Tile Wallpaper #95

Open tomasantunes opened 6 years ago

tomasantunes commented 6 years ago

Currently there are the following options for wallpapers: "Centered", "Zoom", "Spanned". It would be nice to have tiled mode as well.

We've explicitly not added tiling support, as there are few wallpapers where it looks good, and it's super easy to get something that looks awful. I don't know that we've reversed that decision.

Re-opening for discussion (@donadigo had some thoughts), though I'm not super convinced it's something we want to add due to the amount of special casing we'd want to add to make it work well.

@danrabbit brought up only showing the tile option if we detect it as a tilable image, but I don't know how reliable that can be; some patterns would be perfectly tileable but might not look like it to an algorithm, some images might have a solid color border and tile really well, while others would not, etc.
