--- Comment #3 from Karl-Johan Karlsson <creideiki+kdeb...@ferretporn.se> --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > Remembering the wallpaper per resolution (or scale factor) is possible, but > is it desirable? What's the actual use case here? My actual use case is that I use desktop wallpapers featuring artwork, not generic abstract colours. To make this look good, I resize and crop the images manually beforehand (since it would be impossible for Plasma to know what a good-looking crop would be). This also allows me to use the same base image on monitors with different aspect ratios, if it still looks good in all the different crop patterns. For a concrete example, see https://www.deviantart.com/kenket/art/Another-Day-Anywhere-596391668 (which is an acrylic painting of an African wild dog). The source image is 2442x1495px, which is neither 16:9 nor 16:10. However, with a few quick operations in GIMP, versions of it can be made that fit either 1920x1200 or 1920x1080. To accomplish this, I have a directory structure with one directory per resolution, e.g.: ~/backgrounds/1920x1080/ ~/backgrounds/1920x1200/ ~/backgrounds/2560x1440/ And have my Plasma wallpaper settings set to: Wallpaper type: Slideshow Positioning: Centered Background: Solid colour (black) With each monitor having the folder with images of the correct resolution selected. > Karl-Johan, can you be specific about how you trigger the bug? Ideally by > writing Steps To Reproduce that another person can follow. Thanks! I'm not sure how to be more specific, since it is not deterministic. * Connect a laptop to one set of external monitors. On each monitor, right-click the background, select "Desktop and Wallpaper", and select the folder containing images of the resolution matching the monitor. * Move the laptop to another set of external monitors, with different resolutions. Again, on each monitor, right-click the background, select "Desktop and Wallpaper", and select the folder containing images of the resolution matching the monitor. * Move back and forth between the sets of external monitors several times. I am not sure whether it makes a difference if the laptop is suspended first or if I just yank out the docking station cable while it's running. * Sometimes, wallpapers of the correct resolution appear on a newly connected monitor, without me having to change them. * Sometimes, wallpapers of the wrong resolution appear on a newly connected monitor, and I have to change them. This shows up by the wallpapers either having a large black border (wallpaper too small for the monitor) or missing their edges (wallpaper too large for the monitor). * Sometimes, after a change, the built-in monitor on the laptop shows wallpapers of the wrong resolution, even though this monitor hasn't changed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
