At 10:00pm you start DisplayFusion and configure it to change your wallpaper every 60 minutes. At 10:30pm you exit DisplayFusion. At 10:45 you start DisplayFusion again. Now, what should happen? Should the wallpaper be changed in 15 minutes (at 11:00pm), or should the timer be reset and the wallpaper be changed in 60 minutes from now (11:45pm)?

I hope this situation made sense, I'm interested to hear some opinions on this. Thanks! :) ]]> RE: Fav Wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#11 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:55:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#11 DisplayFusion Ok, got it. Sweet!

One thing I noticed is when you switch profiles, it (of course) switches to the new backgrounds as expected. But it should reset the timer. I had just switched profiles (and got the new wallpapers) and then about 10 seconds later, the timer tripped and I got a new set of wallpapers. I'm thinking you would want to reset the timer to 0 after switching profiles...

...very nice though! ]]> RE: Fav Wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#10 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:12:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#10 DisplayFusion No worries, enjoy! :) ]]> RE: Fav Wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#9 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:07:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#9 DisplayFusion

Look for the new profiles feature around Beta 10, it's going to be quite a bit of work to get it up and running. :)

Jon, just wondering when I should start looking for this? It will be a very nice addition. ]]> RE: Fav Wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#6 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 01:33:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#6 DisplayFusion That type of feature, tagging and rating images, isn't planned until a few more versions have been released. :) ]]> RE: Fav Wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#5 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:20:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/fav-wallpaper/?ID=08c7f586-e62f-4629-9f4c-67c5883d80ee#5 DisplayFusion Could you extend that to say something like "don't show this wallpaper again"? I have the VladStudio wallpapers cycling through - most are pretty nice, however, there are a few that I would rather not see again.

Thanks!

It will soon! With the new Wallpaper Profiles feature you can create a profile called "My Fav Image", bind it to a HotKey (or TitleBar Button) and voila, you can set it or remove it easily. :)

It would be a nice addition if DF had a button for this.

Here's the code I use to 'manually' do this and it works great:

------------------------
reg add "hkcu\control panel\desktop" /v wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d "" /f

RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters

::(using the /f switch in the batch file to get past the are-you-sure overwrite prompt)
reg add "hkcu\control panel\desktop" /v wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Documents and Settings\benway\Walls\Doublewide.bmp" /f

::change the last number on the next line: 0 for center, 2 for stretch
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /V WallpaperStyle /T REG_SZ /F /D 0

::refreshes the display so the new wallpaper loads
RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters
------------------------

The wallpaper path can be anything you like or DF could let you select pics or use the currently loaded ones. ]]>
