    Wallpaper slideshow timer not working


    I have my wallpaper set to switch every 30 minutes. It usually does switch every X:00 and X:30, but sometimes it doesn't, and it often switches more times in between the 30 minute marks. Sometimes it switches at a seemingly random time, or sometimes it will switch at a 30 minute mark like it is supposed to, and then switch again very soon after that, sometimes within the same minute.


    Why might this be happening and how can I fix it?

    :)

    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?
