To set background for Layout:
1. Expand Users to locate the desired Layout in Resource Tree.
2. Open Context Menu (by clicking on any empty space within Layout) and select Layout Settings...
3. Click Browse... and select a desired image file to set as background.
4. Configure additional parameters:
Crop to monitor aspect ratio – if selected, then aspect ratio of the image will be adjusted according
to the monitor. For instance, if monitor resolution is 1920x1080 (16:9) and image resolution is
1920x1200 (16:10), then the image will be cropped from both top and bottom.
Width and Height – image dimensions within cells. For instance, it is possible to place twenty items
on a 5x4 layout. The greater the dimensions the lesser the cells are.
