Windows 7 has a built in feature that allows you to change wallpapers automatically (using any folder you specify as the source of images), but it only sets up one image on both monitors, I want two different images at the same time that keep changing.
I think from the file that the website provides, you can change the script accordingly to lead to your wallpaper location. Haven't tried it but I will try it and I will send you a reply when I am done.
Look to see if the wallpaper options in the wallpaper changer are Visible in either of these folders. If they are, using your root-elevated Nautilus, can you try transferring in the wallpapers you wish to use.
Then re-launch the application with the wallpaper changer settings and see if they show up.
no not that i can set the wallpaper with no issue i just have 2 wallpapers one i would like to be displayed in the day and one after like 6.30-7pm till the next morning 7pm. Like the one in macos but simpler
Important: If you use your Chromebook at work or school, your administrator might not let you change your wallpaper. If you can't change your wallpaper, contact your administrator for more help.
You can also download your wallpaper from your own website and restribuite it to all the people that will use your software. PLEASE if you use this script on commercial software publicize autoit and why not a local charity organization.
My Script:Wallpaper Changer Change you wallpaper dinamically, you can also download your wallpaper from your website and share it with all! My Snippet:_ImageSaveToBMPConvert an image to bmp format._SciteGOTO Open a file in SciTE at specific fileline._FileToHex Show the hex code of a specified file
Thanks for the compliment I will certainly give a look at your script, funny is the ability to set a specific image for a specific date. Mine was specifically made for that user, mainly with the goal to download the wallpaper from a website and spread to all the user that use the script (i see a very good idea to advertice local store and charity organization).
2. If the bitmap is larger than the screen resolution, you compress the bitmap and it does not look good, the reason is that style 4 (screen width) is omitted. That was also the case in FlyingBoz's udf so I corrected it (yes, I wrote my own background changer )
For the bitmap question, with the quick research on the web that i have done. i have seen that all other function that accept .jpg automatically convert the image to a .bmp file and the set as wallpaper.
It seems pretty useless to support .jpg in the function for space reasons The only thingthat can be usefull is to add the support for .jpg for the online wallpaper script and then convert to .bmp on the machine only for saving the server bandwidth.
Well the group I work for outsourced it's infrastructure and desktop management to one of the ugly big ones, and guess what? They disabled the background image. This caused so much annoyance amongst the employees of my company that I decided to quickly implement a background changer myself. The funny thing is that some events cause the background to get back to it's initial state, by a forced GPO I guess (for example when closing the lid of a laptop). I catch the event and before the user notices any change the image is back on screen.
Using a desktop wallpaper changer is a great way to keep your desktop fresh and interesting, show off your personality, and even make you more productive (yes, there are studies looking at this). Such tools automatically cycle through images on your computer or from online sources.
I have installed Variety desktop wallpaper changer. Its a good app. But sometimes when I start Ubuntu and login to my account it fails to load. I try to manually start the app by clicking on variety icon, but doesnt work.
Variety is packed with great features, yet slim and easy to use. It can use local images or automatically download wallpapers from Unsplash and other online sources, allows you to rotate them on a regular interval, and provides easy ways to separate the great images from the junk. Variety can also display wise and funny quotations or a nice digital clock on the desktop.
My Best guess: There is a checkbox, you would have to select, to make the displayed wallpaper appear on the lockscreen. It always keeps a couple of pics in your Pictures folder for that purpose. I think that is what you are seeing.
If you find when you are using File Explorer that it scrolls to the top whenever the wallpaper is changed, this is due to a bug in Windows 10. It can be avoided by turning off "Automatically pick an accent colour from my background" in the "Colours" section of the personalise settings. (Right click on the Windows background to get at this.)
Just to restate things for clarity, version 2.8 worked with Win11, but the monitor numbers would change from reboot to reboot (but only in the Wallpaper Changer section; the monitor order in the main settings would stay consistent). Version 2.9 fixed that, but now DMT (usually) only thinks that it's displaying wallpaper, as illustrated here:
Have you tried checking/unchecking "Use smooth fade when changing wallpaper"?
Depending on this setting, different Windows API calls are used, so there is a chance that the other option would work in Windows 11.
I can't say for sure, but it seems to be the case that it works on first application (and subsequent clicks of "Change Wallpaper") but then at some point, Win11 changes a setting and further wallpapers will work until you toggle the settings again in the native windows. Then, if you run the DualMonitor tool again, the wallpapers will work for a time (
The 'black' it is showing is the default Windows BG. And the color can be changed by changing the solid background color in Windows settings, but that does nothing to make the wallpaper appear. It's as if the Windows background is sitting ontop of whatever DMT is trying to display.
I think the problems with the black background is due to a limit within Windows of the maximum size of a PNG file that can be used for the background wallpaper.
I have managed to replicate this on both Windows 10 and 11 using Explorer and "Set as desktop background".
I have 3 monitors: 2 4K monitors and 1 ultrawide 5120X1440. I usually send large 21:9 wallpapers to the ultra wide and regular wallpapers to the other 2. I turned off the ultrawide wallpaper provider, and it's been working fine for several days now. But the BIG down side is that I can't have a full size wallpaper on my nice, ultrawide, main monitor.
Interesting about the ultrawide. My three monitors are 2160p, 1080p, and an ultrawide running 3440x1440. I would suspect that many of us having this issue use multiple aspect ratios, as that is what drew me to this program to begin with, for wallpaper management.
