Hi, I have some photos and picture in my folder, but when I use Variety the images are larger then the screen. Can you build/create an option to Variety size the wallpapers to fit the screen? Not sure if I understood the guidelines...

@temudjin7 Did you try in the preferencies on the second tab in wallpaper the display modes? I use zoom as it does not distort the picture but still I have it spread for the whole display.

I don't seem to have any option to "fit" or "zoom" pictures to the monitor size. So if it is a portrait photo, it gets clipped off top and bottom. Running on Mint Cinnamon, BTW

You are on some old Variety version. Fixed in #518.

Am I missing something? Not sure how else to upgrade to latest?

All good... Found these instructions and now works... Although I'd like to know why the normal Mint install didn't get the latest version?
