Wallpaper Tips

If your icons will not appear on your new wallpaper, you will need to adjust the color of the icons by going through the Properties > Appearance panel on your desktop. However, if you are using Windows 7, you do not have this option. Windows 7 has two colors, white and black. The color of the icons will adjust to the wallpaper you are using.
