September 2011

September 2011 marks two years of monthly desktop calendars. There have been several changes along the way, many late comers and one month that was completely missed – but overall, we have thoroughly enjoyed creating and sharing the desktop calendars with you.
As life has become more hectic this year, calendar timeliness began to lag, and as there is a single month’s calendar on each image, they should really be delivered on time. Since I can’t promise a calendar on the first of each and every month… We have altered the way we are creating calendars. They will now feature a 3 month calendar view (which comes in quite handy for those planners out there) just in case the next month’s edition is a bit delayed.
We hope that you enjoy!

Calendar #1: Paris, France – Fall 2009. Images include: Metro sign, Green chair in Tuileries garden, Sacre Coeur, the Louvre, Clock in d’Orsay Museum, Street sign, Statue atop a column, Eiffel Tower, Banks of the Seine River, Flower bouquet at the market, Street signs in the 14th Arrond., and a Bike in a small square.

Calendar #2: Venice, Italy – Late Spring 2010.

Here’s how it works:

1- Click on the image for the calendar you wish to select. This will open a new window (or tab) displaying the right wallpaper image for your screen.

2- Right-click (or ctrl-click) on the image.

3 – Select the option, “Set as Desktop Background”, “Use as Desktop Picture,” or something similar.

If the image does not fit your desktop background neatly, see below.

You may have to go to your preference screen (on a Mac: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop; on Windows: Control Panel > Display > Desktop) and choose “Fit to screen”.
If you have problems with the desktop calendar and would like assistance, just shoot us an email. We are happy to help.

Hope you enjoy, and see you back next month for new calendars!
