Equinox not working on MacOS Monterey? #14

Closed StefanoBarison closed 2 years ago

StefanoBarison commented 2 years ago

Good morning,

I tried (multiple times) to use Equinox to create a simple dynamic wallpaper using the "Time" feature. It should show a wallpaper from 00 until 12 AM and then another from 12AM to 00, but it's stuck on one of the two. I was wondering if something has changed in MacOS Monterey such that the dynamical wallpapers don't work anymore (even if it's still recognised as dynamical )

Thank you

Hi! Please, try this:

  1. Create wallpaper with a different filename because it can cache the old version.
  2. Reboot your mac.

Btw, I tested this on macOS Monterey and it worked fine.

Thanks for the hints! Unfortunately, it seems that the problem is still present. Do I have to choose "automatic" for both or light and dark?

Thanks again

Well, I took 2 images and choose time wallpaper. Set 00:00:00 for the first and 12:00:00 for the second image.

As you can see, it works for me. Can you share your wallpaper with me? I'll check the metadata in your wallpaper and try it on my own.

Unfortunately, github seems to not support the sharing of an .heic file.

However, I changed a default wallpaper to static and then to dynamic again, then I rebooted the mac and now it works! Even the default wallpaper was not showing correctly, so something happened in the update I think.

Thanks again for all the help.

Best regards

@StefanoBarison Nice to see you resolved it! Yeah, these macOS bugs with custom dynamic wallpapers are so annoying. I hope guys from Apple fix it in future updates.
