So here we are on the very first day of January in North Idaho. I picked out this picture a month ago and have saved it ‘specially for today’s wallpaper. And wouldn’t you know… today my thermometer topped out at 47-degrees, and that, combined with a reappearance of some sunshine, worked to erase nearly all traces of the winter wonderland we had just a day and a half ago! Oh well, I’m sure the snow will return in due time. And in the meantime why not download and set up your January 2020 Wallpaper/Calendar! We can always pretend!
Happy New Year!
My monthly desktop wallpaper & calendar offers you a pretty seasonal picture to brighten your computer monitor. But that’s not all. It also includes a handy monthly calendar and serves as a cheat-sheet reference to PDF’s and websites you may want to know about and access. And it’s even FREE to download, so please don’t hesitate to share this page with your friends and family.
How to download & install your January 2020 wallpaper/calendar
Note: You’ll probably want to consult your own computer operating system’s installation instructions, but installing the background image on my Windows 10 system takes just 3 quick steps – and less than a minute. It’s super-duper easy-peasy!
Here’s how you can (probably) do it, too.
- Start by left-clicking right here and the full-resolution image should open in a new tab. Then right click on the image and save it to your hard drive.
- Once the file has been downloaded, named and saved, click on your saved image to open it.
- Once open, right-click on the image and select “Set as” > “Set as Background”….. then right-click again and select “Set as” > “Set as Lock screen”. And poof! That’s all there is to it! (For convenience, I recommend you install this on both your desktop system and your laptop. Assuming you still have both these days, of course!)
Tips for other operating systems:
And in case you may have an operating system OTHER than Windows 10, you may find these installation tips helpful:
Finally, please keep in mind that the format of my monthly picture is designed for most modern-day 16:9 monitors (a common format for monitors and HD TV’s since about 2009), oriented in landscape format. (Typically 1920 x 1080 pixels.) If you’re working with an older monitor (and/or one that is more square-ish in format), or your monitor is set up in portrait format or some other variation, the picture may not work for you.
Shucks! And I’m real sorry about that!
