DisplayFusion RSS: Turn off wallpaper when application runs

Thanks that's what I did but I had to modify the process ended routine a little bit. Sometimes I will run multiple instances of AutoCAD, so I didn't want it restarting the wallpaper when only one of them closes. So I wrote a script that checks if AutoCAD is still running and if it is then it stay on the blank profile and if it's not, then it turns the slideshow back on.

You can do that with a couple triggers and wallpaper profiles.

Create two wallpaper profiles: a normal one with the usual rotating wallpapers, and one with just a black background.

Create a trigger, event "Process created", in "Process filename" point to the AutoCAD executable, in actions pick "Run Function", and in the function list find "Load Wallpaper Profile: ".

Now create another trigger, but with the "Process ended" event to do the opposite and load the rotating wallpaper profile when AutoCAD closes.

Hi!

I already have things setup that when AutoCAD runs, the wallpaper changes stop. But is there a way for a specific wallpaper to be turned on when AutoCAD runs orhave the wallpaper turn off completely and just be a black desktop?

AutoCAD has a black background and if it starts when there is a bright wallpaper showing on the second monitor, the contrast can be quite jarring. It would be nice to have a black background on all 3 monitors when AutoCAD is running, but then turn the regular desktop wallpaper slideshow back on once AutoCAD closes.

Is this even possible?
