How To Use Custom Background Images In Gmail


Have you ever wondered how to use a custom background image for Gmail? Well now you can and that too without having to use any add-ons or anything. This even works for those using Gmail through Google Apps.

Just follow these simple steps in order to use a Custom Background in Gmail :
  • Log into Gmail like usual. Don’t use Basic HTML version. Now near the top right corner you should be able to see “Settings”. Click on that.
  • Now select Themes Tab. This will reveal the default themes provided by Google. Along with the Default themes there will be a “Create Your Own Theme” option. Click on that.
Edit Background How To Use Custom Background Images In Gmail

  • A new window should open as shown above. Now just modify the basic colors of the theme by clicking on the down arrows in this window. If you click on the down arrow in the top left corner there will be “Select” option allowing you to put a custom background as shown in the picture. Also click on the arrow at the bottom left corner and select an image.
  • Remember that you are using the same image twice so there may be some kind of cut line in the image. If you want to get rid of this the only way is to use a single image. You can either crop the image into the required resolutions or just add background in the top left arrow menu only. This will give you a single image as long as the height of the window is less than or same as that of the image you used. The best method is to just use a really long image . If you are putting a tiled background then you do not have to worry about aspect ratios that much. Just add the tiled background in both menus.
That’s it. Now you can use your own custom images as background in Gmail.

How To Reset Windows 7 To Factory Settings



If you don’t have a Windows 7 Installation CD and forgot to create a System Restore point you can still make your Windows as good as new with a few steps. It’s better to reset your PC to factory settings than reinstalling in most cases because you won’t loose any User Files and also resetting takes a lot less time(depending on the number of applications you installed and changed you made). There is no option built into Windows 7 to reset to factory settings but you can do it on your own. You can easily get rid of all the softwares you have installed since you installed Windows and also get rid of whatever toll these installations have taken on your PC.In a fresh Windows Installation unless you have a modified Windows 7 CD it will only contain softwares from Microsoft. So first thing you may think about doing is to get rid of all the softwares that you installed.  We also need to Clean the computer’s registry, remove all logs, invalid shortcuts, temporary files etc.

Just follow these steps to get your Windows as good as new:

Remove additional User accounts

Having many Users on your computer can lead to loss of a lot of memory on your Hard disk as the preferences of all the Users will be saved. So it is best to remove these additional accounts. To remove additional User accounts:
  • Run cmd.exe to open Command Prompt. In command Prompt type this in net user administrator /active:yes and press Enter key.
  • This will activate the Default Administrator account. Now just Log off from your Account and Log into the Administrator Account. After that right click Computer then click Properties.
User Profiles How To Reset Windows 7 To Factory Settings
  • On the left sidebar you can see “Advanced System Settings”, click that to open a system Properties Window. Click the “Settings” option near User Profiles. After that just select all the other accounts and delete them.

Remove 3rd Party Applications

Installing 3rd party softwares always take a toll on your PC. They can leave behind many side effects such as Invalid Shortcuts, Empty Folders, Saved Preferences, Log Files and Options in Context Menu. These side effects are the reason why a lot of people prefer to Reinstall Windows once in a while. But there is no need to resort to such drastic measures all the time. You can actually remove all these problems with a few Tweaks in Windows Registry or with some softwares. Follow the following steps in order:
  • Uninstalling Third Part Applications – To uninstall all of your 3rd party applications you have to take Programs and Features in Control Panel. Then just right click each of the programs that are not by Microsoft that you have installed in your PC and click Uninstall. If the Uninstaller asks whether or not to keep Preferences, choose to Delete these Preferences. This is the only actual time consuming step all the others are very fast when compared to this step.

Remove Files and Folders Left behind

Glary Utilities How To Reset Windows 7 To Factory Settings
  • Now we are going to fix any damage done to the registry and also remove anything left behind after uninstalling of programs such as empty folders and also invalid shortcuts. For this we have for you a simple, free tool – Glary Utilities. Download it, Install it. You don’t have to upgrade it or anything. It has all the features that we need without updating. Open Glary Utilities and Under “1-Click Maintenance” Click on Scan for Issues. This should take a  couple of minutes only. This will remove all invalid shortcuts, traces, temporary files etc. Now only thing remaining to do on Glary Utilities is to remove empty folders.  So go to Modules in main window of Glary Utilities. Then click duplicate file finder. Now just select the drives in which you installed softwares. If you have drives which you maintain by yourself for storing data it is not necessary to check there. After the list of empty folders is generated by Glary then just check the ones you wish to delete or to just click Check All under the Check option and then click Delete Checked Folders. If you are sharing any folders on a network they will cause some trouble in deleting. So if you do have any shared folders then stop sharing them. To do so right click Computer then Manage. In the Computer Management windows that will now open select shared folders then Shares. You can stop sharing folders from here by right clicking on them and clicking Stop sharing.
  • Now all that is left in this section is to remove logs from your PC. This is quite simple. Just run cmd.exe to open Command Prompt. Type in Del *.log /a /s /q /f. That’s it.

