Change wallpaper on desktop switch #58

Is there support for changing the wallpaper for each individual desktop? There was another .AHK script out there that used to do this, but no longer works =(

Regarding wallpaper change, you're probably referring to sdias/win-10-virtual-desktop-enhancer

You could try to fix the other repository by overwriting their DLL with our DLL in their libraries folder.

Other solution could be to copy paste their solution to our script although that would require some coding knowledge

Thanks for moving this. Sorry to post in the wrong place. Yes, that was the AHK I was referring to. I have little knowledge of coding. How would I go about the DLL swap? Are you talking about simply renaming your DLL and placing it in their directory? How would this work ?

Elijas commented 4 years ago

No problem! Yes, you can just rename our DLL and overwrite their DLL, and it might help (because both of our repositories depend on the same DLL source, but we might have a newer version)

Oh My God it worked ! Thanks for this !

If only there was a way to get the preview windows (up at the top) to show the different wallpapers (i read somewhere this was in issue).

Great!:) Agreed, it would be cool. Maybe it would be possible to do it with some coding, haven't tried yet
