I'm experiencing problems with Windows 8.1... the wallpaper just wouldn't set when I click "apply"
I tinkered around in the settings and found out that turning off "transitions" resolves the issue.
Deleting the file as discribed above doesn't work for me to use transitions.
Glad it's working now, but I liked the transitions in Windows 7.
Just wanted to let you know for optimizing DF for Windows 8.1

@wouter: Is this issue occurring with DisplayFusion 5.1 or 5.1.1?

In both actually... I reinstalled DF to revert to default settings in order to troubleshoot the issue.
Didn't work in 5.1, so I update to 5.1.1, didn't work either.
Then I found this thread en turned the option off.
To make it completely clear: In my case, while the transition option was on, the wallpaper wouldn't even change

I followed your instructions and attached the log file.
The wallpaper didn't change once during the timespan.
Hope you can find the cause.

I'm having this problem as well. My wallpaper seems stuck and will not transition. I followed your steps above and have attached my log. Thanks for the help!

Thanks guys! We'll let you know as soon as we have a solution to this issue. In the meantime, please disable the transitions as a workaround.
Thanks!

I'm afraid not... not on my system that is. I'm on Windows 8.1.
Installed v6.0 (Beta 5), enabled transitions in the options, restarted DF... wallpaper doesn't change automatically, also doesn't manually.

I'm sorry to say that on my system it's still broken.
Log file attached.

After a fresh reboot of your system, does the wallpaper change correctly, or is it broken as soon as the system starts up? Could you also post a copy of the info from the Settings > Troubleshooting tab? (make sure debug logging is enabled and applied before refreshing and copying the Troubleshooting info)

Not sure what you mean by "the info from the Settings > Troubleshooting tab".
I made another log file. Pressed apply 2 times.

Thanks! And to clarify, does the wallpaper work for a while on a fresh reboot, and then stop working, or is it immediately not working on bootup?

Logging off and on again sets the new wallpaper, rebooting also.
Ok, would you be able to try enabling the Wallpaper > Generate Smaller Files option in the Settings > Advanced Settings window, then reboot your machine and see if the wallpaper stops changing after a while again?

Did it... Now it doesn't even change after the reboot.

That seem to do the trick...
I did a manual change by pressing "apply" on the "Desktop Wallpaper" window and the transition was smooth like it should be.
Note: I upgraded to Beta 7 and turned "Wallpaper > Generate Smaller Files option in the Settings > Advanced Settings" back OFF.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
