Could you give it a try and let me know if you still have this issue after updating?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-change-not-showing-on-the-screen/?ID=4114cfbc-e3f7-4780-9ab5-7d9e5bc0a78d#6 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 14:14:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-change-not-showing-on-the-screen/?ID=4114cfbc-e3f7-4780-9ab5-7d9e5bc0a78d#6 DisplayFusion Something else broke. There was a bug in beta 5 and 6 (already reported) that using the Transition would provoque a black screen instead of the image. Now, in Beta 7, enabling/disabling the transition simply doesn't enable the transition. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-change-not-showing-on-the-screen/?ID=4114cfbc-e3f7-4780-9ab5-7d9e5bc0a78d#5 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 00:50:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-change-not-showing-on-the-screen/?ID=4114cfbc-e3f7-4780-9ab5-7d9e5bc0a78d#5 DisplayFusion We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version (5.1.1 Beta 7) (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/) and all of the wallpaper issues should be all fixed up.

Could you try 5.1.1 Beta 5, to see if you still run into this issue?

Judging by using the search this might be a common problem but I just didn't seem to find a way to fix this.

So I have set the wallpapers to change every 5 minutes and select a random image from the folder I've selected. It seems like it's trying to do it as the taskbar color changes. And when looking at the desktop wallpaper screen every now and then it actually has the changed wallpapers, but they won't show up on my actual screens for some reason.

I'm running on Windows 7. (64Bit)

I've attached a debug log with logging set as important only.

Any help would be much appreciated

Edit: Going through the task manager disabling features one by one, it looks like it's the Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) that's doing it. However it obviously comes back after a few seconds so it's not really a way to fix it.. Weirdly the wallpaper changes seem to work normally whenever I have a game running, but other times it's just stuck. ]]>
