For 17.04 the default picture options for wallpapers can be set via the command line:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'none'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'wallpaper'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'centered'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'scaled'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'stretched'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'spanned'
To reset back to the default:
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options

Is there any way to avoid using terminal? – Manos Kounelakis May 14 '17 at 06:57

not for the moment in 17.04 - but if some nice person helps us adding to budgie-welcome then we can create a nice "tweak tool". – fossfreedom May 14 '17 at 09:36

Late to answer on this one, but for anyone who is interested.
You can also install the gnome-tweak-tool, which is now called gnome-tweaks as of 18.04. You to the tab Appearance you will then find the setting under Adjustment.
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
or if you are version 18.04 or later.
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Thanks for the tip! Though, I can't find anything to repeat the background. I use odd size displays in different orientations and was trying to find a solution for a background that would fit without scaling – Bus42 Mar 19 '21 at 15:30
