        I meant the former, as did Mr. O'Connor. The experience was the

        Which
        line of code am I to put where to get the same effect in Gnome?
        Perhaps
        this question is better put to the Developers group.


    Use this command to see how the image is rendered:

    $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options

    and this command to change the rendering option:

    $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options OPTION

    where OPTION can be one of the following values:

    none, wallpaper, centered, scaled, stretched, zoom, spanned.

    For example, to set a wallpaper with zoom option:

    $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options zoom

    HTH,

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

                 Or do you mean the splash screen? I haven't played with
        that...

             Well I cannot speak for Mr. Vickery, but I was talking
        about the
             little button that was visible when you chose an image to
        become
             your desktop background in Gnome, this button gave you the
        options
             of Fill.....Center.....Tile......____Span......Stretch etc

        the image

             you chose. It seems that as of F18 that's al changed? or was it
             changed within an update, because I seem to recall being
        able to do
             it! But with the button gone, when you select a picture,
        there's no
             way to scale it or stretch it or ANYTHING....all you have
        is the
             picture, and if it's not displayed properly you're pretty much
             "fluffed"!....

Thanks very much German! (Please forgive my lack of the accent; I lack
the expertise of how to add this)

You are very welcome... no problem about the accent :)

Germán.


How about background- colour options with my picture; it only gives a black background, where before I chose blue. This option, however, is not as important.
