    Wallpaper settings


    Can anyone explain the difference between Stretch and Fill for the Wallpaper? Also, how can I use multi-monitor backgrounds?

    Not sure, but I think "Fill screen" will crop some of the picture if it doesn't have the same proportions (aspect ratio) as the screen, while "Stretch to fill screen" will resize the picture to match the proportions of the screen.

    If we go to Background Options, we can clearly see that wallpaper is stretched outside the frame in 'Fill' option.

    Hence, my opinion is:

    * Fill expands the wallpaper beyond the screen resolution with the same resolution ratio. As the above poster said, it is cropped. However, it seem to be stayed out of the screen visibility.

    * Stretch just stretches the current resolution of the wall paper to fit within the screen.

    Thanks guys. Can anyone tell me how to use multi-monitor wallpapers? I know there are third-party apps, but I am wondering if there is a way to do it natively.
