→Creating a Solid or Graded Background
If you prefer a background consisting of a solid color, simply select the top left hand sample in the Background selection window, make sure the ''Colors'' selection box is set to ''Solid'' and click on the color box to select a color.
The background can also be created by specifying a color gradient transition from one color to another. The gradient may be horizontal or vertical. With the blank wallpaper option selected change the ''Color'' menu to a ''Vertical'' or ''Horizontal'' Gradientgradient. Using the two color boxes , specify the start and end colors. The desktop will then create a background image based on these settings. For example, the following figure shows a horizontal gradient from red to blue:
