Ok...I guess it's a limit of the png format in particular, but THIS file. I mean, even if I convert it, I will get same results I gues...

Now, I don't know where this image came from. Samuel Morello ? Can we ask someone for a new one with better resolution ?

Thanks

Thanks mariano.

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....

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!

Alain, maybe we can have a setting in the setting broswer called "Wallpaper" or "Background picture" that opens a file dialog and let you choose the image from disk ? Then you evaluate this code ;) Cheers Mariano

- 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

It does stretch, question is why should it stretch? I find that when you make it very wide or very narrow it looks a bit strange. Why not just center the background image?

I don't know. For me is the same. In my pc it is the same ;) When I released a image with such picture as background people complained that they wanted stretch...

I guess so, you could go further and give the option to center stretch, or tile ... but I am not too fussed about the background image -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Help-testing-Pharo-1-1-in-big-screens-tp2201495p221665...
