Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.1.1-8
Severity: wishlist
The attached patch fixes fbsetbg so that it preserves the aspect ratio
when using feh to set the background image.
>From the fbsetbg man page if the -a option was given it would attempt to
maximize the image while preserving the aspect ratio otherwise it would
fall back to -f.
When the screen size is different than the size of the image the result
is that the image fills the screen but the aspect ratio is not preserved.
Using feh directly it is possible to set the background image and
preserve the aspect ratio using the following command.
feh --bg-fill <some image>
But when fbsetbg calls feh it does not use this option.
fbsetbg -a -r ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds/
Examining the source of fbsetbg it can be seen that the -a 'aspect' option
is simply an alias to the -f 'full' option.
