Changing the background pattern

You can change the background pattern displayed on your screen by selecting bitmap or pixmap files.

• A bitmap is a picture or other graphical image that is stored as a series of 0's and 1's. Each character represents a single dot in the image. A bitmap can include only two colors.

• A pixmap is similar to a bitmap except it can include multiple colors.
