At the end of 2016, our team got together for 3 days of strategizing: recapping what worked in mutual fund marketing and sales in 2016 and developing a plan for how to beat our goals in 2017. And now you know how to do it yourself too.A new year, a clean slate, a fresh start – at third party marketing firm Havener Capital Partners we are excited about 2017 and we hope you are too. I’m going to go back to “Fit” and while I’m in the Personalization area, change the color of my Launch Bar to match the photo colors – purple!

That’s a weird result, isn’t it? Turns out that the photo is considerably bigger than the resolution of the laptop display so Windows was shrinking the image to fit. Pretty similar, but the images are a bit distorted. How do these differ? Well, “Fill” is the default, so you’ve already seen that.

Plenty of data for a sharp, crisp image as your wallpaper.

Most digital cameras now produce images that work just fine, however, with 2000-4000 pixels in each dimension. A photo that’s 400×250 pixels might be perfect for an email message, but it’s going to look darn fuzzy on your 25-inch desktop monitor! In that regard, higher resolution, bigger images are all really important. The trick is to use a photo that’s going to look good. I mean, who wants your desktop to look the same as the gal in the next cubicle over?įortunately, Windows makes it crazy easy for you to take a photograph and turn it into your desktop wallpaper. They’re beautiful and designed for really big screens but they’re also generic.
