GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318201
"Fill screen" should maintain wallpaper aspect ration
Last modified: 2005-12-31 13:24:12 UTC
When I select wide wallpaper from Desktop Wallpaper Preferences and set Style to Fill screen the wallpaper gets scretched and the content looks distorted. I propose that instead of blind scaling the image could be cropped while aspect ratio is kept. In case of wider-than-screen image this would mean that height of the resulting bitmap is same as screen height and the area near the left and right edge is cropped away. In other words behavior would be similar to "Scaled" style but instead of margins in top and bottom part of the image in left and right is left out of the screen.
Reassigning.
