Active Desktop

[pcwisard]

I've made a very Simple active desktop using HTML and I keep on running into a problem.

I want to have a background picture that will fit to the screen, is there any way of doing that? The pics i put in there just repeate themselves currently

No. I am not familiar with Active Desktop, but in HTML there is no way to make the background stretch. The only option would be to make it into a picture rather than background and have that stretch across 100%. Then use positioning to put everything else on top of that image. But that is probably too complex.

Hi

Neither I know what Active Desktop is, but sounds like a Microsoft thing. If it is, probably supports Exporer-only features, like [tt]filter[/tt]. In that case setting the [tt]sizingMethod[/tt] to [tt]scale[/tt] would do it.

Active Desktop is an old MS thing. I thought it only existed in Win98 and possibly ME.

As far as I know they dropped it in XP as a 'not quite there' idea.

Actually I'm using windows 2000.

I create an HTML webpage in wordpad and used it as my desktop ....

I stand corrected. It seems to have prevailed through XP too although I've not seen nor heard anything of it since Win98.
