XnView Software

Hello. When i use "set as wall paper" (under tools) on any size image or setting . It is allways is maximum 25% of total my desk top. How do i make it the full desktop or at least 80% of it??
But if i do exacly this in xnview classic it is all ways the full desktop.

on windows?

Same problem here:



-4k (2160px) monitor. [The imagen created for XNviewMp is always 1080px regardless any fit choice i make. ]
-Windows 10 (i already try the DPI settings on windows and nothing works)
-XnviewMP (latest)


i hope someone can provide some info. Thanx in advance.

strange, which size has the original image?

Hey Pierre!... the image size is 4K ( 3840x2160). btw i love Xnview.

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.

I've seen this bug as well, I think it affects 0.98 branch.. if anyone has 0.97 branch please test

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.

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

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.
