Smoother wallpaper when Icons are shown

I noticed that when I hide my desktop icons in Winxp SP1, my wallpaper becomes very rough and not very pleasing looking. Is there some sort of acceleration involved that I could adjust and make permament so my desktop background is always smooth even without icons?
 
strange

Sorry dont know what to tell you , I just tried it and mine stays the same as before , maybe someone else has this trouble and will know what its about

:confused:
 
its because the wallpaper is being stretched if you resize your wallpaper in photoshop or something the same exact res your running it will get rid of the jagged look your getting.

That's the problem. I am using the default XP wallpapers. I used to get smooth wallpapers with or without icons... now whenever I hide the icons, the wallpaper is rough and ugly even if I am at the same resolution as the image (800x600).


Any more ideas?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
