Am I missing something here? I followed the directions in the article “Customize your Desktop” step by step to make a template for future use. However, I can’t seem to get mine to come out centered in the border. My screen resolution is 1920X1200
Any help is welcomed.

Do this involve dragging a layer into a window? Hold down shift to auto center an image. Maybe. I should read the article before giving advice.

I made a great desktop template and added all my grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Now whenever I open my computer they are all there to put a smile on my face. Thank you for this tutorial.

This was a great tutorial. I have made several desktops, one with our resident frog Fergie and one with some lilies in my garden. I plan on doing more with photo’s of the grand kids.

Thanks for this tutorial….now I can display any of my photos and able to see all my shortcuts clearly. I’ve already created a few of these so I can change this up frequently!

How do you position the desktop icons where you want them on the wallpaper edges?

Turn off auto arrange. Search your help file or the web for “auto arrange desktop” to get help for mac or windows
