Hi,

The basic gist of this post is regarding auto-changing wallpaper on different desktops.

I want to have different wallpaper themes for each desktop.

Desktop 1 just has the default windows 7 wallpaper.
Desktop 2 has pictures of Maine lighthouses wallpaper.
Desktop 3 has pictures of Seattle Space needle wallpaper.
Desktop 4 has pictures of the WTC twin towers wallpaper.
Desktop 5 will have pictures of jet fighters. (haven't set this up yet)
Desktop 6 I haven't even touched yet.

I want to have it cycle through different wallpapers every minute so even though I visit desktop 2 several times a day it will show a different lighthouse each time because I have it set to change to another picture every minute.

Every minute it should show a different WTC Twin Towers picture on desktop 4.

I can setup a http://www.join.me session should you wish to connect and see what I'm talking about.

-------------------------------

I'm using Beta 1.5.99 Build 1928
I am using Windows 7 SP1 32bit
I have an Intel i5-2520m CPU @ 2.5 GHz
4 GB RAM

I have a dell notebook in a docking station with the notebook's monitor going.
I have 2 Acer 19" monitors hooked up.
One directly to the docking station, one to an EVGA UV Plus+19 device.
I have Dexpot setup to give me 6 desktops.

I downloaded a bunch of pictures from the internet to put different wallpaper on each desktop.

I have pictures here:

Libraries\pictures\My Pictures\Wallpaper\Maine
Libraries\pictures\My Pictures\Wallpaper\Planes
Libraries\pictures\My Pictures\Wallpaper\Seattle
Libraries\pictures\My Pictures\Wallpaper\WTC

Desktop 1 just has the default windows 7 wallpaper.
Desktop 2 has pictures of Maine lighthouses wallpaper.
Desktop 3 has pictures of Seattle Space needle wallpaper.
Desktop 4 has pictures of the WTC twin towers wallpaper.

I did go to right-click/configure desktops and choose a file for each desktop's background according to the plan shown in the 4 lines above.

I also went to rightclickthedesktop/personalize and selected DesktopBackground then selected pictures library from the drop down list and cleared all and then selected only the pictures in the library that were related to the desktop I was on but it always reverts to the image i selected in "right-click/configure desktops"

Mr. H.

This is a feature I would like to see, too: a different slideshow on each desktop.


Currently Dexpot provides two backdrop options:

1. a different static desktop background image on each virtual desktop
Dexpot Settings --> Switching Desktops --> Customize background checked

2. the same slideshow on all desktops.
Dexpot Settings --> Switching Desktops --> Customize background NOT checked,
then select a slideshow using Windows desktop Personalization --> Desktop Background Slide Show.

thanks for the reply, selden.
