    Because you have 6 lines of tiles, in my test i have only five.
    Now my progs are fixed for all resoltion with an height of 1080 or 1050 or 1024 or 900 or 768 or 720 or 600 and default lines of tiles.
    Now i am going to fix if you are more lines of tiles than defaut value for your current resolution.

    Shenj can you me give the reg key to have a fixed background, to adding a check in my apps to not strech image if it's activate, thanks.

    Hey Vizion, I believe this is the code you are looking for, thanks Shenj!

    Code:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid] 
    "Layout_MaximumRowCount"=dword:00000010

    This is the tweak for add more lines of tiles, what i need is the tweak to use background as fixed image.

    Vizion, not to be rude or impatient but did you manage to fix the bug that leaves a thin colour border still on the wallpaper. My screen size is 1366x768 and 1360x768.

    Well on Windows Phone, you have the Panorama, which offers a paralax effect as you scroll to the side. It gives a feeling of depth, as if the content/tiles are floating above the background.

    As for the background image itself... It is split into top and bottom, as it is meant to add some texture to the top and bottom of the screen, and using a flat colour to fill in the rest of the space. It is not intended to be used for a full screen image, and allows the use of only two versions of the texture image to work on all screen sizes.

    That's awesome, kldpdas! :)

    What I wound up doing is, starting with my 1440x900 pic (my screen resolution), reduce the height by 105 pixels keeping the aspect ratio. Then increase the canvas size by 50 pixels at the bottom, 55 pixels at the top (important, at the moment) and 75 pixels to the left (not 80, in my case). Add enough canvas to the right to reach 1600 pixels in width.

    Worked perfectly with Vizion's program.
