THere is a bug in the aspect stretching code. If the pixmap is wider than it is tall, it is stretched to fit the target rectangle's height, and if it is taller than it is wide it is stretched to match the target width. For example, if the pixmap and has this format: +------+ | | | | | | | | | | +------+ And the menu this: +------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------+ The pixmap only occupies the upper part of the menu. I think we a "TiledAspectPixmap" option too. Bye Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
