windynamicdesktop's Issues

Can you also please support showing video files?

Could be cool...

Add installer with option to run program on startup

Build a simple installer that installs the program to local AppData folder. Also consider having the installer download images.zip instead of the program on first run. The installer could also set up having the program automatically run on Windows startup.

Option to remove status bar icon

Would be nice to disable the status bar icon, since settings can be done on the conf file. This way it would be completely seamless, running on background.

Automatic change lock screen

Change lock screen picture same as desktop

Remove use of Internet API for sunrise/sunset times

Currently using the REST API on sunrise-sunset.org, but this requires an Internet connection and I realized it is unnecessary when there are C# libraries like this one that can accurately calculate the sunrise/sunset times using math which is way cooler.

Retry fetching sunrise/sunset data if Internet connection is down

Occasionally the wallpaper fails to update when I wake my laptop from sleep. I believe this is caused by the Internet connection not coming up quickly enough for the program to get the new sunrise/sunset data.

Setup of v1.2 is recognized as a potential threat

When running the setup of v1.2 Windows Defender recognizes it as a virus and refuses to run it.

UWP app changes wallpaper fit on multiple monitors

UWP app changes the wallpaper fit from "Fit" to "Span", rather than leaving it set to whatever the user last selected in Windows 10 Settings. The desktop app does not have this bug though.

weather

What about the possibility to add images for different weather, like snowy, windy, cloudy... using the wheater forecast?
Even if it's not what Apple did could be a sweet add!

Thanks again for the sweet work You did!

Avira detects WinDynamicDesktop as a trojan

Surely WinDynamicDesktop is safe, right? Should I mark it as safe?

Make program work with other images

Add images.conf file that allows user to specify custom images to show during day/night.

Resolution Fix

I have a Samsung SyncMaster 733nw Monitor. the res of the monitor is 1440x900 and the aspect ration is 16:10. The picture it download are in 16:9. I get two black Bars in Up and down Plz Fix this Soon

Use metadata from Apple HEIC files to determine when to show images

According to https://itnext.io/macos-mojave-dynamic-wallpapers-ii-f8b1e55c82f, it seems like each HEIC file may contain information about the altitude and azimuth for which each image should be shown. Using this information could make the app change images at more optimal times.

Wallpapers Are Not Changing

Now i have another problem.my wallpapers dont change if i update my location then it changes plz fix it

Port to a UWP?

I am just starting to learn C# so I am not by all means an expert,

I have been trying to port the code to a UWP app with a background task that periodically changes the Wallpaper and the lockscreen. so far I only got the location services and sunrisesunset API to work with a little success in applying the wallpaper which is fairly easy to do.
I couldn't do the scheduling part or registering the background task, unfortunately.
The goal I am trying to get is to creat an interface in the app where pictures are chosen as ZIP file rather than downloading it through the app. The wallpaper of the desktop and/or the lockscreen change not only based on time of the day schedule but also based on weather.
(https://github.com/moutasem1989/ActiveDynamicWall)
I have tried setting the app to go through the images based on the time of the day but I still haven't managed to get it to work … any help is highly appreciated

[Windows Store] Right click>about gives error

Toggle option to hide tray icon entry in taskbar

Request for an enhancement feature to hide the tray icon in taskbar.
Purpose: To clean-up native system taskbar entries for users who opt to want it neat which also somehow makes the experience kinda native in the OS integration.
Catch: might cause question to unwary users on the app existence and background app persistence. Thus, the feature could be turn off by default and will prompt an information messagebox if enabled : (i.e. that informs the user that the app will be running in the background without user interface. App can still be terminated at the task manager. And app toggles/options can be launch back again if the app is relaunch from the main .exe entry point application or thru registry entry toggle.) If feature is enabled, toggle should persist as "hidden UI" even if computer is restarted.

Add update checker for desktop version

If a Windows Store version is released, it will automatically update. But for the desktop version, it would be nice to have options to both manually and automatically check for updates.

Add fade effect when wallpaper changes

This would be a neat thing to do, and apparently some people have figured out ways to do it in C#: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1978323/how-to-add-fade-effect-when-changing-wallpaper-using-c-sharp

Wallpaper not refreshing automatically, have to use manual option

I'm using the latest portable version, Start on Boot enabled, location Europe, and the wallpapers aren't updating automatically. I always check with the "manual refresh" option to see if it's working and most of the time the program is stuck to an earlier hour. Is this an issue of mine or is there a bug within the program? Not implying anything, I love the concept, just wish it would be auto.

Suggestion: Save images to FOLDERID_ProgramData and config file to FOLDERID_RoamingAppData

Hi there,

a suggestion for your tool: You could save the images.zip file user independent location %ProgramData%\WinDynamicDesktop and your settings.conf to %AppData%\Roaming\WinDynamicDesktop.
This would make it easier to run your program from its own %ProgramFiles%-Folder without tinkering with folder permissions.

A downside to this is, that it would make removing your program a bit more involved, since the user would have to delete these folders manually. This would have to be mentioned in the README I guess.

