DONE - IDEA: change wallpaper at specific time - not timed intervals.

<< < (4/10) > >>

mouser:
Temporality Screens has been updated.
It no longer uses Active Desktop, and instead makes a commandline call to ImageMagick to convert files to bitmap before setting them to wallpaper.
This also makes it easy to do further image processing automatically, including adding date/time to images, etc.

nudone:
sounds good.

i'm currently working on a wallpaper set that i'll upload when i can finally finish it - it will be universal in appeal (depending on how much you hate microsoft) so anyone should be able to appreciate it.

now i've announced it i'll have to pull my finger out and get it done.

wr975:
Thank you for the update.  :)  :up:  :up:


I'm using Irfanview to convert using following ini entries:

shellconversioncommand=C:\PROGRA~1\IRFANV~1\i_view32.exe
shellconversioncommandargs="$origfile$" /resample=(1024,768) /aspectratio /convert="$bmpfile$"

mouser:
thx wr975!

i was hoping that we might be able to share some good commandline conversion/processing calls..
i will keep a list of them and make them available in a readme in future releases.

i'm open to the idea of adding stuff so you can
1) specify a series of commands to run, not just the one
2) specify per-theme file commands for conversion

and in this way be able to do some fun stuff.. i'm sure with some cleverness we could make it dynamically overlay calendar, clock, datestamp, etc over the image..  and border effects, etc.

wr975:
I've already mentioned it by mail, but here I'll write it again.

For hourly themes it'd be a good idea to use following code for midnight.


--- ---*/*/* - */*/* | 24-24 | hour24.jpg
*/*/* - */*/* | 0-0 | hour24.jpg

24-24 is for systems using 12h time format
0-0 is for systems using 24h time format
