    how to fit gnome-terminal background image to actual window size

    Hi! I have a nice background for my gnome-terminal, but I always see only parts of it. How can I make it automatically adjust to it's size?

    So far what I found is that there is not specific option to fit the image according to the window size. For now I resized the image (on trail and error base) using Gimp and using it.

    Any other help will be definitely appreciated. Thank you.

    You may want to consider switching to rxvt-unicode terminal; it's more lightweight and according to a lot of people better than gnome-terminal. You can do what you asked with urxvt like this:
    Code:
    urxvt -pixmap '/path/to/image.png'
    This will stretch the image to your terminal size; check the difference with
    Code:
    urxvt -pixmap '/path/to/image.png;geom:root'