App won't change the wallpaper after restarting and setting a different location

Steps to reproduce

• Open the app and set a location
• Restart the app
• Try setting a different location

It seems it sets the location successfully in the settings.conf but doesn't change the wallpaper until restarted again

Add solar gradient images as alternate wallpaper

Avira detects WinDynamicDesktop as a trojan

Is this a false positive? Surely WinDynamicDesktop is safe. Could someone help me out? I don't know whether to unblock it or not.

why not add version information ?

I can only try to update the local exe by checking the release time.
Why not add version information to the menu bar? Such as the "About" menu item

I suppose the internet connection wasn't fully restored yet and GetLatestVersion returned null.

Avast detection

Avast's avg module is triggered when you click "start on boot", the module is idp.alexa.51

Enhancement

This is really just an aesthetic peeve but I was wondering if you could make the app in such a way that when you click the icon it launches a macOS themed tab with the toggle feature, rounded corners, buttons to maximise, minimise and close the app, etc. And I was also wondering if you can prevent the system from thinking that individual wallpapers are being used in the Setting apps, could you possibly add an icon of the app instead? I don't know anything about coding, so to be honest I don't know if you can do any of this. And could you add the Solar Gradient Dynamic Desktop wall paper as well? Thanks.

Research and fix potential memory leak

According to this link, some users experience ram usage as high as 50 MB. This is not exorbitant, but it is significantly less for me when the app starts. There may be a memory leak when wallpaper images are loaded into memory each time they get updated, so research this.

UWP error

执行的名称请求无效。此时无法检索请求的名称

Add dark mode

The macOS Mojave beta was released today, so more details have now been made public about how the dynamic desktop feature works. When dark mode is enabled, only the night pictures are shown, even during the daytime. This would be a neat option to add to the app.

Add logging to text file

Currently it is difficult to debug the program if something goes wrong because it runs in the background most of the time. Adding logging of error info and messages whenever the wallpaper is updated to a file would be useful.

[Feature] Change App Light/Dark Mode when wallpaper changes?

This would match the MacOS implementation and be a very nice feature as well.

I think all that would need to change would be modifying this registry key at the proper time.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize\AppsUseLightTheme

Type: DWORD
0 - Use dark theme
1 - Use light theme

This could be accomplished perhaps by calling this method inside this one if the proper conditions are met?

A bonus feature IMO would be the addition of two toggles, one to enable/disable this feature and one to enable/disable changing wallpaper (so this could be used as a light/dark changer without the wallpaper feature).

Random error

Got this error message, with app running in the bg, did nothing special and not actively interacting with the app.

I see it couldn't update the wallpaper (after working fine for a long while) so I clicked on "refresh wallpaper" and the wallpaper did change.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Dark theme is not affecting explorer

When Dark Mode is enabled it affects the title part of the explorer window, but not the background.
I'm currently using a RS5 preview build 17441, so maybe they changed the way dark theme is activated...

Anyway thanks for the app, you've done a great job 👍

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

I got this exception error out of nowhere at around 10.30 PM.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Thank you!

Hi,
I use Windows 7 Professional, and I live in Hungary.
I downloaded your program, and It's working fine! 👍
I made the images.conf file to the program's folder, and now, I have to find a beautiful place somewhere...
Your program is great, I like this idea (I know that's the Apple's idea, but you did it for Windows), but I want to use my pictures instead of the desert image.
I tried with an another picture, and it will be good.

Thanks!

Doesn't understand any city

I tried with a bunch of cities but it's not working, this is the report it return.

************** Debug JIT **************
Per abilitare il debug JIT, è necessario impostare il valore
jitDebugging nella sezione system.windows.forms del file di configurazione
dell'applicazione o del computer (machine.config).
L'applicazione inoltre deve essere compilata con il debug
abilitato.

Ad esempio:

Use Windows 10 location API if enabled

This was originally planned for version 2.0, but I encountered some difficulties with using the UWP API in a WPF desktop app. Since there have been enough changes to warrant version 2.0, this will be delayed until 2.1 but is still planned.

Sunrise/sunset times may be in wrong time zone

If a user of the app travels around the world, the sunrise/sunset times for their home location will be in whatever time zone their computer is set to. This causes negative time spans if there is too large a difference between the time zones.

Multi-Monitor support

Hi,

I have 2 monitors set up - is there a way to maximize the wallpaper to fit the whole width or is the image size not sufficient?

Regards,

Wallpaper doesn't always update on wake from sleep

When I originally tested the app this was working, but recently it stopped working on my PC. This seems more serious than what I reported as #7. Currently it's difficult to debug the program when not running it from Visual Studio, so probably should implement #8 first.

Error when program starts at boot

A user on Reddit reported that he gets this error every time the program runs at boot:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException (0x80004005): A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Wallpaper stretches on vertical screen

On a vertical monitor, the program stretches the images. Need to add a feature so it fills instead.

Not starting on boot Windows 10

Checked compatibility to run as admin in windows 10, no luck starting on boot, have to start manually.
