Recently updated to 18.04.1 and now I cannot resize my background image from fill screen to center image. How can I resize the image now that 18 doesnt have the quick resize feature?
01 Answer
to know the current picture-option run the below command in terminal
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options
Example:
pratap@pratap:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom' in my case, the result is 'zoom'
to know the available options for 'picture-options' run the below command in terminal
gsettings range org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options
Example:
pratap@pratap:~$ gsettings range org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options enum 'none' 'wallpaper' 'centered' 'scaled' 'stretched' 'zoom' 'spanned' pratap@pratap:~$ to use the option centered from the available options from above range, use the below command
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'centered'
Example:
pratap@pratap:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'centered' pratap@pratap:~$ Use as below
for Background = org.gnome.desktop.background
for Lock Screen = org.gnome.desktop.screensaver
GUI way
open gnome-tweaks.
if not yet installed, install it by the command sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
find the options under Background and Lock Screen as Adjustment and choose from available.
background color can be changed with this answer as a guideline only. available options are solid, gradient horizontal and gradient vertical.
