Windows7(64Bit) Photo Viewer Background-Color changed successfully

But there is set a default background-color (white), what seems to be not changeable. (how sick is Microsoft, do deny users to change this?)

There are the global settings for the default window-color under display settings. But even if you change these settings it’ll have no effect on the Picture Viewer background.

But anyhow there’s an option to do it if you run in Windows7 (64Bit Version).

Go to Start > Run… > type in “regedit” > go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows Photo Viewer > Viewer >

there are already one entry called: “MainWndPos”.

Just add one entry with a rightclick on the blank area, > new > DWORD (32 Bit) Value > change name to: “BackgroundColor” > hit Enter.

Doubleclick on the value you just added. change the value to “ff111111″ if you want a nice almost black background(what I’ve taken), use “ff333333″ for a brighter one, or choose your’s here and replace the letters after the ff with your preferred HEX-color-code. > press OK.

For maybe existing text in the viewer(like if your image is not ready) add also this value:

Just add another entry with a rightclick on the blank area, > new > DWORD (32 Bit) Value > change name to: “TextColor” > hit Enter.

Doubleclick on the value you just added. change the value to “ffffffff” (f*8) for a white font-color if you use a dark background > press OK.

Restart the viewer > you’ll see the result.

Registry Entry to change the Background of the Photo Viewer in Windows 7

the .reg file is here: viewer.reg
just download and execute(only on Windows7 64Bit)

OK, better choice is defenitely this viewer, free fast and with customizable background-color out of the view-panel via right-click:

It’s time to find new ways how to experience and see our world – if we don’t, the mistakes will go on like in all the previous decades.

We need a new way of perception, a new way of thinking about what our reality (our World) might be, what the truth of our existence could be and where the key to all those incredible existing creatures lays.

We’ll never find an answer to all those questions. But we’ll find a way to get an idea what we live on this planet for.

We’ve spent our time on this incredibly nice planet for millions of years. What’s our purpose?

I found a really interesting experiment. Its idea is too simple for not trying it:

The idea is to plug usual EEG sensors into a computer so that the brain waves generate a pattern of a usual fractal formula (e.g. Mandelbrot).

This pattern is than directly streamed into a fractal program which serves the live visualisation of the “thoughts”.

If brainwaves and visuals are similar we can really “see” the characteristics of a human brain. Even negative and positive feelings are visualized.

Here you’ll find a summary of this project: http://globalbrainpaint.com/

Darin erklärt er sehr gut, wie es sich anfühlt zu warten und vorallem, was das Warten eigentlich bedeuten kann.

Diese Erfahrung teilt er mit uns anhand seiner Weltreise bei der er durch Patagonien gekommen ist, in der die gähnende Weite des Landes bestimmt ausschlaggebend ist für solcherart Begegnung mit der Zeit.

Ein paar Worte zu dem online-Dienst Leafrs.de:

Dies ist eine Webseite, die verschiedene Blogeinträge von unterschiedlichen Usern ausgibt, wobei der Clou darin liegt, dass die Einträge bewertet werden können und somit ein Ranking entsteht. Was natürlich zur Folge hat, dass nur die besten Einträge oben im System landen. Das hat einerseits Nutzen für die Blogger, wie aber auch für die Seitenbetreiber, denn die Rechnung geht auf; viele Benutzer schreiben viele hochwertige Artikel im “Namen” von Leafrs.de, was natürlich den Interessen entsprechend in Google dann wiederum ganz oben angesiedelt wird. Und alles auf die Plattform Leafrs.de zurückreferenziert(verlinkt) wird, sehr einfach, aber genauso effektiv. Das ist dann eine win2win Situation, was Spaß macht (solange die Seite kostenlos bleibt).

NASA has developed a new Astrophysics page, here they have claimed some very interesting main-questions about the universes future habit!

They are described as followed:

What are the origin, evolution and fate of the Universe?

Two of the most profound questions that all cultures, both past and present, have asked are: where did we come from and what is our destiny? Throughout history philosophers, theologians, and scientists have debated these questions. NASA Science seeks to provide quantitative information pertinent to these basic elements of human curiosity by enabling scientists and engineers to construct instruments and make measurements on these topics that were once the purview of thought experiments only.

How do planets, stars, galaxies and cosmic structure come into being?

In order to understand how the Universe has changed from its initial simple state following the Big Bang (only cooling elementary particles like protons and electrons) into the magnificent Universe we see as we look at the night sky, we must understand how stars, galaxies and planets are formed.

