[Bug 259181] Re: KDM background image not displayed correctly on wide screen display

[grey]

Shouldn't the image be formatted to the smallest screen height/width
ratio you expect, then stretched to 100% of the screen width and the
height scaled the same and cropped?

To cover 4:3, 16:10 and 16:9 screens, you'd format the image 4:3 and set
width = "100%" height="scale".

That would not work for screens taller than they are wide (rotated
monitors for instance), but formatting the image to 9:16, putting the
original image in the middle and filling the open areas at the top and
bottom would handle all screens from 9:16 to 16:9. As far as I can tell,
this is how the scale and crop wallpaper position works.

You would have to reformat the background used with the splash screen to
match. RIght now it seems to be scaling both dimensions to 100%, which
would cause a shift in aspect ratio on anything but a 16:10 screen (I
think?)
