There are a couple of Chromium based web controls that we've tried, but they haven't been reliable when using as the desktop wallpaper, as it's a bit of a tricky process to inject the control onto the desktop. We are hoping to get one working at some point, or even better would be if Microsoft would update the .NET web view control to something a bit more modern :) ]]> RE: Web page as background, or even screenshot of webpage periodically? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/web-page-as-background-or-even-screenshot-of-webpage-periodically/?ID=9a1397ba-9f90-4e27-a4fa-a6d2f1ad708a#21 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 17:58:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/web-page-as-background-or-even-screenshot-of-webpage-periodically/?ID=9a1397ba-9f90-4e27-a4fa-a6d2f1ad708a#21 DisplayFusion Was trying to use a trello page as a background, I get a message that IE is unsupported.

Thanks!


Hey Keith,

It's been a while and I've not paid much attention of late, weather conditions added to the overlay by any chance? ]]> RE: Web page as background, or even screenshot of webpage periodically? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/web-page-as-background-or-even-screenshot-of-webpage-periodically/?ID=9a1397ba-9f90-4e27-a4fa-a6d2f1ad708a#7 Tue, 31 Jan 2017 20:22:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/web-page-as-background-or-even-screenshot-of-webpage-periodically/?ID=9a1397ba-9f90-4e27-a4fa-a6d2f1ad708a#7 DisplayFusion You should be able to enable input by right-clicking the DisplayFusion tray icon, and choosing Desktop Wallpaper > Toggle Website Wallpaper Keyboard/Mouse Input.

I am having issues with the website background function in DisplayFusion. It was working last week and not this week.

What I am experiencing is the following:

Originally I was able to login to a website desktop background and click on links etc. Now the website just displays like a static image. e.g. I can no longer click on links or interact with the website.

I have uninstalled DisplayFusion, restarted my machine, I have attempted to set different websites and still have the same experience.

I have attached screenshots of the setup I have and what I am seeing.

Thanks

I'm testing it, seems kind of odd.

Also I just found the weather / time functions in the wallpaper section - but it doesn't overlay text or pull down anthing from a weather site, just seems to find images which correspond to the time of day? ]]> RE: Web page as background, or even screenshot of webpage periodically? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/web-page-as-background-or-even-screenshot-of-webpage-periodically/?ID=9a1397ba-9f90-4e27-a4fa-a6d2f1ad708a#3 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:49:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/web-page-as-background-or-even-screenshot-of-webpage-periodically/?ID=9a1397ba-9f90-4e27-a4fa-a6d2f1ad708a#3 DisplayFusion Last Monday we released a new DisplayFusion beta version (https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta) and there's now a "Website" wallpaper source :)
