Notes

1. \SetWatermarkColor is not working in my texlive installation, although its given in official documentation of   draftwatermark package. Somebody suggested to update LaTex installation as colored watermark came in Jan, 2012

2. Notice that Commands begin with capital S like \Set and Watermark is a single word with only W in capital but m small

3. It works for textual watermark. For image watermarks, wait for my next post on same.
