#995: osgeo-desktop image needs to be "stretched"
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: micha | Owner: sac@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: OSGeoLive6.0Final
Component: Systems Admin | Keywords: desktop background
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
The desktop background "osgeo-desktop.png" is 1024x768. The current xfce4
desktop setting is __tiled__ so that on a widescreen monitor the desktop
image gets cut off on the side.
To change to __stretched__ the following diff needs to applied to
/etc/skel/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml :
{{{

Note that this causes the nice round OSGeo compass to become somewhat
squashed.
