Smart tab

BioniX Desktop Wallpaper Changer can automatically decide how to fit an image that is smaller or bigger than your desktop.

Smart enlarge/Smart stretch

If 'Smart Stretch' function is active then BioniX Desktop Wallpaper Changer will proportionally stretch an image to make it the same size as your desktop. You will not loose any part of the image. If this function is inactive then the image size will not be reduced and some parts of the image will be out of screen.

Smart tile

If 'Smart Tile' function is active and the image is much much smaller than your desktop, it will be automatically tiled. You can set the threshold in the 'Wallpaper' - 'Smart' tab.

Wallpaper style:

1. Smart = BioniX will try to find the best way to stretch smaller / larger images to fit your desktop. Tou must activate this function if you are using dual monitors.
2. Original size = Show current image at its original size. The image will be centered.
3. Windows classic stretch = Stretch the current image to fit the whole desktop (MS Windows default). It's not recommanded as it may distort your image if it doesn't have the same aspect ratio as your desktop.
4. Windows classic tile = Tile all images.

Tile effects

Images with area (area= height x width) smaller than this number will be tiled. For example, the picture below has a height of 280 pixels and a width of 180 pixels. Therefore its area is 50400. If we set the spin box below 50400, the desktop will look like the first screenshot. However, if we set the spin box above 50400, the desktop will look like the second screenshot:

 

Tile - The mirror effect

Applies a mirror effect on every odd image while tiling small images.The first screenshot is without mirror effect. As you can see there is a clear and unpleasant separation between images. The second screenshot shows the wallpaper with the mirror effect applied. As you can see the images are nicely merged.
