I meant the former, as did Mr. O'Connor. The experience was the same in<br>
17 as it seems to be in KDE. But my preference is to use Gnome. Which<br>
line of code am I to put where to get the same effect in Gnome? Perhaps<br>
this question is better put to the Developers group.<br>

Use this command to see how the image is rendered:<br>
<br>
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options<br>
<br>
and this command to change the rendering option:<br>
<br>
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options OPTION<br>
<br>
where OPTION can be one of the following values:<br>
<br>
none, wallpaper, centered, scaled, stretched, zoom, spanned.<br>
<br>
For example, to set a wallpaper with zoom option:<br>
<br>
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options zoom<br>

Are you talking about the desktop background image? I think<br>
that's a function of which desktop you are using. I use KDE,<br>
and nothing has changed -- you just right click on the<br>
background, choose "Default Desktop Settings" then choose (or<br>
open) the image, then pick the "scaled" option. I don't know<br>
how it's done in Gnome.<br>
<br>
Or do you mean the splash screen? I haven't played with that...<br>

In 17 there was an easy way to scale a photo for a<br>
background to the screen. In Fedora 18 this ease is gone. Is<br>
there a way to scale a photo to fit the screen without the<br>
ease of a button that I can do on my own?<br>
Thanks,<br>

Well I cannot speak for Mr. Vickery, but I was talking about the<br>
little button that was visible when you chose an image to become<br>
your desktop background in Gnome, this button gave you the options<br></div>
of Fill.....Center.....Tile......<u></u>__Span......Stretch etc the image<div class="im"><br>
you chose. It seems that as of F18 that's al changed? or was it<br>
changed within an update, because I seem to recall being able to do<br>
it! But with the button gone, when you select a picture, there's no<br>
way to scale it or stretch it or ANYTHING....all you have is the<br>
picture, and if it's not displayed properly you're pretty much<br>
"fluffed"!....<br>
