| | Vista wallpaper size Using Vista Business, when I choose the 'centre' option for desktop wallpaper, the image is stretched so that it reaches from the top to the bottom of the screen. It does the same thing when I use the 'tile' option, tiling magnified versions of the image instead of the normal size. This is kind of annoying because on high resolution it means small size images look real bad...any ideas how to fix this? |

If your monitor isn't 16x9, use a 5x4 ratio. Ron |

| | Re: Vista wallpaper size The problem happened with any pixel dimension, and changing the ratio to 16*9 made the image fill the screen, but the problem was Windows was stretching the image on the centre setting - instead of displaying the picture at its original size (300*300 pixels on a 1680*1050 resolution), the image was stretched so it reached the top and bottom screen, regardless of right and left borders, which ruined the quality. However, choosing the image from the actual desktop background menu rather than the 'set as desktop background' option on the right click seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks anyway!
