    [Trick] How to use two wallpapers in different orientation


    Hello. I give trick how to use different wallpapers in different display orientation. And give some info for future. Do it at your own risk!

    Experimental:
    Wallpaper trick (screen orientation) - Windows 10 Forums

    Prelude: Microsoft maked "Hero" wallpaper for multi resolution usage. For example in portrait one wallpaper ("img0_1200x1920.jpg"), in landscape second wallpaper ("img0.jpg"). This working for 1920x1200, 1920x1080 and 1280x800 resolutions. For replace in different resolution need replace different files. These wallpaper located in "Windows/Web/Wallpaper/Windows" and "Windows/Web/4K/Wallpaper/Windows". This wallpaper are hardcoded.

    I give trick how to replace and use multi resolution and per-orientation wallpaper.

    1. Give permission for these wallpaper. Need run at admin rights these script. Unlocks "1200x1920" and default resolution wallpapers.
    Code: TakeOwn.exe /F %SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg icacls %SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg /reset TakeOwn.exe /F %SystemRoot%\Web\4K\Wallpaper\Windows\img0_1200x1920.jpg icacls %SystemRoot%\Web\4K\Wallpaper\Windows\img0_1200x1920.jpg /reset[/quote] 2. Make reserve copy of system wallpapers. Rename: "img0.jpg" and "img0_1200x1920.jpg" to "img0.jpg.bak" and "img0_1200x1920.jpg.bak".

    3. Rename your new wallpapers to "img0.jpg" and "img0_1200x1920.jpg".
    4. Paste to system wallpapers folder (see batch script locations).
    5. Go to personalization and re-set default wallpaper. Also you may see own image in settings instead of "Hero".

    Try rotate screen of your tablet. You must see changes of wallpapers.
    For ASUS T100 need change "1366x768" and "768x1366" wallpapers. Both in 4K folder.

    Update! Final screenshots. From Lenovo Thinkpad 8.

    Dual Monitor Setup - Windows 10 randomly changes wallpaper order

    Hello all

    I have a dual monitor setup running Windows 10 where my primary screen i horizontal and my secondary screen is oriented vertically.

    I used the method of selecting two images (CTRL + left mouse click), right clicked the secondly selected image (vertical wallpaper) and chose "set as desktop background" in the context menu, to set my desktop backgrounds (wallpapers), which sets the wallpapers
    correctly... but after an arbitrary amount of time parses the wallpaper changes - either switching the wallpapers around or setting the wallpaper of the primary monitor as the wallpaper of both monitors.

    PS.: The cycling of wallpapers is turned off.

    How do I use activesync to sync two different mobile devices on the same pc

    You can create two profiles for each device in Outlook. On starting Outlook, you will be able to choose which profile to load and connect the appropriate device.


    To create profiles in Outlook, go to Start - Contol Panel - Mail. Click Show profiles buttton and Add profiles.

    [Trick] How to use two wallpapers in different orientation

    Take 2 - hardcore method.

    Means need change cached image. Main feature - no need change system images.
    1. Go to to deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep folder.
    Code: C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles[/quote] 2. If you see CachedImage_1920_1080_POS5.jpg paste your new background as CachedImage_1080_1920_POS5.jpg i.e. swap resolution numbers.
    3. You can rotate screen and see another wallpaper.

    Warning! Changes resets after restart PC.

    Bonus! Add to startup this script.
    Before using this script, apply one of two wallpaper through state tool, then replace cached images.
    I'm tried remove or replace transcoded but gets glitches. So I recommend apply wallpaper before and, next, use script.

     Code: echo "replace transcoded wallpaper (don't forbid)" :: del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper :: copy /Y CachedImage_1200_1920_POS5.jpg %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper :: pause echo "restore FullHD 16:10 oriented image" copy /Y CachedImage_1200_1920_POS5.jpg %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles\CachedImage_1200_1920_POS5.jpg copy /Y CachedImage_1920_1200_POS5.jpg %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles\CachedImage_1920_1200_POS5.jpg :: pause :: echo "restore FullHD 16:9 oriented image" :: copy /Y CachedImage_1080_1920_POS5.jpg %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles\CachedImage_1080_1920_POS5.jpg :: copy /Y CachedImage_1920_1080_POS5.jpg %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles\CachedImage_1920_1080_POS5.jpg :: pause[/quote] And paste CachedImage_1920_1200_POS5.jpg and CachedImage_1200_1920_POS5.jpg with script. Script with wallpapers may be located in any directory. Main - add to startup!

    I think first method are better. But need always refresh background after restart your PC. In Windows 10 have bug with Hero wallpaper. But first method have less glitches. I'm not found method for make multi resolution wallpaper for "Custom" folder, not "Windows/img0.jpg".

    These glitches:
    - In start menu (tablet mode) uses system or changed wallpaper i.e. pick up from register. With Hero wallpaper no this glitch.
    - Resets background to default (setted by CP)

    I'm recommend read: Windows 10 - CCMEXEC.COM System Center blog
    He speak about, how to replace default wallpapers.

    [Trick] How to use two wallpapers in different orientation

    Maybe, it is not the newest thread, but i may have a solution which one could use.
    With this way of solving the problem, no hacks are needed.

    I wrote a small program, which allows you to define a path where your images are stored and the name of the images.
    The names must contain the resolution. So it knows, when to use which wallpaper.
    (If the images are in the same folder as the application, the path can be ignored).

    Simply, an image says more than 1000 words.


    [Trick] How to use two wallpapers in different orientation [​IMG]


    The Applications runs in the background and has a small symbol in your sys tray.
    You can create a link in your startup folder, so it automatically starts with Windows.

    The applications was tested with Windows 10 on a surface 2 and my personal notebook.
    Actually .NET Framework 4.5.2 has to be installed (at least).
    Download link: http://ul.to/lpnpgnqe or Share-Online - dl/Z0GSZE4OL6


    Edit: 22.03.2016
    Added New Version:
    - It is now possible, to set a fix name for the landscape or portrait image. These parameters are checked first.
    It is still possible, to define a variable file name.
    - The Lock Screen image is now also supported with the same parameters
    - The user can also set a custom image for the Login Screen. Caution: This could probably harm your system in case of an error, because it overwrites the file "Windows.UI.Logon.pri" of windows. If something happens, just replace the file in "C:\Windows\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon" with the automatically created backup in your application folder or "C:\Windows\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon\Windows.UI.Logon.pri.bak".
