# Wallpaper object

Convert a graphic object or group of objects to wallpaper to:

- Lock the selected object or group into position on the graphic display
- Make the object or group an unchanging background for the other objects on the graphic display
- Make the object(s) become static object(s)
- Speed up animated graphic displays because the wallpaper does not have to be redrawn each time when one of the overlapping objects changes.

  Tip: | You cannot select or edit a wallpaper object during development, and the wallpaper object does not accept operator input at runtime. To select or edit the object, unlock the wallpaper by selecting Edit > Wallpaper > Unlock All Wallpaper. The wallpaper objects cannot be animated.
