Wall paper not taking changes, remained full zoom mint 20.2

Post by lead67 »

Hi!

I recently installed cinnamon 20.2 everything working perfectly fine, until I selected the selections for span, zoom, stretch, etc. So now the wallpaper is just full blown on the desktop and not able to change or normal size. How can I fix this issue? I will appreciate the help. :(

UPDATE:

I created a user account and the wallpaper works fine. It is just the main or admin account, how do I fix it?

2nd UPDATE:
I FINALLY FOUND OUT THE CULPRIT. CONFIGURING THE OTHER ACCOUNT, I DOWNLOADED THE "SLIDER by mohammad-sn" AND ALL A SUDDEN THE WALLPAPER EXPANDED. UNINSTALL IT AND THAT FIXED THE ISSUE, SO I REMOVED IT FROM THE MAIN ACCOUNT.

Well, how do I install the Slider without impacting the wallpaper? does anyone have a solution to that issue?

Thanks
