Wallpaper render incorrectly when main display is on the right about awesomewallpaper

[Hirnmoder]

Doing my own Custom-Wallpaper project I stumbled upon this issue as well.

@AlexanderPro the problem lies here:

AwesomeWallpaper/AwesomeWallpaper/MainWindow.xaml

Line 8 in 26d48e6

AllowsTransparency="True"

and here

AwesomeWallpaper/AwesomeWallpaper/MainWindow.xaml

Line 16 in 26d48e6

Opacity="{Binding Opacity}">

Progman (Explorer) fails with transparent windows if the primary screen is not on the left.

A possible solution would be to disable transparency and draw the background image yourself. The file %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper (it comes without extension but in JPEG-format) contains the background image. I don't know if this holds true if the user selected "Slideshow" in the Personalization>Background settings.

Hope this helps :)

Hi, icharge and Hirnmoder

Thanks that you highlighted the issue and the interesting idea to solve it. I hope I have fixed it in this version 1.1.2.

I removed lines:
AllowsTransparency="True"
Opacity="{Binding Opacity}"

But I have not used the file %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper
instead of this I captured the desktop background programmatically
