Support for Multiple Backgrounds that are cycled through over time (like a slideshow)

[IsaacMorris1980]

@colinkiama you should see if this can be implemented for the background https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/rotatortile

[colinkiama]

This control seems great fit the short term but my plan was that the background would change every few hours.

So, this control shouldn't be used.

Do you mean download image from webservice, files and folders on same computer, or files and folders on a network?

[colinkiama]

From files from the computer

@colinkiama does it need to run even when the app is not or only when the application is running?

if only when running then i would modify the loading settings function and attach to a thread timer and run it every 60 minutes or so

[colinkiama]

only when the app is running

[IsaacMorris1980]

do you want to allow users to say how long in between image changes?

[colinkiama]

nope

[IsaacMorris1980]

Do we want users to be able to delete images, or change image order

[colinkiama]

Yeah

[IsaacMorris1980]

@colinkiama i have it where it cycles through but i can not stop if from flickering when changing image do you have any ideas?

[colinkiama]

Can you show me what the flickering looks like?

[IsaacMorris1980]

Untitled.zip

Had to upload the video as a zip github does not support mp4

[colinkiama]

Oh. In that case, I recommend cycling through images using a flip view

[IsaacMorris1980]

even with the flipview i am still getting the flickering looking to add animation to see if i can animate smoothly when changing pictures

[IsaacMorris1980]

@colinkiama even with animation i was unable to get smooth transistions, i changed flipview for rotatortile and currently have the rotation delay set to 15 seconds to check image changing, i get no flicker and it is smooth transistions So far the only thing i do not have implemented for changing backgrounds is persistance think i know how to do that currently working on it if you would like to look at it i have it on cyclebackground branch

[colinkiama]

I've had a look. Yeah it works great.

[IsaacMorris1980]

@colinkiama i am not sure if that branch had the persistance update to it or not if not will upload soon

[IsaacMorris1980]

@colinkiama that branch did have persistance is there anything else i should try. I am looking to make the application more responsive

[colinkiama]

8 would be awesome.
