Hey guys,

i'd guess that you are already aware of this but I wanted to express that there are people that like the following feature :)

Since controll-center of gnome 3.6, the wallpaper-settings do not allow to adjust the wallpaper scaling method. The old controll-center wallpaper-settings component could do that.

Currently, there is only one way to change the scaling behavior, by modifying the key "org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options".
The possible values are "wallpaper", "centered", "scaled", "stretched", "zoom" and "spanned". The current default is zoom.
But in some cases, I have for example wallpapers that need the mode "wallpaper" to look properly.

I wonder if you are planning to implement a feature to the background-component where you can set these "picture-options" in 3.8? If not, wouldn't it be better to use the old settings component until the new one has a litte more features (like selecting a folder to look for wallpapers in etc.)?

I'd guess that especially new linux users that are maybe *not so convinced* of unity will notice these things fast (first thing on a new desktop: change wallpaper) and may not even consider gnome-shell as an alternative.

So long! :)
