Change the Desktop Background

IBM® Cognos Controller is installed with a template desktop background picture. You can change this background picture and/or set a background color with the local parameters described in the Parameter List.

See Define Local Preferences for information on how to define the parameters and their values.

If the picture you use does not fill up the background area, it will be locked to the lower right corner and the rest of the area will be empty, unless you have specified a background color. If you add a background color, the area around the picture will be filled with the color you have specified.
If you set a background color and keep the template background picture, the template background picture will remain in the lower right corner. If you want to completely remove the template background picture, you can set the parameter APP_BACKGROUND to the value 0.
To remove a background color or background picture and re-insert the template background picture, you have to remove the background parameter rows from the Local Preferences window.
