Change the agent desktop background

[bravery-only]

Is it possible to add this feature to change the background image of the agent's desktop?

Can you please explain a use-case for this?

You generally only remove the wallpaper when you connect tobmake the remote support quicker and then put it back when you disconnect?

Try this button on the bottom right. It will toggle the remote desktop background. This can be used to speed up remote desktop.

I mean to change the background image of the desktop screen with another image

@Ylianst I believe the question was can he change the wallpaper, not toggle it off and on

You could use a Powershell script for that - at least if it's a static image, couldn't you?

The wallpaper toggle code uses this internally

I could add a helper method or a console command where you can specify an image file?

It would be great if you could send me a code to change the desktop background, but be sure to include this feature in Mesh Central.

With server version 1.0.96, there is a console command deskbackground, which lets you get/set the windows desktop background image path.

I changed the background in Windows 7, but in Windows 10 & 11 it gives this error: Command returned an exception error: child_process.execFile(): Could not exec [C:\Program Files\meshagent.exe]

Does it give that error when fetching the desktop too, or only when setting it?
