Add "Scale (fit)" background image mode #2023
base: master
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
Can you maybe clean this PR up a bit and remove all the l10n changes and other unrelated changes that are merged in? Having those makes this very hard to review at the moment. |
Sorry about that, will do 👍 |

The current "Scale" mode crops out part of the image if the scaled image is larger than the terminal in any direction. This is useful for most cases, such as wallpapers repurposed as terminal backgrounds. However, this may be surprising to users coming from xfce4-terminal, where the equivalent "Scaled" mode tries to fit the background within the terminal in both dimensions. This new "Scale (fit)" mode is meant to emulate this behaviour.

I've removed the localization changes and tidied up the scaling code. Please let me know if you'd like me to make any further changes. |

I'm aware that Tilix is currently in low-maintenance mode and looking for a new maintainer, but since this mostly builds off of the "Scale" background image mode, I feel that this addition is fairly minor. Feel free to close this PR if it would carry too much of a maintenance burden.
Here are some examples of the differences between "Scale" and "Scale (fit)" using a typical background and a background well suited to "Scale (fit)":

Typical background, Scale (fit)
