Bug Description
When the dash is displayed, the background image’s layout is supposed to match that of gnome.
Gnome offers various layout modes, and currently only a couple of them are correctly implemented by the dash. Moreover, what is actually correctly implemented doesn’t match what the comments state in GnomeBackground
- wallpaper: doesn’t work
- zoom: implemented, works
- centered: not implemented
- scaled: doesn’t work (misses the background color to pad the image)
- stretched: implemented, works
- spanned: not implemented
Note that this was tested with a screen resolution of 1920×1080, and a background image of 484×714, i.e. smaller than the screen resolution and with an opposite layout (portrait).

I think my problem matches the 'centered' aspect of this bug mentioned above in the description -
Basically when I click on the menu (dash?) it comes up with the background image with the black overlay as it should but where the image doesn't reach the sides of the screen (it's a 4:3 aspect ratio photo on a 16:10 monitor) the sides of the dash are white strips. These strips overlay the dash so you can't read menu items near the edges of the screen.
If my bug is not related let me know and I can start a new bug.
