    Probably has to do with the Span, Stretch or Centre options. You should be able to adjust them in the desktop settings under Appearance. Don't know exactly on Windows, I use Linux.

    if you want to use the attached image as background, I'd say it will be very blurred indeed. ;)

    213px × 159px doesn't look great at 1366x768. Did you transfer the thumbnail rather than the image itself?

    Try this one instead and see how it looks like. ;)

    First I put the image through Google Image Search, then I grabbed the 1440x900 version and resized/cropped it to 1366x768.

    IIRC, it's one of the old Vista Wallpapers, no?
