When using -b (background) the image should fill the screen

[bhepple]

So I'll be the second issue too!

I tried using the -b background option with an image smaller than my display and it put the image in the top left corner, leaving the rest of the screen exposed.

It would be nice if it added black bars to fill in the screen or shrunk the image if it were larger than the display - like 'imv -f' - see image

EDIT: I figured out how to do a screendump of the locked screen:

Thank you for reporting this! I think I'll remove the background option completely...

If you want to set a background you can use css:

window {
   background-image: url("image.png");
   background-size: contain;
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   background-position: center;
   background-color: black;
}

This works fine, thanks!

I would suggest that this be documented in the README as I, for one, would have no idea how to put together such a CSS file.

[jovanlanik]

Yeah, I'll work on improving the documentation. Thank you for your feedback!

FWIW - I'm getting much more pleasing results with:

   background-size: cover;

I'm really happy with gtklock ATM - particularly as swaylock is giving me grief lately (it always fails the first logon attempt) - so it has become my default!!!

Thank you!! :-)

Oh, I assumed you wanted the black bars, like in your first image! I'm glad gtklock is useful to you.

Black bars are better than exposing the desktop underneath - but stretching the image to fit is best of all.
