Many users tend to use wallpapers to customize the look and feel of their operating system. Wallpapers come in all sizes and shapes but have one thing in common, they are normally image files that have a size of 100K and more. This is probably not a problem for most new computers but when you have a old machine you might want to fight for every byte that you can save somewhere. The alternative to those wallpapers are tiny wallpapers that have the exact same effect. Sure, they do not show objects or people but they are still nice to look at.
All you need to do is create a tiny image with the width and height of 2 pixels. Fill those pixels anyway you like and save the image as bmp. Now select the image as your wallpaper and make sure you select center and stretch wallpaper to fill the whole screen with it.You can also use other sizes like a size of 3*3, 4*4 or even 10*10 if you prefer those. This makes it possible to create even better gradients.
The above two images are examples of my desktop after applying the new wallpapers. Both have a size below 1K. I read about this before but used a forum thread at the donation coder website as reference.
