<p>I am currently using v. 1.2.9 and it stretches the background to fit my screen. I like this feature, and do not notice any significant amount of distortion that would cause me to want to choose to maintain the aspect ratio of the background image.</p>
<p>I am trying out the newest beta version, and it defaults to maintain the aspect ratio of all images used in the background themes, which leaves black bars on the sides of all of my backgrounds. I currently use a 16x10 widescreen tv to project, and the images stretch and look just fine. I would just like the option of choosing whether to maintain aspect ratio or to stretch the image to fit the screen. Please can we have the freedom in the 'edit theme' wizard to choose?</p>
