I like my Windows background color a light tan. When I looked at a demo

personalization settings, to change the color. Yes I know i can
personalize that setting for some of the apps I use, but doing them one
at a time is a real PITA.

then you asked the wrong people.

1 Right-click your desktop and select Personalize
2 You have a choice in using a Picture, Solid Color or a Slideshow.
Select Picture if you simply want to make an image as your
wallpaper.
3 There are five recent images you can choose from. You can also tap
or click the Browse button to select a photo from your computer.
4 Under the Browse button, there's an option on how to fit the image
to your desktop because not all wallpapers have the same size or
aspect ratio. You can choose from Fill, Fit, Stretch, Tile,
Center, or Span. You can play with these options to see which one
works best, but Fill should work for most people.

there is no titanium band.

Now there are Smart watches with no phone required.

not very many because battery life truly sucks if the tiny battery in a
watch has to power a cellular radio.

another thing you got wrong is that no phone is required for an apple
watch other than the initial pairing and setup. it can do a number of
things without a phone and a many more in a couple of weeks with the
next version of the os.

I'm green with envy. I simply must try
that. OK, here's my 1,000 bucks. Let's
give it a whirl....

Calling Dick Tracy... Calling Dick Tracy...

Hmm. My super duper Apple watch doesn't
seem to be working. It can tell me my heart
rate but won't call Dick Tracy. Do you
suppose he uses an Android?

That is the right answer to the wrong question. I am talking about the
background color of my working window. Not the wallpaper for the desktop.

thank you anyway

Stainless steel band.
He said it cost almost 10k

I didn't get it wrong. They were specifically talking about a smart
watch, with a battery that lasts over 24 hrs, that can be used as cell
phone. I agree that battery life is an issue, but there could be new
technology.

If it has a vibrate function that may well
be worth the investment.

The Watch with stainless band cost $999. That is $9K short of the
inflated $10K.
