Post by Rings »

With this tool you can change the wallpaper (the desktop background)

4 modes:

1-One Picture (PNG,BMP,JPG) from a directory(after loading program ends)
2-periodically one picture from a directory
3-periodically one picture from a website (for exampe a webcam picture)
4-periodically a complete website.

call via Commandline :

1- ChangeDesktopPicture.exe "C:\Test.png"
2- ChangeDesktopPicture.exe "C:\Bilder" 60
2- ChangeDesktopPicture.exe "http://image.de.weather.com/web/maps/de ... 720_de.jpg" 60
3 -ChangeDesktopPicture.exe "http://www.purebasic.fr/german/search.p ... d=newposts" 120

If no parameter is given , the defaultwill start :

Golf course Green, Tee 1 (Golfplatz Gut Heckenhof , where i dropped more than 20 balls in the lake)
periodically all 60 seconds .

Leftclick on taskbar-symbol actualize the wallpaper,
rightclick ends the program.

I'm going to peek into your code, as I wrote something similar called WallX. Did you run into (and fix) the 'Vista needs some time to wake up' problem?

I had an issue creating a file and setting the wallpaper immediately after starting Vista. My application seemed to freeze for a while, and then suddenly continue. I could never figure out what was exactly the problem.
