Hi, today i did an update of my gentoo system. This includes an update from from libfm/pcmanfm 1.0 to 1.0.1. After restarting my computer and X11 login i recognized that my Background Image isn't displayed correct. I have 2 Displays each of them 1280x1024, this gives a total resolution of 2560x1024 and my Background has this resolution. With Version 1.0.1 and git Version from today (about an hour ago) the image is displayed twice, on each Display once. So far i didn't have any other problems with 1.0.1. Then I went back to 1.0 to see if the problem isn't libfm/pcmanfm related, with 1.0 Background display is correct. kind regards gerald |

Panoramic images for background are very rare case and even if there is some, putting it onto backgroung is possible only if it's some nature lanscape, otherwise you will cut something. Have a half of face on side of one desktop and other half on other or have most of desktop filled with color (if image is not panoramic) is much worse. It's why from 1.0.1 version each monitor is handled separatedly. >With Version 1.0.1 and git Version from today (about an hour ago) the >image is displayed twice, on each Display once. >So far i didn't have any other problems with 1.0.1. >Then I went back to 1.0 to see if the problem isn't libfm/pcmanfm >related, with 1.0 Background display is correct. From my point of view, in the 1.0.0 background display was incorrect since I was forced to change background to just color which was anyway on most of desktop and half of face or half of flower on part of it and that look was too much unpleasant when image 1024x768 was put onto screen of size 3840x1080. Just try it sometime and you'll understand how terrible it is. But you're right, there should be a way to put some landscape on the desktop. I have some plans to implement different backgrounds for each of monitors so you will be able split your landscape in two and get whole of it on your two-monitor system. I'll implement it later. Thank you for the notice. With the best wishes. Andriy. |

Thank you for the > notice. Sounds great. Maybe you could also implement something like stretching the landscape background image to fit to the xinerama dimensions and make it configurable (like xinerama stretching = yes/no). > > With the best wishes. > Andriy. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Live Security Virtual Conference > Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and > threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
