Any way to slideshow images?

Hi all,

Just wondering if I can make a wallpaper with multiple pictures and transitions between them every couple minutes or so. Basically like the windows 10 slideshow background but with transitions through this program?

Cheers

Hey,
Right now you could only make a custom wallpaper like that if you know HTML and JavaScript. But since this is a highly requested feature, it looks like I will start working on this after the next patch is released.

Also just to clarify, do you mean multiple live wallpapers of Wallpaper Engine or do you mean multiple pictures from your harddrive with custom transitions?

Cheers.

Ah ok cool no problem!
Cheers for the quick reply, Im on about pictures from your hard-drive with custom transiations, rather than multiple live backgrounds, although that could be cool too haha!.

Actually found the workaround. Maybe it will help someone who wants a slideshow on a seperate monitor without the peek through on the main monitor. Just set a static wallpaper with windows and then in the workshop grab "Slideshow v2.0" Use that for your slideshow and put whatever else on you main monitor.

There is a Playlist feature if you want to cycle through wallpapers that are displayed:

When using the "Change Wallpaper" option you should see a little check-box in the upper-right corner of the preview image for each wallpaper. Check that box on a wallpaper to add it to a playlist, along with whatever other wallpapers you'd like to include.

You should then also see, towards the bottom portion, some icons appear (like a folder, save and gear symbols), you can click on to make changes of the setting for that playlist (like duration of when to change into next wallpaper, random or sorted, etc...) and to save your playlist or load a playlist.

There is a playlist feature by now. You can create a playlist by doing any of these:

- click the little checkbox on a wallpaper
- right click a wallpaper and 'add to playlist'
- drag & drop a wallpaper to the lower area that says 'playlist'
- click the plus icon next to the playlist
