Cool Powerpoint Backgrounds


Psted by : Bharath kommukuri (28-02-2014)


On 14 August 1984 the first version of Power Point was developed. It was called, Presenter and it was created for Macintosh computer. Due to the problems with trademark it was renamed PowerPoint in 1987. The clipboard that can hold multiple objects at once was introduced by PowerPoint 2000. ,Slides or individual pages are called the PowerPoint presentations. Slides may contain objects, movies, text and graphics. The use of consistent style in presentation is facilitated by a template also called ,,Slide Master. The presentation can be navigated through, printed or displayed live on a computer.

3 types of movements are provided by PowerPoint:

-Custom Animation controls the exit of elements, emphasis and entrance

- transition is animated in a variety of ways. These are the movements between slides.

- in order to create small story board, custom animation can be used by animating pictures to move, exit or enter

A computer desktop background is an image used as a background on a PC display / PC screen. Background is a fine decoration for a PC.


Desktop "Background", is the term used in Windows 7, while in Microsoft Windows is called "Wallpaper" and Mac OS X calls it a "desktop picture" (previously, the term desktop pattern was used to refer to a small pattern that was repeated to fill the screen)

Nowadays, it is possible to download many free desktop background and use it on any personal computer with any operation system (MS Windows, Linux or Apple MacOS).

Whether it's a texture pattern or an abstract  art, getting the correct theme makes more interesting the entire work. There are various cool powerpoint backgrounds on different themes such as: planes, animals, buildings, cars, computers, celebrities , games, holidays, nature, sports, world and many others.

The cool powerpoint backgrounds have played a great role, maybe some might not have noticed this. For instance, some product graphic advertisements uses light subtle background to help create focus point also websites and desktops need nice backdrops too.

Images used as computer backgrounds are usually raster graphics with the same size as the display resolution (1024×768 pixels, or 1280×1024 pixels) in order to fill the whole background.

The classic screen resolutions are proportional in a 4:3 ratio, so an image scaled to fit in a different-sized screen will still be the correct shape, although that scaling may impact quality.

The backgrounds resolutions are connected to common desktop resolutions: 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1024x768 and 800x600.

Users with widescreen (16:9 or 16:10) monitors have different aspect ratio requirements for backgrounds, although images designed for standard (4:3) monitors can often be cropped or scaled to the correct shape without undue loss of quality.

If any background doesn't fit your screen, you can use OS display properties to adjust it. The last possibility is to edit the background in a bitmap editor (MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP etc.).

Desktop backgrounds are not a desktop pattern or at least it should not be. Desktop patterns create backgrounds using repeating patters. Desktop backgrounds are unique, there are no repeating patterns.

The principal problem when enlarging an background image to match the desktop resolution is the quality loss that appears during the resize process and the distorted image that appear when aspect ratio of the background is different than the aspect ratio of the desktop. If the image is used in smaller proportion, by default, will begin to repeat if it is too small.

When tiled most images look horrible and this should be avoided. By using any photo editing, an image can be resistant. You can notice the loss in quality when you stretch a picture and you may decide not to use that picture at all. However, there are applications that can automatically establish if an image is better to be displayed tiled, resized or using its original resolution.

The most common type image are in PNG and JPEG format. All major operation systems should be able to specifying just one colour to use in place of a wallpaper as the background , and some (such as GNOME orKDE) allow to be specified the colour-gradients. Early versions of Mac OS and Microsoft Windows allowed for small repeating patterns to tile the desktop.

If we make an incursion into computer backgrounds, we can say that this begins in Renaissance and to be more specific the first computer desktop background was appears in the mid 70's in an experimental office system, Officetalk, developed in 1975 at Xerox PARC on the Alto.

Previously to that, the white backgrounds to overlapping windows could be difficult to distinguish from window interiors. Officetalk used a pattern that produced a 25% gray, using dots two pixels high to avoid flicker on the Alto's interlaced screen. Xerox Star adopted the same pattern.

Apple used for their Lisa and Macintosh a similar gray background. On the other hand, it was possible to use a less noticeable background pattern since these machines had non-interlaced screens, gave a 50 percent gray from a simple 2x2 repeating pattern . Once the color monitors for personal computers were introduced, this led arbitrary backgrounds non-patterned, single-color backgrounds .. There was a way to obtain a desktop picture on versions of the Mac OS before Mac OS 7. Today, the possibility to change your desktop background is a must in any operation system. 

In personal use backgrounds usually fall into one of the following categories: automobiles, models and celebrities, scenery, abstract art, movies, pets, family, symmetry, and personal photos.Comics and drawings backgrounds are considered cool backgrounds among teenagers


In business use, it is common to use corporate logos or plain backgrounds on business computers, as such guidelines are often specified by the company.

In display systems such as GNOME and Windows, backgrounds may be packaged along with desktop themes.

Some operating systems allow a number of different backgrounds to be used and changed from a set of selected images (either in order or shuffled) to display a different background at different times, these are called dynamic backgrounds.

In video Media, some media players can redirect video playback to the desktop, allowing any video to be used as a background.

Also, some programs such as Xplanet and EarthDesk use Internet connections and graphics calculations to change the background with real data, such as a shadowed view of the earth, the latest cloud or weather map, or various events.

Since desktop backgrounds are constantly changed, it doesn't only help inspire ourselves but also spice up the desktop, giving it a fresher look. That is why your background display should not station on desktop for more than one month. Since the beginning of the computers, to customize your desktop is the frequent area of activities. The choice of a desktop usually reflects appearance and mood. Lots of wallpaper sites are now available and they will suit even the most exigent client.

People use cool powerpoint backgrounds to make their boring screen look more interesting.