Remove Shell Components and Startup Programs

This step is for those who decided to skip the 2nd step i.e. Removing 3rd party applications. Usually after uninstalling any program shell components that it added will be removed. In case was some error and it was not removed then you can remove them by following these simple steps.
  • Removing New Menu Items – If you have any items in this menu that were left behind after un-installation of a program due to some error or because you did not un-install the program then you can remove it using this simple tool. This tool helps disable these items from New Menu. Download it from here. Open the program and select the item you want to remove from the New Menu  and click Disable.
  • Removing Right Click Menu Items – Installing many softwares will lead to piling up of such items. You can remove them using this software. Just go to the Remove Tab from the Main window, right click on the item then click Delete.Download the software fromhere.
  • Removing Start Up Items – You can either use some software such as CCleaner,  Glary Utilities etc. or you can do it my Opening System Configuration and then removing them. To open system Management run msconfig. Then under the Startup tab in the System Configuration just un-check the items you want to remove.
Your Windows installation should be as good as new if you follow these simple steps. It is best after following these steps to create a Restore point. To create a restore point just search for “Create a restore point” in start menu. Click the Result to open a System Properties Window. Then just click Create. That’s it. Now you have a Clean Windows Installation and also have a restore point in case Windows ends up in its old unclean state again.

Speed Up Windows 7 32bit and 64bit Ultimate Guide To Make Windows 7 Blazing Fast



Windows 7 is Engineered for speed. Special attention has been given by the Windows team for making Windows 7 faster than the previous operating systems. Windows 7 is much faster than Windows Vista, but even then most of us don’t get satisfied with it. There are many who still have their old PC. Installing Windows 7 on them wont be as soothing as they would work with XP and Even with latest hardware’s installed some users are still avaricious  for more performance. We could optimize Windows 7 to the maximum possible extent to squeeze out extra performance from it. So, for all the extra performance lovers, here is the Ultimate Guide To Speed Up Windows 7.
I can guarantee you that after following this guide and implementing the listed recommendations on your PC, you’d definitely experience some performance gain.
The bare Minimum Requirements You need To Run Windows 7
1) 1GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
2) 1GB of main memory

4) Support for DX9 graphics with 128MB of memory (for the Aero interface)
5) A DVD – R/W drive
Even if you don’t have own a DX 9 capable graphics card its okay, because our target is performance and not the ” Eyecandy “. But if you need the aero experience, you’d definitely need a powerful graphics card.

The Best Tweaks & Software’s To Speed Up Windows 8

So, lets start The Ultimate Guide to Speed up Windows 7
  • Disabling the Search Indexing Feature in Windows 7

    • Right Click the “Computer” Icon in the desktop and select “Manage”.
    • Click “Services and Applications” in the “Computer Management” window.
    • Click on “Services”.
    • You’d see a lot of services being listed inside the window. Find “Windows Search” from the list.
    • Right Click on “Windows Search” from the list and choose “Properties”.
    • The “Windows Search Properties Window” will open up. From “Startup type” click on the drop down menu and choose “Disabled”.windows 7 search properties  Speed Up Windows 7   Ultimate Guide To Make Windows 7 Blazing Fast!!!
    • Click “Apply” then “OK” and that’s it. The Windows 7 Search Indexing Feature is now disabled.
Most Windows 7 users are likely to do less file searches in their system. The Search Indexing service in Windows 7 will index and keep track of the files, so that they could be found out quickly when required at some other time. This feature is useful only if you perform frequent searches on your system.
For occasional file searchers the Search Indexing service in Windows 7 is a total resource hog. It unknowingly eats up your system resources in the background. If what you need from windows 7 is maximum performance, then i would certainly recommend you to disable this resource hogging Windows 7 Search Indexing Feature.
If you’d like to completely disable the search indexing feature in Windows 7 you may set the Search Indexing Service to Disabled (See the above method about disabling unwanted services).
  • Disable the Aero Theme on Windows 7

    • Right Click on your Desktop and select ” Personalize ” click the Window ColorTab.

