Wallpaper width
« on: April 04, 2010, 08:42:26 PM »
How do I set an image on its original size when using it as background?  ???

If I choose "Scale" the image will be stretched out and deformed. Choosing "Tile" will duplicate the image side by side.  :P

Thanks everybody  ;D

You could change the output which is the file .setbackground. Change -full to -center.

Roberts,

I couldn't find that parameter. Here's my  /home/tc/.setbackground file:

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
Esetroot /opt/backgrounds/tux.jpg
[ -x /usr/bin/wbar.sh ] && wbar.sh

I'm using TC v2.8

Thanks for the reply.

just have a look into /etc/skel/.setbackground in order to find the command you need.

I am stating the obvious, but you could update to the latest version.
Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.

Esetroot --center should work.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

--help parameter when executed in a terminal as in Esetroot --help should give you enough clues. Remember that because you will find the same problem when you update to TC 2.10 and hsetroot

Another example, "same problem", instead of a request, idea or suggestion.
It is simple to add I will do so, even with the lack of civility that is now so pervasive.

Let me rephrase it:

I'll do suggest teaching a new user how is it that others know how to do what he/she intends. Syntax of Esetroot and hsetroot differs.

Give him/ her the exact parameter, and the next time TC is updated he/she would be as clueless as she/he is now. Teach her/ him how to find it by *self and will hopefully teach others as well.
