Wallpaper style defaults to stretched, need it centered

[Guest DPugel]

Hello,

 

We have a custom wallpaper call it custom.bmp say sized at 800x600. In the

Display Properties, if we set it to "centered", Apply, then change the

wallpaper to a different one, Apply it, then return to custom.bmp, the style

or position of it changes to "stretched" when it should be "centered" like we

originally chose. Why is that? It should have kept to "centered." We can't

have people at our company continuing to manually change it back to

"centered" when that was the original setting.

 

It doesn't matter what resolutions we choose, doesn't matter what hardware

with different sized monitors, doesn't matter if we use a larger or smaller

custom.bmp than what the physical screen size is.

 

Using a built-in Windows wallpaper that's originally "tiled" stays tiled.

For example, if you selected tiled1.bmp and "center" it, Apply, choose

another wallpaper, Apply, and then go back to tiled1.bmp, the position will

default to "tiled," not centered. How do we inherently give our custom.bmp a

built-in "centered" value or attribute? What causes Windows to behave like

this?

 

Thank you for any help,
