Where does WB6 look to find Wallpapers?

Friday, October 26, 2007 by gardenerstouch | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I'm wondering where it is that WB6 finds the wallpapers it displays in it's configuration window.... I mean the ones that it uses in it's wallpaper changer feature, not the ones it displays in the skins previews.

 

Another point I'd like to make... I would find it much easier if I could set it to a specific directory and have WB6 use what ever is there, without having to check off each one individually. Any hope for such a feature in a future update?

Open WB6 config, select wallpapers, click the hammer and wrench icon, this will bring up wallpapers settings dialog. This will show where WB looks, you can select where you want it to look, you can also add any folders you want it to use.

Click on the circular Tool icon from under the Change my wallpaper section. You can add additional folders there.

You could probably just remove the folders containing wallpapers you don't want to use, then from the Random Wallpaper settings section, just click Add all

Thanks for the tips. The wallpaper changer I currently use automatically polls my wallpaper directory. I don't have to click "all" to get it to find the papers. The reason why I like it that way is so I can use a batch file to automatically empty the folder and dump a new set of papers there as needed. I have a set of wallpapers that goes with each of my favorite skins.

By the way, I use that same batch file to run several registry files that change the color of Windows Media Player 9, Windows Live Mail (beta), and Windows Live Messenger.
