DexClock/Wallpaper Clock Plugin

[raad]

Dexpot is a fantastic product, and I think the wallpaper clock integration in Dexpot is brilliant!

One feature request I would love to see is the ability to rotate the wallpaper clock on a timed basis, so for example you could switch to a different wallpaper clock every hour/4 hours/day/etc.
Yes, the interaction with the desktop customisation is potentially complicated, but I would be happy with having the same wallpaper clock on every desktop if the "rotate on a timer" option was applied - otherwise the normal (existing) options would apply (i.e. the option for a different wallpaper clock for each desktop).

If that's too difficult/complicated, perhaps amend the DexClock /Wallpaper Clock plugin executable to accept a "wallpaper clock" filename parameter - that way people could use a task scheduler and do the switching themselves.

Dexclock already does.

Hi Patrick

That's great, but what are the usage parameters?
I tried running:

Code: Select all

"Wallpaper Clock.exe" c:\downloads\pianist1440x900.wcz

but that's obviously wrong, as it does nothing. Just running "Wallpaper Clock.exe" doesn't give any usage details.

Exactly like that, but with Dexclock.exe (the standalone application, not the Dexpot plugin).

Aha! Smashing, it works.
Now I just need to write a shell script to do a random selection and apply it.

Is there any reason why this is not an option with the Dexpot Wallpaper Clock plugin?

I was particularly attracted to - the possibility to every desktop siting different folders. And the fact that the program remembers the spatial arrangement of the different folders.

Because each desktop for me - it's a project. Very convenient and comfortable to do.

Is it possible to have the dexclock plugin run a clock wallpaper on just one of my two monitors?
