Desktop options of scale to fit etc. Ubuntu 17.10


Hello,

I have Ubuntu 17.10 64 bit with the latest updates.

I am the the gui, default wayland.

When I change my wallpaper I was wondering why you dont get the options like scale to fit or show original size etc.

I found if I run
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options "scaled"
then I can just change it for the current session.

Is there a gui tool to change walpapers as in centered or scaled.

Ahh,

I figured it out

I ran
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
and I have a gui based tool for the wallpaper options that I want.
