Why does the wallpaper not fit the whole screen?

[abstract blade]

Try setting the wallpaper with the --set-scaled switch

[wet halo]

ok

nope!

did not work

[abstract blade]

what was the command you used

[wet halo]

I put it in my xinitrc

nitrogen --restore --set-scaled &

[wet halo]

Did I set it wrong?

[abstract blade]

use --set-scaled initially when setting the wallpaper

[wet halo]

I apologize but

how can I do that?

Is that from nitrogen

the console?

[abstract blade]

how did you set the wallpaper in the first place?

[wet halo]

I went to nitrogen

added it

and then clicked apply

[abstract blade]

Oh nvm

Try --set-zoomed

[wet halo]

okay

no luxk

and +

it doesnt even load

i id

nitrogen --set-zoomed --restore &

maybe its the order?

let me try

nope, still no luk

[abstract blade]

Oh maybe it’s --set-zoom

[wet halo]

will try

/usr/share/fonts/TTF/JetBrains Mono NL Thin Nerd Font Complete Mono.ttf: JetBrainsMonoNL Nerd Font Mono:style=Thin,Regular

need this for later

[wet halo]

this time it ran

and the wallpapoer saved

but it didnt zoom in or scale

Just do feh --bg-fill /urwallpaper/

Its way better than nitrogen

[abstract blade]

I was assuming they actually wanted to use nitrogen, but yea, that’s the real way to go.

feh --bg-fill

ok it's your screen res prob u have to use convert to convert to ur res this is part of one of my script u might wanna see:

    wallpaper_resolution=$(identify -format "%wx%h" $wallpaper)

    err " Display resolution is: ""$display_resolution"""
    err " Wallpaper resolution is: $wallpaper_resolution"

    if [ "$wallpaper_resolution" != "$display_resolution" ]
    then
        
        err "Scaling wallpaper to match resolution"
        convert $wallpaper -resize $display_resolution "$cache_dir"/"$filename"0."$extension"
        wallpaper="$cache_dir"/"$filename"0."$extension"

[wet halo]

Yea I used feh
