I would like to set a wallpaper without an external app if at all possible

Bug using slideshow as background wallpaper

I've configured my windows to use slideshow as wallpaper and set the window theme based on color of the background picture. Using windows explorer, when the wallpaper changes if you are navigating through a list of itens then windoes selects the first
item from that list. Its annoying.

 

unable to change the lock screen Wallpaper.

Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• 
  What is the exact issue that you are facing?
  
• 
  Are you facing issues while trying to change the lock screen Wallpaper?
  
• 
  Are you not able to choose the directory where the wallpapers has been saved?
  

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to restart the computer and check if you are able to successfully change the lock screen wallpaper.

• 
  From Desktop, right click and select
  Personalize.
  
• 
  In Personalization window, click on
  Lock Screen in the left pane.
  
• 
  And choose wallpaper you would like to apply for the lock screen by choosing the browse option.
  
• 
  Close the Personalization window.
  

If the issue still persists, please do reply with the required information. We will be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

sorry, but if you read, i replaced explorer.exe shell with cairo shell Cairo Desktop Environment
and i cannot access settings through the usual shortcut. however, i still have the run dialog, so you may be able to acess settings through there, for example, the normal command that runs is shell:appsFolder\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw... etc. but that does not exist in my current shell. could anyone figure out the whole command and i could replace shell with explorer.exe

edit: i realized that cairo and explorer exe will have different wallpaper settings, but i need to know how to change wallpaper in cairo

 

not relavant to the question

 

Figured it out. cairo shell inherits what the SHELL: class sets, (im assuming a registry) so, i can exit cairo, choose in explorer.exe (Default shell)shell, exit and reboot Cairo Shell

 

anyone know any good wallpapers? getting SICK of a blue window shining
