Define "Default Background Position"

What are the definitions of the various settings?

from Stardock Forums

Is there a Deskscape 11 manual, or document, where the various "Settings" are defined/explained?

Some of the options under "Settings>>Default Background Position" are self-explanatory, others like 'Align Top' are not.

I have a 4K monitor 3840x2160. I want undersized images to fit, usually the vertical size, rather than stretch to fill.

What would be the appropriate default setting to allow for this?

Thanks.

Some of the options under "Settings>>Default Background Position" are self-explanatory, others like 'Align Top' are not.

So, lets say you have a background that is undersized and when you set if to fill, there is a feature at the bottom of the image that you want to show on the screen but it's cut off. Use the setting "Fill Bottom aligned" and now the bottom of the image is aligned at the bottom of your screen when it is filled. That feature at the bottom of the image you wanted to show now shows and more of the top of the image is cut off. As you can infer from this, the fill takes place starting at the top, middle, or bottom with these alignment settings.

Examples:

   CENTER

   FIT (stretches image vertically)

   STRETCH (stretches image horizontally)

   FILL TOP ALIGHNED

   FILL BOTTOM ALIGNED

Hope this helps.
