couldnt you just get the width of height of the IM form (dont know if its possible) then write a new image depended on what the selected so if they selected "cetered" then you can make that imagebox or whatever to the size of the IM window and divide the width and height by 2 so its centered then paint the new image over using bitblt or something and set that pic as the background. again with tiled just get the width of the picture they want to set as the background and paint multiple copies of it after one another so its tiled, and seeing at already streches just set the pic they want as the background. the only problem is getting the width and heigh of the IM form.
