In Ubuntu 13.04 with Unity, if you choose an image that is smaller in pixel resolution than your monitor, a drop-down will appear in the main pane of the appearance window giving you the choice of tile, zoom, centre, scale, fill, span. If you choose an image that is larger, the drop-down disappears. In other words, you have the options you want when they are applicable.

Kicking off of Coffecat's response, what about simply editting the image before adding it as your desktop wallpaper?

ok i just wanted {i know wants and needs
it does not work for smaller images and or larger images
i know i can resize the image with a graphics program
but it was ex·treme·ly nice of ubuntu dev`s to not to do so
i installed unity tweak tool, with out rebooting and unity 2d without rebooting
and no go

i upgraded from a wubi upgrade, from my ubuntu desktop new updated software upgrade
i guess it bonkered my system
is there any way to fix it without reinstalling
i know that upgrades arent as stable as just a new install
all i know is i used a new install on my new harddrive and i have the options to resize the desktop background
knowledge is power
