Hi Do a mils list search for wallpaper, and gollow the link on number 2, if the program has gone, then I have a copy - just email me.

You can make you own, using: success =3D w32Func (xSystemParametersInfo, {SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, dest_fname, 0}) and use FreeLib to convert jpg to bmp. Then you could set Windows scheduler to execute this program every hour. I wrote a program which sets desktop wallpaper from jpg image and writes= =20 today's date onto image. mistertrik at hotmail.com wrote: >=20 >=20 > Can anyone recommend a simple desktop wallpaper program? > I'd like to be able to point it at a directory full of pics and have it= =20 > auto-change ever few hours or so.... >=20 > *Free > *No spyware >=20 > =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D > .______<-------------------\__ > / _____<--------------------__|=3D=3D=3D > ||_ <-------------------/ > \__| Mr Trick >=20 >=20 >=20

I'm finding the GD lib to be faster when you want to display a jpg though, but the darn lib is over 700k. Im thinking of building a smaller version that only does decoding perhaps. Take care for now, Al

Im thinking of >building a smaller version that only does decoding perhaps. That's because Windows does not include all the wonderful libraries the world of *nix has. In fact, the FreeType library takes up almost half of the DLL (359 K). LibPNG is 167K, JpegLib is 137K, and Zlib takes up a whopping 63K. The actual GD part is only 202K. All compiled together, it gets lumped into a DLL of 711K. I believe I put a small note (perhaps too small) in there that if you wanted a smaller version, I could compile it for you. >Take care for now, >Al -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Does anyone really get my e-mails?

You have to define it yourself, it's not in Win32lib. Get Win32 API manual, like MSDN. global constant xSystemParametersInfo =3D registerw32Function(user32,=20 "SystemParametersInfoA", {C_UINT, C_UINT, C_POINTER, C_UINT}, C_INT ) I don't know anything about CxImage. mistertrik at hotmail.com wrote: >=20 >=20 > I am new to API programming.... where is this ->xSystemParametersInfo<-= =20 > defined? >=20 > Also, I dl'ed CxImage, but on running test.exw, got the error message=20 > inside=20 > exw.exe: >=20 > The instruction at 10035424 referenced memory at 0055fc04.

Thanks, Tone...
