Vista wallpaper size

[JC]

Using Vista Business, when I choose the 'centre' option for desktop
wallpaper, the image is stretched so that it reaches from the top to the
bottom of the screen. It does the same thing when I use the 'tile' option,
tiling magnified versions of the image instead of the normal size.

This is kind of annoying because on high resolution it means small size
images look real bad...any ideas how to fix this?

I have a 22" widescreen monitor. I took a pix and cropped a portion of the
image to a 16x9 ratio and my shelties picture turned out perfect. If your
monitor isn't 16x9, use a 5x4 ratio.

The problem happened with any pixel dimension, and changing the ratio to 16*9
made the image fill the screen, but the problem was Windows was stretching
the image on the centre setting - instead of displaying the picture at its
original size (300*300 pixels on a 1680*1050 resolution), the image was
stretched so it reached the top and bottom screen, regardless of right and
left borders, which ruined the quality.

However, choosing the image from the actual desktop background menu rather
than the 'set as desktop background' option on the right click seems to have
fixed the problem. Thanks anyway!
