Fine for me spanned over two monitors (World extent 3580@1014) in Vista.

Note that there is a shorter message form for setting the background image:

World backgroundImage: (ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: 'pharoBackground.png') layout: #scaled

Alternatively, as before, having a .jpg file in your image/changes directory with the name matching the theme name will load upon theme change (Watery 2.jpg for instance)

Hi folks. I re-try (yes, yes, I re-insist hahaha) to have a background picture for the PharoDev 1.1. The last time I tried, we had a problem with the picture because in big screens instead of making it bigger, it put it several times, or it cut it. Now, thanks to Gary, it should work well.

So, if you are a lucky guy an have a big screen, can you please take the latests PharoCore 1.1 image, for example this:

https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/26995/PharoCore-1.1-11357-UNSTABLE.zip


How to test it ?

- Download this in the same directory where the .image is:
https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/26996/pharoBackground.png

Then evaluate:

World backgroundMorph:
� �((UITheme builder
� � � �newAlphaImage: (ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: 'pharoBackground.png') help: nil)
� � � �autoSize: false;
� � � �layout: #scaled;
� � � �lock)


What to test ?

- You should stretch the pharo image, make it very big, and the background picture should stretch also together with the image.
- If you notice a performance decrease with it (I don't think so)
- If you like it or not.
- If the resolution is good enough in big screens


Thanks!

Mariano