    • You may also Apply a Standard or Basic theme from the previous window. The Standard Windows 7 theme is more preferred as its gives a neutral look than the classy windows old theme.
The aero user interface certainly adds some ” Eyecandy ” to Windows 7 but it requires a quite powerful hardware to run smoothly.  Older graphics cards would be squeezed to their maximum when aero is forcefully enabled. So why dont we just avoid the Windows 7 aero if what we care more is about speed and performance in Windows 7? So Disabling the Aero in Windows 7 certainly adds an extra speed boost to it.
disabling aero Speed Up Windows 7   Ultimate Guide To Make Windows 7 Blazing Fast!!!
Disabling the aero theme in Windows 7 will really speed things up as the hardware could now be allocated more resources and you’d get an idea by looking the memory consumption when aero is turned on and off.

    • Right click on ” Computer” and select “Properties” from the right click menu.
    • Click on ” Advanced System Settings ” from the left pane to open up the ” System Properties ” window.

Even though we have tuned off the aero effects in Windows 7 still there are many unwanted visual effects that could well be safely set to disabled to speed up windows 7 even more. After the login, you’d notice a speed difference now.
  • Disabling the Unwanted Services to Speed up Windows 7

There are many services in windows 7 that we dont require for our daily use though there are some exceptional cases though. Services such as “print spooler” are used only when there is a need to print a document. If you does’t own a printer, you could safely turn off that service in Windows 7 and turn it on only when there arises a need to take a print.
I have previously prepared a,

List of services in Windows 7 that can be safely set to manual / disabled

Disabling the unneeded services in Windows 7 can really speed up the system boot time too.

The User account control (UAC) feature in Windows 7 is very annoying for experienced windows users and for others it could protect your pc from harmful virus activity etc. If you do software installations more frequently on your system, turning off the uac feature would definitely save you extra time.
  • SetUp the Windows 7 Ready Boost Service for an Extra Speed Boost

    • To configure the Ready Boost Feature in Windows 7 you need to have a High Speed Flash/USB or Pendrive with you which is ready boost compatible.
    • After plugging your pendrive, open “Computer” > Right-click the on USB Drive/Pendrive > select “Ready Boost” tab > tick the “Use this device” checkbox.
    • You may configure the  amount of space on your USB drive/ Pendrive to be used as Ram.
The ready boost feature in Windows 7 will help you to use your flash drive or pendrive or USB drive as Ram there by improving the performance and speed of windows 7 greatly. You’d certainly experience it when launching bulky applications such as Adobe Photoshop etc.
Note : Ready Boost would only be of benefit for systems which have low amount of ram installed (less than 1GB). For others it doesn’t make a difference.
  • Turn off Unused Windows 7 Features

    • Open up ” Programs and Features ” from Control Panel.
    • Click the ” Turn Windows features on or off ” from the left pane.

  • Disable the Aero Peek and Aero Snap features in Windows 7

    Aero Snap will help you to maximize, minimize and resize the windows just by dragging and dropping it into the screen corners.
    I dont advice to turn it off as the Aero Snap feature really helps to speed up working with windows by arranging them side by side. But, if you are not a regular user of the same, you may proceed by turning of aero snap in windows 7.
    • Open the Windows 7 ” Control Panel ” and double-click on ” Ease of Access Center ” icon.
    • Now click on the ” Make it easier to focus on tasks ” seen at the bottom in there
    • Now untick the check box saying ” Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen ” .

The Power settings in Windows 7 is not automatically set for maximum performance. By default the power plan in Windows 7 is set for a balanced performance with energy consumption on hardware. So you may not get the optimal performance from windows 7 if this is the case. So we need to change the power plan to High Performance Mode.
  • Disable the Thumbnail Preview Feature to speed up File browsing in Windows 7

    For disabling thumbnails in Windows 7,
    • Double Click on ” Computer ” >click on the “Organize” drop-down menu and select the “Folder and Search options”
    • Under ‘Files and Folders’ section, go to the “View” tab and tick the check box showing “Always show icons, never thumbnails” checkbox.always show icons in windows 7 Speed Up Windows 7   Ultimate Guide To Make Windows 7 Blazing Fast!!!
