[germanNiklas]

Hello there,

first of all, my English is OK . . . . but it reaches its end in explaining this, hope you understand what my problem is ^^

My screen resolution is 1152 by 864 pixels

I have the following Wallpaper:

The position is "Stretch".

Here is a screenshot:

Now here is the Problem.
When i deactivate "Show Desktop Icons" so all Icons disappear my Wallpaper looks . . . different. Dont know the correct word for it. Like the gras for example, it looks so . . . pixel like. Argh i cant explain, here is a screenshot, i hope you see the difference:

It doesnt looks so "smooth" anymore.

Why is that?! Just because i deactivate the Icons?

Hope you guys/girls can help me.

If you ask me, now you're getting More Detail of the grass than blurred images.

Solution->put the icons back;)

Hehe
Someone told me the reso is to high and i should change it to my resolution i have on the desktop
will try that now, should work

The HIGHER the resolution the better the detail.

Turn your refresh rate up to the max. I bet it will look better at 85 MHz or higher if it will go there.
