Revision history [back]

Having run xplanet depicting moonphases on my Linux desktops for more than 15 years I was pleased to find xplanet and xplanet-background on OpenRepos. I promptly got and installed them. xplanet works and xplanet-backgrouns doesn't with SFOS 2.2.18. Which is fine -- moon doesn't change all that much, so if I must I can generate a new image each day and replace the one on the desktop. It's a pain, but there are worse things.

Problem is, xplanet generates a nice, round image that shows up perfectly in the Gallery, but if it is then made into an Ambience the thing has its sides lopped off. I cannot imagine that anyone would have deliberately done this, inasmuch as it makes no sense to just up and crop pictures for no reason. Which means I must have inadvertently set something incorrectly. Try as I might, I cannot find any such setting.

If there is no such setting, is there a utility somewhere that I can install that will let me have background images that look the way I want? Alternately, does anyone have the secret to getting xplanet-background to work on >2.22 versions of SFOS?

And while I'm here, if I want to uninstall the multitude of background images that I do not and never will use, where would they be located so that I might put them out of my misery?

Thanks!
