Looks nice. Doubt if it's something I'd ever use, though. I don't care about the functionality of my desktop. I just like them to look nice. Hehe.

Right Click>Properties>Desktop>Customize Desktop>Web. :Q

Thanks, I used LM's way it was quicker.

I tried that already but didn't think to click the Customize Desktop button, now I know.

If you currently have an active desktop taking up your whole screen, you can't right-click and get the display properties. You get the properties for the webpage. That's why I laid out the longer way.
