Desktop alerts
Highly visible pop-up messages right on the employees' computer screens.
Corporate wallpaper is the image that appears on the background of your computer screen when it is first booted up, with icons and shortcuts to various programs and files sitting on top of it.
Corporate wallpaper software sets that image centrally for the computers you choose, schedules it, and rotates several images at the interval you set.
Wallpaper messaging is part of DeskAlerts employee notification software, keeping key messages visible on employees' desktops.
Turn the default wallpapers on your employees' workstations into a powerful internal communications channel. Deliver custom corporate desktop backgrounds to your employees’ PCs with the DeskAlerts wallpaper tool.
Each staff member will only see the organization wallpaper when they have no active applications opened. This means it won’t get in the way of their routine work practices, but will be on screen at the start and end of every work session.
Send custom corporate wallpapers to specific departments, single users, customized groups, or the entire organization – easily, with no IT department involvement needed.
You can target different wallpapers to different groups of employees and easily rotate messages during a set timeframe.
The wallpapers can also be scheduled to appear at a later time, or on certain dates.
The corporate wallpaper puts your message on employees' desktops first thing at the beginning of the day and last thing at the end of it. Use this tool to remind them of corporate values and goals, upcoming events, inform about corporate news and build awareness.
The visual nature of corporate desktop wallpapers helps your message stay memorable.
Make your message visible yet unobtrusive and explain complicated things with simple and powerful visuals
Wallpaper works best when it is designed for the screens it appears on and refreshed before it fades into the background.
Design for the monitor sizes in use across the company and check the aspect ratio, so the image is not cropped or stretched
Keep the text short and place it away from the areas where desktop icons usually sit
Use an image with a high enough resolution for the largest screens, so text and logos stay sharp
Follow the brand guidelines – colors, fonts, and logo placement – so the wallpaper matches the rest of your internal communications
Change the wallpaper on a set interval, for example every two weeks, so the message stays noticeable
Send different wallpapers to different groups by role or location, so each group gets the message that applies to it

Use .jpg, .png or .bmp images at full visual quality, with a position setting for every screen: center, stretch, fit, fill, tile or span.
Your corporate wallpaper can target specific departments, groups, and single users and even combinations of each.
Schedule the delivery and availability time specifically to match targeted events within your internal communication strategies.
Wallpapers are set centrally and displayed continuously or until the end date you schedule – no action from the employee is needed.
Use branded images and visuals as wallpapers to guide employees on important matters such as business plans, policies, and priorities.
When several wallpapers are assigned, they rotate at the interval you set – 60 seconds by default.
High impact: the wallpaper is on screen at the start and end of every work session
Raised employee engagement levels
Reach office and remote employees alike

There are several reasons why a company might consider using a corporate desktop wallpaper.
This includes:
Yes. Wallpapers are managed centrally from the DeskAlerts admin dashboard and distributed automatically to all registered Windows and macOS devices. You upload the content once and it deploys across the organization without touching individual machines.
Yes. Wallpapers can be scheduled for specific dates and times and set to change automatically – useful for time-bound campaigns, seasonal messaging, or rotating announcements. Targeted devices update on the schedule you set.
Group Policy requires IT involvement for every update and is limited to domain-joined Windows machines.
DeskAlerts manages wallpapers through its own admin interface, works on both Windows and macOS, and gives non-technical teams the ability to update content without IT support. Changes deploy faster and don't require Group Policy configuration or domain access.
Yes. Role-based access in DeskAlerts allows you to grant publishing permissions to marketing, communications, HR, or any other department. Those teams can create, schedule, and update wallpaper campaigns independently, without requiring IT involvement for each change.
