I've been having the same issue for many years now with XNViewMP on Windows 10, this didn't happen with Classic.
Trying to set a wallpaper with any of the size settings on any image size sets only a small image in the middle of the desktop...

Is there any way to change that?

Which desktop size? Which image size used? And which wallpaper settings?

I have the same problem on Windows 10. When I go to Tools - Set as wallpaper, it only covers a part of my desktop.

OS: Windows 10 Home (x64) Build 18363.1316 (1909/November 2019 Update)
XnView MP Version 0.98.1 64bits (Jan 20 2021)

Desktop resolution: 1920x1080
Image resolution: 1920x1080 (download image)

Wallpaper settings: all of them, I tried Centered, Tiled, Scaled, Fit, Fill, all of them give the same result.

::EDIT:: currently my Nvidia Driver version is 456.71, not sure if updating it will matter. But I'll try and update here if it solves the problem.

Old Versions

You could probably test easily using a ZIP version.

Ok I've tested using the zip version. On my system (Win x64), this bug only happens on 0.98.1

0.98.0 and and 0.97.1 don't have this bug.

I can't reproduce, no problem with 0.98.1 to set wallpaper

Turns out if I change this windows settings to 100%, then Xnview will set the wallpaper correctly.

But I never change any of this settings before, and the default has always been 125%.

On 0.97.1 and 0.98.0, Xnview will set the wallpaper correctly even when the windows scale settings is 125%

I'm the same as "hue" I use 125% DPI but I'm at 1920x1200 (16:10)
Standard preset scaling NOT custom scaling
