I've installed Vista SP1. And I'm sure it has .NET framework 2.0 +

Just tried it , awesome tool, i just uninstalled my earlier powertoys for windows wallpaer changer

Only if u make a few changes
1. The program should start minimised.
2. Remove the close button, or change it to minimised.

Keep up the good work.

Tried it now. Working nice and good interface too.
But dude, there is a problem. Memory is leaking. With every wallpaper change RAM usage is increasing by 1 MB. I don't know whether its the problem at my end, but in 10 minutes it was using 50 MB memory from the initial startup of 5 MB. And the XML file is not being created here.

@jal_desai ..... how did ya do it ?

[dheeraj_kumar]

its quite simple, I dont know how he did it, but here is one way, probably the best I think:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...47(VS.85).aspx

Check out SPI_SETDESKTOPWALLPAPER action.

EDIT:

Just took a look inside his proggie
Thats what he is doing, the SystemParametersInfo. He sets the wallpaper styles via registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

ya.. tht's the only way brother... SPI_SETDESKTOPWALLPAPER... but just by adding it wont change the wallpaper... i had to import DLLS (user32) for acquiring permissions...

but i made it easier for novices bro... also i included the preview and timer settings... anyways... thnks for trying my little software..

YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND... just keep checking this thread and i will post the new version of it after including the feature u wanted..

FYI:: If you right-click the system tray icon, it will give u options..... If u double click it, the the wallpaper will be changed..

Your app every time pop up @ windows start up and
the wallpaper include box is empty ( so I have to
select wallpapers again - that's annoying ) ebven though
I've selected and added my desired wallpapers earlier and
yes - I've saved the settings with load wallpaper changer at
start-up ,change wallpaper, change wallpaper @ every 2 minutes,
wallpaper position streched .

I think you will fix the small bugs.

Also when I opened settings window & selected & added
85 wallpapers the Ram consumption was around 32 MB.

It also cnaged the default windows desktop selection location
from C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper to the location I've
used to choose images for wallpaper changer.

Anyway a good software - with very small small
memory footprint while it's on minimized in the system tray
consuming arouns 2 MB of Ram.
