I’m using a pic of a landscape to make a clearer point, however, it would result the same if you choose a pattern background image (it does not apply only when you choose a plain color background). Ok, I go to settings, try to choose my image and I get the square to choose the portion of the image I’ll use (even if I have previously customized my image to fit the screen size and resized the pic to avoid the app crashing). Then, I crop the image and what do I get? A background image with more zoom than the area I picked. As we all know(?), digital zoom magnifies a part of the image taking certain number of pixels and creating a larger image, but because the new image is based on the same number of pixels, the image loses quality. So, I guess, it would be better to have the old option to choose the image you want and either: write a statement like this when choosing an image: “resize your image at 50% before setting it as background” -assuming all who have used the default camera knows there is an option to resize the images- or if the app does it itself, the option that requires less work to developers.
