[DESKTOP] SECTION
-----------------

The [desktop] section contains optional settings that control the
appearance of the screen background (desktop) and the positioning of
windows and icons on the screen.

The [desktop] section can contain the following settings:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
GridGranularity=<integer>
Default:   0
Purpose:   Specifies the incremental size (in logical units) of the
          grid that Windows uses to position icons and windows on the
          screen. The allowed range is 0 through 49. The grid changes
          in multiples of eight pixels.
To change: Choose the Desktop icon from the Control Panel window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pattern=<b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8>
Default:   None
Purpose:   Specifies a pattern that is used as a brush to paint the
          screen background. The eight numeric values define a bitmap
          eight pixels wide and eight pixels high. Each decimal value
          represents a byte, and each byte represents eight pixels.
          The following shows the effect of setting a bit:

          Setting   Effect
          -------   ------

          0         Sets the corresponding pixel to the background
                    color.

          1         Sets the corresponding pixel to the foreground
                    color.

To change: Choose the Desktop icon from the Control Panel window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TileWallpaper=<0-or-1>
Default:   0
Purpose:   If set to 0, the desktop wallpaper is centered on the
          screen. If set to 1, the wallpaper is tiled across the
          screen.
To change: Choose the Desktop icon from the Control Panel window.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wallpaper=<bitmap-filename>
Default:   None
Purpose:   Supplies the name of a bitmap file in the Windows
          directory. This bitmap appears on the screen background.
