Wall paper sizing

I have been having trouble with Windowblinds 6.3-6.4 and Vista not resizing wall papers to fill the screen.  I have windowblinds wallpaper settings to Smart Mode and Vista Desktop set to fit screen with cropping.

I'm sorry this isn't an answer to your question but as shown above I was wondering if you could tell me where I could make these changes on my vista set.  Wallpaper size 1280x1024.  Thank you for any help

I know this isn't the answer you want BUT, I call the wallpaper into my paint program and resixe the closest downloaded wallpaper to the size of me screen res.  and while I'am there I convert all the jpg's to BMP's.  Looks better and I'am not hurting on HD space.

Sargan,

If I understand your question, you are wanting to make the change to size using Windows Vista, not Windowblinds.

To make the changes in Vista OS right click on your desktop (context menu should appear), select Personalize from the list and then choose Desktop Background from the Personlize appearance and sounds list (second from the top) .  You should come to a window that has a heading Choose a Desktop Background.  At the bottom of the window there is a section called How should the Picture be positioned. If you run your mouse curser over each of the pictures you should get a little pop up telling you what each selection does to your background.   I use fit screen with cropping as this doesn't distort the picture.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply, WOM.   I have a whole lot of photos that I use and this would be a major project to resize them so that's likely not an option for me.

maybe a conflict due to the cropping? don't have vista so just guessing

what happens if you just pick fit to screen and let WB smart resize?

You might try batch commands in PS to resize your images, a quick google will net you plenty of tutorials.

Same thing happens with fit to screen, Bichur

vStyler,

I used an Image resizer as you suggested and it worked great.  Thanks for the tip.
