Right now i am using the method where i put the picture in a picbox, then save it as a .bmp then use SystemParametersInfo function to set the picture.
I do not like this because of one main reason: it takes huge amount of ram for a simple program such as this.
If anyone could help me out with a simpler/less ram consuming way to do this, it will be much appreciated. ;)
Jump to PostBackground for what? Desktop or Application form?
Anyway you can dispose the object once you don't need it.

Try this:
Imports System.Drawing
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch
Me.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("C:\Graphics\tree1.jpg")
End Sub
End ClassDesktop background not the application background
