Control Panels : Personalize

The "picture" you select has to be the right size.
Too small and a regular picture would "tile" the screen.

However, in your case, this doesn't matter, because your
claimed picture is a solid blue with only one pixel value,
and when that is "tiled" to fill the screen, it will make
absolutely no difference :-) Kinda convenient if you ask me.

How do you find your "blue.bmp" picture that started
all this ? I haven't a clue. Windows doesn't have image
content search. You could, in an emergency, even make
a 1x1 GIF of the right color, and ask the Personalize to
"tile" a million copies of that. That would be fun.
