The experience was the same in 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, Germán. On Feb 24, 2013 7:40 PM, "Eddie G.

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... billo On Sun, 24 Feb 2013, Richard Vickery wrote: In 17 there was an easy way to scale a photo for a background to the screen. In Fedora 18 this ease is gone. Is there a way to scale a photo to fit the screen without the ease of a button that I can do on my own? Thanks, Richard 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"!....

(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.
This may help you: $ gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.background color-shading-type draw-background picture-opacity picture-options picture-uri primary-color secondary-color show-desktop-icons $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#FFFFFF' For example, to set blue background: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color '#0000FF' HTH, Germán. -- Germán A.
