  1. Automatically disable wallpaper slideshow when starting games?


    So thanks to /u/faz712 (seriously, THANK YOU) I found out that my folder of 1000 pictures and 5 GB of weight puts some serious strain on the games that I play, resulting in serious stutters every minute (since I want to see as many pics as possible I put the timer to 1 min).

    I wondered if I could enable/disable the slideshow automatically whenever I start up games? Like putting a rule in place that says "If game.exe is running, slideshow goes into hibernation".
    Probably not but it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Thanks a lot in advance for any answers!

    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.

    Wallpaper Slideshow on Only One Monitor

    Hello. As the title suggests, I want to have desktop wallpapers that are different on each monitor. More specifically, I want to have one single wallpaper for my main screen, but I want my secondary screen to cycle through a slideshow. Is there a way to
    set only one screen to have a slideshow?
