    Yes, you are right. But in this case, the client wants this feature. Also, I think this could be a good option for a slideshow application.

  7. Re: Fill image inside a rectangle (crop from center - keep aspect ratio of container)

    The idea is to create a form - which, when resized, will not distort the background image or leave empty space.

    If you have that gradient code in a module, you just need to call it from Form_Paint event handeler.
