Once you install Starter Background Changer on your Windows 7 Starter system, you’ll find a new Personalize command added to the desktop context menu – the one that pops up when you right click on the screen. Select it, and you’ll be able to customize your wallpaper straight away!

Starter Background Changer enables you not only to choose a new wallpaper, but also customize the three other main elements in the operating system: screensavers, colors and sound.

Starter Background Changer is fairly easy to use, though the translation is a bit weird – and the installation process hasn’t been translated at all.

Named the best game character of the year in 2001 by Eurogamer, the Max Payne franchise puts players in the shoes of a former New York City policeman who's become a vigilante. He's got a quick wit and an interesting sense of justice, which is likely what makes Max so interesting to play.

Max Payne 3 has been anticipated since its initial release date in 2009. The latest news is that it'll be released sometime in March 2012. Now you can get amped up for the occasion with this intense desktop background.

The Max Payne 3 desktop wallpaper depicts a partial image of Max Payne's face, splattered in true Max Payne fashion with a bit of blood. To the right of him, the Max Payne 3 logo looms large and white in a neat font with a grunge effect. Above and below the Max Payne 3 logo, there's plenty of black space to add in your desktop icons, making this a wallpaper that's both visually pleasing and functional.

Max Payne 3 is a great looking wallpaper for fans of the PC game.

A few years ago Webshots Desktop used to be an online service from which you downloaded wallpapers at will. It has now evolved to a desktop utility to download, manage and organize your collection of wallpapers, though it still depends a lot – too much, for our taste – on the web browser.

The Webshots Desktop interface features a series of tabs, each of them with a different purpose: download new wallpapers from the site, check images marked as favorite by the Webshots Desktop members, and organize both your local and online files. However all of these actions, like we said before, end up working in your browser.

While the collection of images offered by Webshots Desktop is astonishing in terms of quantity and quality, the truth is that the program is very limited. Unless you pay for a Premium account, you only get to downloadd a wallpaper a day, the highest resolution you can get is 800x600 and your personal upload is also limited. Add to that the fact that images come in a non-standard format (WBZ) and Webshots Desktop suddenly doesn’t look that attractive anymore.

Webshots Desktop used to be a great resource to download high-quality wallpapers, but now it’s a bit too bloated – and free accounts are too limited.

What you'll get

This wallpaper is pretty eye-catching, with a large gun-toting figure starkly outlined against a the smoking ruins of a city reduced to rubble. There's a striking MW3 emblazoned across this Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Wallpaper, meaning there's absolutely no doubt that you're the world of war.

The only problem with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Wallpaper is that there's only one image. It's a nice one, and good quality, but after a while, there's a risk you might get bored and start looking for a change. In case that happens, here's a good place to start!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Wallpaper is a nice, but limited, taste of the game on your desktop.

With Shock Desktop 3D you can have your standard Windows desktop completely overhauled and give it an amazing three-dimensional look. As soon as you run the program, your current desktop will be replaced by a 3D environment where you can freely move your icons as if they were some sort of tokens. The animation effects are so realistic that it really feels like the icons have become actual objects.

You can choose to have your icons rendered as rectangles or as 3D cubes, which makes them even more similar to small toys for playing with. You'll probably spend a while tossing cubes around, piling them up and organizing them on your new desktop. Luckily the program lets you save these layouts as predefined user profiles.

That said, the truth is that Show Desktop 3D is not really a very useful app. It does look gorgeous on your PC but it doesn't really add any new functionality to your desktop. Besides, it doesn't let you use wallpapers, which I think is a major drawback.

Shock Desktop 3D applies a very eye-catching three-dimensional effect to your Windows desktop.

Although realistic and faithful to the game, this Counter-Strike wallpaper isn't exactly revolutionary, but it does the job. Featuring 3 characters in full get-up, as well as a prominent view of their impressive weapons, the wallpaper isn't very eye-catching, but it does capture the game well.

Unfortunately, there's only one Counter-Strike wallpaper available here, and it only comes in one size, 1600 x 1200 UXGA widescreen. Even so, if you're a Counter-Strike fan, this wallpaper is sure to please.

Reminiscent of the Mac desktop background, Animated Desktop Wallpaper Starfield is an animated wallpaper that shows stars moving in front of shades of blue and purple.

One nice thing about Animated Desktop Wallpaper Starfield is that you can change the underlying wallpaper while keeping the star animations. This allows you to create virtually endless combinations of desktop backgrounds with your animated stars.

If, on the other hand, the animation makes you dizzy, you can choose to disable it entirely. Unfortunately, the starry animation is the primary features that makes this wallpaper stand out, so if you disable it you lose most of what makes Animated Desktop Wallpaper Starfield special and unique.

For astronomy lovers, Animated Desktop Wallpaper Starfield will make a beautiful addition to your PC's desktop environment.
