Desktop Background Scaling and RAM usage

0

I've been setting my wallpaper on all my computers to just a single pixel image, in order to conserve RAM for more important uses. But I wonder if, in the process of the OS scaling the image to screen size, that it just uses up that amount of RAM anyways? Anybody know how that works?

Welcome to Super User. What problem are you actually facing? If your system is suffering from low memory it would be better to solve that problem. – I say Reinstate Monica – 2019-09-08T15:23:05.230

i know, but that costs money. plus, some devices, you can't expand your ram. i just wanna know if this is a wasted effort and i should just embrace desktop wallpapers or not. – cyb3rcolby – 2019-09-08T15:28:40.953
