Information Frame

The information frame (also called taskpane) gives information about the currently selected wallpaper or layout.

Wallpaper Information

The "Wallpaper Info" pane displays some general information about a selected wallpaper. The first thing that is displayed is the type of the wallpaper which can be an Image Wallpaper, Gradient Wallpaper or URL Wallpaper. The name of the wallpaper is displayed below the wallpaper type. For file-based wallpapers, only the filename is shown. When you click on the little arrow on the right of the filename, the name will be expanded and the full path of the wallpaper will be shown.

Width and height displays the width respectively height of the selected wallpaper. For gradient wallpapers this will be n/a because there is no real size of a gradient wallpaper. The last thing in the Wallpaper Info pane is a little preview of the selected wallpaper.

The second section is called "Wallpaper Tags". Get more details about this section. (Not available in the Lite version)

The "Wallpaper Settings" pane allows you to change the following settings of the selected wallpaper.

  • Background Color: Change the background that will be used for the desktop when this wallpaper is set. Learn more about the automatic setting.
  • Text Color: Change the text color of the icons on the desktop when this wallpaper is set. Learn more about the automatic setting.
  • Tiling: Change the tiling setting of this wallpaper. There are several tiling options available:

    • Stretch: The wallpaper will be stretched and aspect ratio is kept into account.
    • Stretch (No aspect): The wallpaper will be stretch without keeping aspect ratio into account.
    • Stretch to Fill: The wallpaper is scaled to fill the entire screen while keeping the correct aspect ratio of the image. Depending on the aspect ratio of the monitor and of the wallpaper this will be either stretch to height or stretch to width.
    • Stretch to height: The wallpaper will be stretched so that the entire height of the wallpaper is visible.
    • Stretch to width: The wallpaper will be stretched so that the entire width of the wallpaper is visible.

These applications can either be executed whenever that wallpaper is shown on the desktop or when that wallpaper is removed from the desktop. Learn more about the possibilities of this feature.
