My primary monitor (where the windows logon stuff shows up) is a 24" monitor turned to portrait mode so it has a resolution of 1200 (width) by 1920 (height). I have an image I'd like to use as the background that is the same size.

When I set it in displayfusion, it looks fine in the preview. In real life, however, there is a black bar at the top and bottom of the screen and the image is either squished or cropped. I've tried all the options for sizing.

I'm guessing this is a windows limitation, but if I select maintain aspect ratio, shouldn't df do that? Is there any way to get around this and fill the screen with the image?

Thanks!

I've tried both -- as well as all the other settings. I've attached a cellphone photo of the monitor -- you can see the black stripes at the top and bottom. (My kids aren't quite that squashed.) I figure that Windows probably can't handle a full-screen (1920px high) image at that point, but then I'd expect it to crop or resize without squashing? (Not sure if I'm making sense; hopefully you can get the idea.)

Thanks!

It is connected via VGA. Once past the login screen, though. it looks normal. (It's a Dell U2410, if that matters.)

I played around with the settings and couldn't get it to look right -- and doing so affected the monitor in non-login-screen mode.

At this point, I strongly suspect that it's a Windows problem (the squashing) and there's nothing you can do about it -- DF is likely showing it properly and Windows is screwing it up. (Which is the one thing Windows is really, really good at.)
