Scaling maps to fill the screen is ugly, so the new maps
<http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=38186> feature a tileable
background on which they may be drawn to eliminate the need for scaling the
map itself in most cases. Some engine support is needed to make it work,
though.
This is how the maps are intended to be drawn, both in the title screen as
well as story screens:
Background:
1. Scaled (preserving aspect ratio) so that it fills the window in the
vertical dimension.
2. Centered horizontally.
3. Tiled horizontally to both left and right, if window width is greater than
the image width after the scaling done in step 1.
Map:
1. Downscaled (preserving aspect ratio) so that it fills the window in the
vertical dimension, if the image height is greater than the window height.
2. If the window height exceeds 1440px, the map should be upscaled by
multiplying its dimensions by (windowheight / 1440).
3. Centered both horizontally and vertically.
I have no specific suggestion for how this should be implemented WML-wise. One
possibility might be to add all the required functionality to [part] and
[image], and then allow the title screen to be defined using those same tags.
For testing purposes, the background image can be found at