When and how did the elements of life in the Universe arise?

Following the Big Bang and the gradual cooling of the Universe the primary constituents of the cosmos were the elements hydrogen and helium. Even today, these two elements make up 98% of the visible matter in the Universe. Nevertheless, our world and everything it contains—even life itself—is possible only because of the existence of heavier elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, iron, and many, many others. How long did it take the first generations of stars to seed our Universe with the heavy elements we see on Earth today? When in the history of the Universe was there a sufficient supply of heavy elements to allow the formation of prebiotic molecules and terrestrial-like planets upon which those molecules might combine to form life.

Is there life elsewhere?

Are we alone? This question is as old as humankind itself. For millennia, people have turned their eyes to the stars and wondered if there are others like themselves out there. Does life, be it similar to our own or not, exist elsewhere in our Solar System? Our Galaxy? Until some 15 years ago it was uncertain whether there were even any planets outside those in our own Solar System. Today we know of literally hundreds of planets orbiting other stars. Do any of these planets have conditions that would support life? What conditions favor the formation of terrestrial-class planets in developing planetary systems? NASA can help address these questions by developing missions designed to find and characterize extrasolar planetary systems.

This is how Microsoft sees the near future of inhouse gadgets, it’s a vision of a visual world without barriers, that are seamless integrated in our human livestyle. That means you are connected everytime with everyone no matter what kind of regional or sotial backgrounds are between. With the right network and the advanced communication systems we can still communicate.

Who will make the run, who will give us the opportunity to interact with friends visually and without time and space differences, the time will com: sooner than we believe!

It’s very common in the advanced user scene to use more than one monitor on one computer,

because of this the most peoples are bored of using different wallpapers on each monitor,
and also using exactly the same view of an image on both monitors…

Therefore it is an cool option to have one seamless image over both monitors.

I tried to find a solution for macs, but it’s yet not supported,
or I doesn’t found a way to do it, except an workaround with photoshop.

First, aquire an image that could mach the pixel size of both monitors, so that you have a sharp result.

Than you lookup in your mac preference-pane under displays, there you can see a different window for each monitor, where the actual resolution setting is described.
Now you have to take these numbers in photoshop, for each monitor an different document;

but I use more the lazy option and make a full-screen screenshot with “Apple-Shift-3″ this results two different images on my dektop with the exact pixel scale, that I can load both in Photoshop, put the big image in the bigger monitor document, there I place it fairly right, take the layer also in the other document(now with the same pixel size after rescale), place it also there, that I can see the missing part, and save both images as .jpg in my home directory, go back to the settings-pane –> desktop&screensaver –> desktop, there are also two different windows per each monitor, I select the previously saved items, and now the show begins, it looks like an seamless background…

Here I shortly made a little screenshot-overview what to do:

But shure, it would be more cool to use an application for that,
but it isn’t that much work…;-)

I hope you have fun with that,

The image, what I used is for download in full resolution (24.9MB !!!), here:
Milky way panorama

And the zoom-in version, for exploring the image in high-res online (unbelievable depth) here:
Gigagalaxy Zoom

but there are alot of more ressources for incredible images:

or just make your own;-)

On mars it would be required to heaten up the whole athmosphere, because there it is to cold to supply live.

Mars has approximately half the radius of Earth. It is less dense than Earth, having about 15% of Earth’s volume and 11% of the mass. Its surface area is only slightly less than the total area of Earth’s dry land.[5] While Mars is larger and more massive than Mercury, Mercury has a higher density. This results in a slightly stronger gravitational force at Mercury’s surface. Mars is also roughly intermediate in size, mass, and surface gravity between Earth and Earth’s Moon (the Moon is about half the diameter of Mars, whereas Earth is twice; the Earth is about ten times more massive than Mars, and the Moon ten times less massive). The red-orange appearance of the Martian surface is caused by iron(III) oxide, more commonly known as hematite, or rust.[14]

We are also going fast forward with taking pictures from this amazing planet:

So far, the last update from the mars rover from the Jet Propulsion Lab’ (JPL) shows, that there might be an option for the rover on mars, that it could escape from the point it stucks since a long time. that would be nice, because The rover takes stunning real pictures from our next planet, like this one:

However, this mission is called “Free Spirit”
Free Spirit update

And if that isn’t enough, the JPL also have built up a special site to show the martian explorations and technical investigations in a cool way here:
