Meaning of ～したいぐらい


I want to understand the meaning of this sentence

> 壁紙にしたいぐらい写真。

I was thinking the meaning literally could be "Your photograph is beautiful to
be set as my wallpaper", but I argue about the にしたいぐらい part because when I
google にしたいぐらい, I found this

> 私を独り占めにしたいぐらい好きで仕方ない。

and I can't relate the meaning of にしたいぐらい here with my previous sentence.

Could someone tell me the best meaning of にしたいぐらい?




  * したい = _"want to do"_
  * くらい (ぐらい in combinations) = _"amount, degree"_ -- in usage, _"so much so or enough that [previous part of the sentence]"_

Putting this together with your sample, we have:

  * 壁紙{かべがみ}にしたぐらい[な]写真{しゃしん}

The sample sentence as-is is a bit odd to my ear; the な above is needed to
make this grammatical. Parsing it out:

  * [壁紙]{wallpaper} + [に]{into, as} + [したい]{want to do, use, make} + [ぐらい]{so much so that} + [な]{grammatical modifier} + [写真]{photograph}

→

  * _"a photo that I would want to use as a wallpaper"_

The ぐらい makes this statement more of a hypothetical: it's not a photo that the
speaker **definitely and specifically** wants to use as a wallpaper, and
instead it's a photo that the speaker **would** want to use as a wallpaper.
