpixel rendering to Appearance prefs.
* Mentioned new setting "Monospaced Fonts Only" glyph hinting in Apperance prefs
* Mentioned sysinfo and listdev in bugreports.html as pointed out by scottmc.
* Some tweaks to the Haiku-doc.css.
* Put a link to http://www.haiku-os.org/community into welcome.html,
  removed the "(online)".
* Reorganized the file hierarchy to accommodate future translations. See thread:
  http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-doc/Organizing-translations-of-User-GuideWelcome-Package.
* Added a userguide/languages.html that will serve as entry for the different
  translations.
  Since the welcome page is more or less only one page, we'll find another
  solution for that when the first translations are available.

<p>You can set a color or an image as background for every folder and the Desktop for every workspace.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<img src="../../images/prefs-images/backgrounds.png" alt="backgrounds.png" width="539" height="282" />
<p>The top drop-down menu specifies if your changes are applied to the current workspace, all workspaces, a specific folder or as default for every new folder.</p>
<p>Below that you can assign an image or select <i>None</i> if you want simply a colored background.</p>
<p>If you are using an image, you have to decide on the placement:</p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr><td><i>Manual</i></td><td>&#160;</td><td>lets you specify the coordinates. You can drag the picture around in the preview to the left or enter <i>X</i> and <i>Y</i> manually.</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>Center</i></td><td>&#160;</td><td>centers the picture in the middle of the screen.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="onelinetop"><i>Scale to fit</i></td><td>&#160;</td><td>enlarges the picture with no regard to its aspect ratio until it fills the screen.</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>Tile</i></td><td>&#160;</td><td>fills the screen by repeating the picture.</td></tr>
</table>
<p>If you are using an image you can activate <i>Icon label outline</i> which will put an thin contour around an icon's label.</p>
<p>If an icon label's actual text is black or white depends on setting of the color picker. A dark color sets the text to white, a light color to black. So, if you assign a very bright image to the background, you should also set the color picker to a bright color in order to have icon labels readable in black. (Or use the outline option above.)<br />
The selected color is also reflected in the <a href="../workspaces.html#applet">Workspaces applet</a>, which ignores images as backgrounds.</p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><i>Revert</i></td><td>&#160;</td><td>brings back the settings that were active when you started the Backgrounds preferences.</td></tr>
<tr><td><i>Apply</i></td><td>&#160;</td><td>sets your changes.</td></tr>
