Set an all-white desktop background
Just out of curiosity... Why would you want or need an all white desktop?
Set an all-white desktop background
Its great for taking screen captures.
or use Screenshot Helper
Screenshot helper is a nice freeware program that opens a big window with whatever you want for a desktop background. You can easily choose a solid color, including white, or any of the standard background images, or really any image at all. You then put the window you want to capture on top of it and take the shot. This way you don't have to muck with your desktop settings just for taking a picutre.

So rather than using a built-in desktop that's easy to set, you suggest going to the trouble of downloading an app and learn how to use it? I bet you're a developer, because it sounds like something I'd do. ;)

Why? Screen captures - but "Backdrop" is a great alternative
White = neutral background for "clean" screen captures.
HOWEVER, there are much better solutions available, including Backdrop and Screenshot Helper Why are these better? Instead of just a white desktop, which would still show your desktop icons, etc. on top of it, both of these actually create a full-screen floating white "layer". You can easily position this layer just "behind" whatever you're interested in, but "in front of" any other applications, desktop icons, etc. which you don't want to be in the screen capture. Extremely useful - and yet easier to use than a simple desktop change, as well as more powerful. Check them out...

Get Constrictor -- it does screen shots, it's super cheap, and it has preferences for putting backgrounds, your choice of color, in place of the desktop. Saves you the bother of changing Desktop settings. |
