Screen Orientation and Wallpaper Rotation (on Tablet PCs)
Question
-
On Tablet PCs, screen orientation can be changed so that any side of the screen can become "the bottom" of the desktop.
Unfortunately, the result is that a wallpaper intended for a 1200 x 800 desktop, is stretched to fill a 800 x 1200 desktop. See the effect in the attached images.
Is there any way to lock wallpapers to a physical side of a screen?

You can't lock the wallpaper so that it does not rotate because Windows 7 resets the screen in a way that (the orientation) is more or less invisible to the applications.
You can change the way the image is streched or cropped though.
Right Click on the desktop (touch: hold down your finger until a circle appears around it.)
Click Personalize
Click Desktop Background
Select Picture position Fill, (or basically anything other than Strech) and the picture will never be distorted.
I use images that are cropped square, preferably with dimensions of the largest screen dimension, so 1200x1200 for your screen.
