Setting the Windows Wallpaper (desktop)

FotoAlbum allows you to easily change the Windows Wallpaper that appears as the background on your desktop. To change the wallpaper, you can right-click on a picture and use the "Wallpaper" option, or you can use the "File->Wallpaper" main menu option. These options are enabled only if a single picture is selected.

The following wallpaper options are available:

• Auto-sized: This resizes your picture (without distorting the aspect ratio) to fill your screen. Stretched also fills the screen, but distorts the picture to completely fill it. This option usually works best for pictures.
• Centered: This option will center your image without changing its size. If the picture is smaller than the screen, it will not fill it. Likewise, if it is larger, it will be "cropped" to fit the screen.
• Stretched: This option stretches the picture (or shrinks it) to fit the screen size exactly. This will change the aspect ratio of your picture to fit the screen. This generally does not work good for pictures due to the distortion that generally occurs.
• Tiled: This option will replicate a picture to fill the screen. It generally works best for small, patterns.
