DisplayFusion 3.1.2 has been released and it should take care of this issue. Can you please delete your "Generated Wallpaper Folder Override" setting, give 3.1.2 a try and follow-up so I know that it's finally solved? Thanks!


Stopped current version 3.1.1, deleted the regkey, downloaded & installed v3.1.2 & restarted DF, and ... it did the job perfectly! Thanks (a mln) for your dedication & time spent. :-D

Yeah, I saw that in the troubleshooting too.

Well, I can join bobjbain's dance... It worked for me as well, like a charm. :mrgreen:
All I did after adding the path in my Registry (because it was missing like with bobjbain) was stopping DF and restarting it.

I also added a copy of the troubleshooting contebnts to this msg.

Also, after you apply your wallpaper settings using DisplayFusion (and it doesn't work), can you copy/paste the information from the "Troubleshooting" tab so I can see your configuration?


Done for you, two logs attached, one with AD Active one with AD Disabled.

Also tried your new executable with no change.

Sorry for my late reply. I only use this tool on my office PC, so checks & updates only happen during office hours ... ;-)

What version of Windows are you using? -- using Win XP Pro SP 3
Try applying wallpaper in DF with the "Adjust wallpaper for use with Active Desktop" setting checked? -- tried it & didn't saw any difference. All I keep seeing is the same blue backgrd as before (and specified) in Display Props' Appearance tab.

Also, as tpheasant specified Yesterday at 12:09:09 pm, as long as the windows logo is on the screen while the pc is booting, the images show properly. Once the PC has started logging in the images go away.

I attached the contents of the Troubleshooting tab as of this morning.

I just tried to use the new update provided Yesterday at 07:02:41 pm, and I have to admit it failed doing what it was supposed to do (solve this issue?). The problem remains the same :|

This is what I did:
I renamed the original DisplayFusion.exe to DisplayFusion_old.exe, copied the reworked DisplayFusion.exe into the install folder and restarted the program. To no avail so it seemed ...

Any other ideas always welcome.

Thanks,
Obi ]]> RE: DF v3.1.x - no Wallpaper displayed anymore https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-v31x-no-wallpaper-displayed-anymore/?ID=5c220a9d-b4f7-4d82-8434-0b0a9bc76df2#13 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:02:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-v31x-no-wallpaper-displayed-anymore/?ID=5c220a9d-b4f7-4d82-8434-0b0a9bc76df2#13 DisplayFusion I have attached a special build of DisplayFusion that I would like someone to try out.

Running fine in 3.0.6 with one image on the left monitor and a different image on the right monitor. upgraded to 3.1.1 and now I only have a color on each monitor, no image on either one. I am running Windows XP SP3. I can change the background color on my display properties and that is what color appears on both monitors. Oddly enough, while the windows logo is upon the screen while the pc is fully booting, the images show properly. Once the pc fully boots the images go away. I tried to click on Adjust background for use with Active Desktop as suggested in earlier post and it didnt help, and didnt seem to stay checked when I go back to it either. Desktop in display properties states background is 'displayFusionWallpaper_1' and is a bmp.

I am having the same issue, using Windows XP SP3. With 3.1.0 and 3.1.1, when I click apply I get the blue backgrounds. To get my wallpaper back I have to change the Windows theme to something else other than "Modified theme". I downgraded back to 3.0.6 (fortunately a co-worker still had the install file), and everything works as expected.

Thanks,

If I open the wallpaper settings then just click apply (without changing anything), if my background was the single colour the Wallpapers will show (and vice-versa), if I click apply again then single colour background again, click apply again Wallpapers show.

This behaviour occurs no matter the state of the 'Adjust Background for use with Active Desktop' option and ONLY if AD is enabled!! ]]> RE: DF v3.1.x - no Wallpaper displayed anymore https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-v31x-no-wallpaper-displayed-anymore/?ID=5c220a9d-b4f7-4d82-8434-0b0a9bc76df2#6 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:27:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-v31x-no-wallpaper-displayed-anymore/?ID=5c220a9d-b4f7-4d82-8434-0b0a9bc76df2#6 DisplayFusion

@bobjbain: Could you explain a bit more what you mean by "re-sized the web page"? Does the wallpaper issue happen when you have Active Desktop enabled or disabled?


Right, if Active Desktop is disbaled then all I see is a blue background! no matter what the status of 'Adjust Background for use with Active Desktop' checkbox is.

If Active Desktop is enabled then I can see my home page on the screen, if the HomePage is not maximized I can see the backgrounds behind the HomePage!

If Active Desktop is enabled and I check the 'Adjust Background for use with Active Desktop' option then all I see is a blue background!!

On top of your problem I can't even change the desktop wallpaper via the desktop applet unless I set my theme back to the Windows XP one!!

Also the background colour is the one that has been set in the Desktop Applet under the Appearance-Advanced settings. Change your Desktop colour and see what happens.

I've even tried getting a Pro Trial license to see if that resolves the issue and it doesn't. ]]>
