I have searched through every menu and text file I could find, and I can't find the answer to this question. I have set a background in Window Maker, but the background is too small to fit my resolution. I want to either center it or scale it, but I don't know how (tiled is the default).

btw, sorry for cross-posting, but my post on the other board is two days old and still doesn't have a response.

Ok, open your ~/GNUstep/Defaults folder. Edit the WindowMaker file. Go to the bottom, your background should be listed in a line such as WorkspaceBack = ( tpixmap, "path/to/file", someotherstuff)

To center it, change the tpixmap to cpixmap - the c obviously stands for center. If you want to scale it, use spixmap, and if you want to scale it x:y, use mpixmap.
