Question

Intune - pushed wallpaper doesn't fit

Petr Hois 1

Hello everyone. We have corporate wallpapers and LockScreen images deployed within Intune management. We have these images published within Azure Blob, the deployment works ok.

But now I'm getting to the BUT - on some computers the resolution doesn't fit, there is a black line above the image. Is there a way to solve this? We have deployed the images using device restrictions and there is no such option as "fill".

Turn off "Screen Background Motion"
The registry key for this is AnimateLockScreenBackground
Example of remediation powershell:
# ---------------[Parameters]-------------- #

$RegistryPath = 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization\'

$Name0 = 'AnimateLockScreenBackground'

$Value0 = 00000001

$Type0 = 'DWord'

<#

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization

#>

# ---------------[Create the key if it does not exist]-------------- #

If (-NOT (Test-Path $RegistryPath)) {

New-Item -Path $RegistryPath -Force | Out-Null

}

# ---------------[Now set the value]-------------- #

New-ItemProperty -Path $RegistryPath -Name $Name0 -Value $Value0 -PropertyType $Type0 -Force | Out-Null

@Petr Hois, Thanks for posting in Q&A. From your description, it sounds like the issue might be related to the resolution of the images not matching the screen resolution of some devices.

You can manually test on these affected devices and make sure the images you are deploying match the native resolution of the devices. You might need to create multiple versions of the wallpaper for different screen resolutions and deploy via different policies.

Hope the above information can help.

Good morning, @Crystal-MSFT

Thank you very much for the information. Of course, what you mention is a logical step, however, the laptop display may have a different resolution and the connected external monitor may have a different one. So is there no way to configure the image to fill the entire screen?

Hm, I have an idea - could a new configuration profile be applied additionally (OMA-URI?), which would modify the "WallpaperStyle" registry key in the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System registries?

I found this policy, I'll just try configuring "fill" only here and see if everything works correctly. Does it make any sense?

@Petr Hois, Thanks for your reply. After researching, I find the "Fill" wallpaper style policy in Windows is one of several options you can use to set how your desktop wallpaper is displayed. When you choose the "Fill" option, the image will be resized to fit the screen's width while maintaining its aspect ratio. This means that the image will be enlarged or shrunk proportionally to ensure that it covers the entire width of the screen, but it may crop parts of the image if the aspect ratio of the image does not match the screen's aspect ratio

So I think it can make sense. You can try it.
