The bar which previously showed the background is no longer there (URL...) and the settings app allows me to change my background but not shuffle the wallpapers in a folder. Surely they have not removed this basic and popular function?
View 1 RepliesI have two monitors and I was wondering if it is possible to have one monitor have a static wallpaper and the other shuffle wallpapers.
View 2 RepliesSo I only recently upgraded to Windows 10, and I'm a bit of a wallpaper nut, so I immediately noticed that my wallpapers have been simply scrolling through the images set in my folder, instead of shuffling through them. I know Windows 7 had the ability to shuffle the images, did they take that away? Is there any way to get them to shuffle?
View 4 RepliesIs as title says. Looking for a way to make the slideshow feature shuffle my photos when I play them, as opposed to playing through them in the order they sit in the folder. Win 7 had this option, and It was easily accessible. I may be being an idiot and missing it in front of my face, but I cant find it.
View 3 RepliesYou know how you can add more virtual desktops on windows 10? Well i was wondering if i could have like a background for Desktop 1, and have a completely separate background for Desktop 2.
View 1 RepliesI have a theme on my desktop PC which obtains its backgrounds from a folder in My Documents. There are about 300 in there. I have no issues with the theme using all the backgrounds available.
Until, that is, I switch on the sync theme option. Then the theme which magically appears on my laptop is the same, but only has about 10 backgrounds which the theme is accessing in a new folder called Desktopbackgrounds. In other words, they don't all sync across.
I go back to my desktop PC and it then has the same issue. Instead of using the folder in My Documents with all my backgrounds in, it is also only using the 10 or so stored in the roaming folder Desktopbackgrounds.
I'd like to sync my theme across my PC and laptop, but if it doesn't let more than 10 backgrounds sync, whats the point!
So I started changing my desktop backgrounds with my own images, but now, in "Settings", I no longer see the backgrounds that are included with Windows 10, like the blue Windows logo one. They don't show up in the 5 boxes.
This new "Settings" Personalisation page is terrible... Where are they saved?
If you have a dual monitors and want to set a different background for each. You don't need third party program to set them. Here's an easy way:
Copy the background images to: C:WindowsWebWallpaperWindows
Use CTRL key for multiple selection to select both backgrounds.Right click on one background->Set as desktop background
You should have a separate background for each monitor.
The background images will be stored under:
%USERPROFILE%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsThemes
as:
Transcoded_000 and Transcoded_001 without extension
If you want to swap the images, just rename 0 to 1, 1 to 0. Sign out and sign back in or right click on desktop and select: Next desktop background
Here's an example .....
What is the directory in Windows 10 in which a selected image (after being applied to desktop background) is saved?
View 4 RepliesI downloaded and tried out some different pictures for my desktop background. After deciding on one of them I deleted the others from my pictures folder but the deleted pictures are still showing in the personalisation window and can even still be set as background. Why that's happening or how to stop it?
