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

17 as it seems to be in KDE. But my preference is to use Gnome.
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...

Thanks,

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
optionshttps://fedoraproject.org/__wiki/User:Skytux users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:users@lists.fedoraproject.org>
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.
