How create good textures for background of Start10

April 12, 2020 10:08:03 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I just love this program. I tried playing around with the textures used as a background for the 'All Programs' and the Start 10 menu. 

Using your provided texture called 'img104' as an example - that file is 1920x1200 . 96dpi, 24 bit color. 

So I created a file that exact size and characteristics. But when I try to use my file, only a small portion of the file gets displayed on the Start 10 screens. I tried it multiple times - just can't get it to work.

It's driving me a little crazy, because it seems so ... illogical.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please post  screenshot of what you are seeing so we can understand your issue. Here is what I get when I set that texture to one randomly selected 1920x1200 wallpaper.

Thank you for such a quick reply, BASJ.

Attached are 3 snaps. Well I take that back - I appear to be able to add only 1 picture. This one shows what it looks like when I add my picture to the program.

.

And this shows what shows up in the Start 10 menu. Only the left side (not even half) of the picture shows up.

Ahhhh ... I figured out my problem. I needed to switch on "Stretch to Show Entire Texture" in the Settings area of Appearance. 

Now they appear in full!
