Should I change the Desktop Wallpaper to avoid pixel burning?

Hi there.
I noticed that my old 30-inch Cinema Display had pixel burning becasue I had the same Desktop Wallpaper all the time, now I have a Thunderbolt Display and I want to avoid this to happen.
Should I setup the desktop wallpaper to change every x amount of time? or is it just my imagination and anyway the pixels just dim and burn with the years?
Thanks!

I don't know what Apple says but I say YES.
I change my desktop wallpaper every few days because of this.
I never expierenced pixel burning btw but it's better to be safe then sorry right?

  • On my macbook pro, where is the file for the original default desktop wallpaper? ...and if i replace this will it change the default wallpaper?

    Whenever I lock my screen on my mac (by closing the lid) the login screen I see on reopening my computer is a faded version of my desktop image (which is normal, and fine) however when I close my laptop while it's in fullscreen mode (when I'm using a web browser or other application in full screen) the lock screen displays the default desktop image, which is what i'm trying to change. My macbook has always done this.
    My computer is running Mac OS X version 10.7.3
    I've been looking for a way to change the default wallpaper on my mac, so that when i lock my screen in full screen mode the lock screen displays my selected wallpaper image (the same one as is on my desktop) instead of the default (andromeda galaxy). Can anyone please provide me with the location of the default image file (if it's even accessible) or maybe even provide me with a way to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Mr. Wog,
    My guess is that once you see an estimate for replacement for hundreds of dollars, those scratches won't look too bad anymore. There are products to cover the outer casing, and some people put stickers on, or even paint (I don't recommend either, but ymmv). Good luck.

  • After using firefox to set the desktop wallpaper i cannot change the wallpapre without using firefox

    i cannot change my desktop wallpaper unless i am online using firefox

    Open a image in windows 7 and right click choose set as wallpaper.
    if you think its firefox problem, try in safemode. and try the above line
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Should I change the pricing procedure in SD ?

    Hhello
    we are running sales orders with a certain pricing procedure now for a long time. There are a lot of change requests for this pricing procedure, including structural changes like new sums and changes of positioning of a conditon type within the procedure. Should I change the existing pricing procedure to meet the new requirements or should I create a new procedure with a complete new structure, sums etc ?
    Please advice. What are possible problems, which can occure in one or the other method.
    Best regards and thanks for your help
    Rauno

    Hi Rauno,
    You should definitly copy the current pricing procedure and make your changes to the copy.
    The only disadvantage is that you can't mix old and new flows into e.g. the same billing document ( = pricing procedure is split criterium ).
    But the BIG advantage is that all your old flows will not get inconsistent 100% guaranteed ( when you 'look' at them, or do e.g. VA02 on an old flow etc..)

  • How do I change the desktop picture on *all* windows with Lion?

    I'm sure I'm just missing a simple setting, but ...  I changed the desktop background to something I found I thought I'd like, using right click/use as desktop background.  Didn't like it.  Went to System prefs to change it, and selected the Pond Reeds pic that comes preloaded with Lion.  Great!  Except it only changed it to that in one workspace.  All the others still have the background I don't like, and going to each workspace, right clicking and choosing "change desktop picture" just shoots me back to the system prefs workspace and doesn't change anything.  What's the right answer   (It's an older MacBook Pro, but running Lion, just upgraded to it a few days ago.)

    Thank you!!!  I knew it must be something simple, that I just haven't had time to figure out yet (the day after I upgraded, my son went into the hospital and had to have heart surgery, so I haven't spent a lot of time getting to know Lion.).  Your help is much much appreciated!

  • Change the desktop background colour of Acrobat 9 Professional?

    Is it possible to change the desktop background colour in Acrobat 9? The reason I ask is we are supplied newspaper ads and sometimes they have a black keyline on the border of the PDF.
    The dark background on the desktop can make it difficult to see a fine keyline. We were previously using Acrobat 7 Professional which had a white background.

    Doesn't work
              ^                                                                                    ^
    Obviously, I can't, in this particular screenshot show everything.
    This is what the fellow is talking about.  Naturally if his keyline item is in Black it ain't going to show up  In Acrobat previous to 9 all this back Ground was grey.

    Hi paulheu
    It is not the question of first time posted or second time posted. Whther the issues are genuine or not?
    I have checked with othe Lumia 800 also observed same issues.
    Do you think that this is the low end phone?
    Whatever the issues i have raised all those are very basic requirements. And for your information those are available in normal ordinary phones  (symbian os phones).
    This is the smartphone having Rs.13000 cost. and i give extra care & respect to my phone.
    How can you say that without any homework  did i raised the question?
    Whatever i mentioned the issues those are only i faced. I think lot more which i have not used/ observed.
    And finally could you pls tell me what are the issues are not generally true?

    Downloaded a trial version of the "Living Earth Desktop" screensaver and cannot get rid of it. I deleted the download and cannot find it anywhere else on my mac. I will change the desktop image and the living earth image will pop back up minutes later. Does anyone know how I can make this image stop taking over my desktop? Thanks!

    This is the website.

    IF you know the exact file name of the download, you can search for it in the spotlight.
    (This icon) in the upper right corner.
    If you don't know the exact file name, you may have to redownload it so you can see it.
    I would also try doing a reboot after you change your desktop background to what you want.

  • How do I change the desktop image?

    In System preferences/desktop and screensaver/desktop I presumed that I could specify a directory for my desktop background, but when I try an add a directory to the list it says:
    'The folder you selected is already present in the picture source list.'
    It isn't, but there are two Aperture libraries listed (neither of which I can delete using the '-' button
    Can I add and remove directories from the list?

    You might also try deleting the preference file for the Desktop pictures, which will return you to the default state, so you can start over. You should then be able to add the folders you want. Here's the file to remove:
    "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist"
    If that doesn't do it, you could try cleaning out the Desktop pix cache files, and remove the plist again. The cache files are located inside this folder:
    "/Users/yourname/Library/Caches/Desktop"
    I suspect something is wrong with plist, since I also have Aperture installed, and what SHOULD appear in the Desktop pane is a single entry for "Aperture Projects" with a disclosure triangle listing the Library, All Projects, All Photos, individual projects, and so on. Under the Aperture Projects you should have the Folders category, also a disclosure triangle, and containing the list of folders you have added.

    how can u change the desktop and taskbar to a classic windows view in 8.1

    Hi,
    If you mean to customize the desktop, you can use themes, desktop backgrounds, window colors, and screen savers to personalize your desktop.   
    If you want some free themes and desktop backgrounds to use, there are lots to choose from in the
    Personalization Gallery.
