Edit Background Patterns

Want to make your own background pattern for your desktop? Click the desktop with the right mouse button, choose Properties, and take a look at the Patterns list on the Background tab. Pick one that looks like it might be fun to change, such as Scottie, and click the Edit Pattern button. Two things first, though: Make sure (None) is selected for Wallpaper, and if your desktop has a black background, you'll need to switch it to another color by clicking the Display Properties' Appearance tab and changing it in the Color dropdown menu.

The pattern is nothing more than a grid of black or colored boxes. Click a box, and it toggles between black and your desktop's background color. The nice thing is that you get to see your changes right in the Sample box as you work. When you're done, give the pattern a new name (unless you want to overwrite the old one), click Add, then click Done.

Is your favorite dog a Doberman instead of a Scottie? Make the tail and legs longer, and you've got a whole new look!
