I've got an odd graphical problem and I need the advice of some experts.

I use this image as my wallpaper, and I absolutely love it:

BUT when I use i3lock/swaylock, it's off-center which is frustrating in a very way (see screenshot)

How would I go about cropping the image to make it centered? I mean, so that the little circular login indicator thingie is centered right on the innermost triangle?

s3rvant,

I'm not familiar with i3lock/swaylock however with GIMP you should be able to click on Image -> Canvas Size and adjust to match your screen size

By default it trims equal amounts from each edge so center should remain center

Once dimensions match exactly I imagine that issue will resolve

s3rvant,

Ah, well, I'm not if this method is the simplest / best but it's how I would go about it:

Add a new layer, click on rectangular select tool and set size to screen size

Click on image ensuring entire rectangle fits on screen then fill with white (or w/e) then crop the layer to selection; set layer opacity to 50% so you can see image below

Add another layer and use pencil tool to draw a small mark then crop the layer to content
