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

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

        open) the image, then pick  the "scaled" option.  I don't know

        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"!....
