Desktop Background

[brainiac]

Now when I select one of my saved photographs to 'set as desktop background', it appears huge, so only about half of it fills the screen.  I haven't changed any settings (that I know of) - any ideas please how I can get them to appear 'normal'?

My guess is that there must be a 'fit to screen' setting somewhere. Check the settings for one.

This is for Windows 11 but it should be roughly similar in other versions of Windows:

Right-click on your desktop.

Select 'Personalise'.

Click 'Background'.

Click 'Choose a fit for your desktop image'.

Choose either 'Stretch' or 'Fill'. ('Stretch' makes the image fill your screen but, if your picture is a different shape to your screen, will distort it.  'Fill' avoids distortion but can result in a border at the sides or the edges being cut off.  If your image is the same shape as your screen though, either option will work perfectly).

Brilliant Chris, thank you. Just seen this and it works a treat - easy when you know how!
