Method "span" missing

Open pjkersten opened this issue 12 years ago • 4 comments

When using multiple monitor setups, the "span" method is used to fill all monitors with a single background image. Wallpapoz is missing this method, which makes it unsuitable as a replacement for manual labor (change background) in a multi monitor setting.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

I developed Wallpapoz without considering multi monitor setup. I do not have multi monitor.

Never mind. You could add the placement method just the same: scale/zoom/fill are valid settings for a single monitor setup. Adding one non testable method (scale) on top of that should be no sweat. Other people can give feedback on that. It's called "open source" for a reason :-)

I know this issue is a bit old, but I have a quick fix for this on my fork. I'll send a pull request once I can spin up some VMs and test it on other window managers besides cinnamon.

This fixes this issue for the Gnome(3) backend.

When using other backends (I tried Xfce4) it crashes daemon_wallpapoz. (KeyError on available_style)

Xfce can be fixed by introducing a dummy style (I used {'5': '6'}), which must then set /backdrop/screen0/xinerama-stretch to true, or false for the other styles. I didn't look at the others.
