WallPaper styles

Stretch

• The dimensions (width x height) of the WallPaper will not be respected.
• The WallPaper will be stretched, both vertical and horizontal, to fix in the dimensions of the screen.
• In case the dimensions of the WallPaper do differ from the dimensions of the screen, stretching of the WallPaper might be perceived by the User as a "distorted" WallPaper.

Example

Tile

Tile should be used with a "small image", small relative to the size of the desktop. The small image will be "tiled" across the desktop.

Example

Center

• If the dimensions of the WallPaper are identical to the dimensions of the Screen, then the WallPaper will fit perfectly on the Desktop.
• If the dimensions of the WallPaper are different from the dimensions of the Screen, the WallPaper will not be re-sized, and will be placed at the center of the Desktop.
  • If the WallPaper is bigger then the Desktop, parts of the WallPaper are not shown.
  • If the WallPaper is smaller then the Desktop, parts of the Desktop are not covered.

Example

Fit

• Fit will resize the WallPaper, while respecting the dimensions of the WallPaper.
• The WallPaper will be resized such that if will "fit" in the Desktop.
• Because the WallPaper will not be stretched, it might happen that either horizontal or vertical, parts of the WallPaper are not visible / are cut-off.

Example
