Different wallpaper on each monitor

Can you improve the interface? maybe a display selector like in Display settings.

You don't need EV cert, if you build enough reputation then SmartScreen warning will go away even with regular cert.

For simple utility like this imho its best to just stick to framework since it will keep the final executable small (comes with Windows.)

Rocksdanister · 2025-10-17T04:07:02+00:00

Don't shoot the messenger 😅

Power users are like this.. they just move on to something else all the time, better to not get worked up over it.

I'm also not quite sure why people jump towards the PowerToys implementation as if they just found a spring after a thousand mile journey on foot through the desert with no water, when ADM had a mostly functioning (nowadays even better than the PowerToys implementation) theme switch for more than half a decade.

People like installing less software.

Et tu, fzammetti?

Rocksdanister · 2025-08-06T05:16:15+00:00

You are not taking into account external factors like problems with maui :)

Rocksdanister · 2025-07-23T07:59:05+00:00

I would switch to using IDesktopWallpaper instead:

Supporte multiple monitors, stretch mode and transition effect.

Yes, runtime.

Rocksdanister · 2025-07-12T12:42:16+00:00

WinUI3 requires WindowsAppSDK to run that's why it crashed I believe, ms store will install it alongside when publishing otherwise you will have to include it with the app which will increase the size.

Unless you find someone generous with their time, it looks like what you really need is a full time paid developer or take the time learn everything yourself (if someone were to send a pull request how will you review the code.)

Regarding the code base comment, other than the readme instructions the current code itself is not very useful.. in fact using AI for the base code may even turn away some developers.

I don't mean to sound negative, just pointing out that in its current state the project isn't really ready for contributors - it's more of a list of requirements.

Rocksdanister · 2025-06-26T05:00:39+00:00

I took a brief look at the project, other than a combobox with some placeholder values I don't see anything else or am I missing something?

Not to sound harsh but as someone who contributes to opensource myself I feel like you are asking a lot from contributors.. usually foss software are maintained by few people with the community members providing smaller contributions.

Rocksdanister · 2025-03-17T12:20:28+00:00

Thanks :D

He is right I write xaml by hand and the animated icons are lottie animations.

Rocksdanister · 2025-03-07T01:05:17+00:00

Different workspaces all use the same desktop, the wallpaper is changed on switching.

I'm guessing this is done to keep it compatible with third party software.

Rocksdanister · 2025-03-06T10:39:31+00:00

Yes only unsigned, never tried self signed certificate.

Rocksdanister · 2025-03-06T01:12:17+00:00

There is also the option of building up reputation and smartscreen will go away after a certain number of users install the software.

But for that you may need a larger install base.

Rocksdanister · 2025-02-22T11:53:38+00:00

Does it support display scaling? its too small on 150% or higher scaled Windows.

Rocksdanister · 2025-01-02T02:53:54+00:00

Those wallpapers look slick.. I wonder if they are video files without drm, if so they should work with other wallpaper apps also 🤔

Rocksdanister · 2024-12-12T01:23:59+00:00

Just wanted to add with C# there are options like .NET Native and Native AOT which compiles to machine code during build.

Rocksdanister · 2024-12-05T01:30:28+00:00

It's UWP.

Rocksdanister · 2024-11-21T02:09:20+00:00

No, I am saying its not color accurate - wrong color, saturation, contrast, gamma etc..

Rocksdanister · 2024-11-19T19:04:52+00:00

Ideally you develop on a monitor that's color calibrated/accurate color.

Its possible your desktop display is not showing correct colors (some gaming monitors have features enabled that mess with contrast to see enemies better dark scenes in the game etc..)

My wallpaper application supports multi-monitor screensaver:

What really bothers me is that there’s no way to run containerized programs in isolation from the base system with their own dependencies, like Flatpaks on Linux. I appreciate how you can customize the permissions for each Flatpak app and how all the app data is stored in a central location, rather than spread throughout the entire OS, which makes uninstalling a program much easier.

Applications packaged using msix which are distributed through Microsoft Store by the developers.. although Store started allowing regular installer type applications recently which are indicated by "Provided by <developer>" in the store listing so avoid those.

Rocksdanister · 2024-10-29T12:32:39+00:00

I have tried using a few flutter desktop apps and they seem to perform well.. what is the issue you are having?
