Allright, so I'm having a bit of problems applying a wallpaper for bblean in windows 8.1 64-bit (also I have dual monitors, and my goal is to apply a wallpaper exactly the same on both screens). When I'm trying to apply an actual wallpaper with the command:

blackbox.background.rootCommand: bsetroot -tile "F:BoxBilderBakgrundsbilderNaturSkyscapeclouds-airplane.jpg" -vdesk!(When I don't put "-vdesk" it gets pixelated!)

It looks perfect until I restart my computer. First it looks like this:

Then when I restart the computer it looks like this:

And it also writes this to"C:bbLeanpluginsbbLeanBarbbLeanBar.dll" (the bbLeanBar.2 stuff):

When I choose a solid background though, like so:

blackbox.background.rootCommand: bsetroot -solid #9cb8d4

it's completely fine.

 

All of the "blackbox.background.rootCommand" commands are in extensions.rc. I have no idea what the problem is and I can't find a solution. I'm suspecting it has something to do with my second bbLeanBar which I have for my second monitor "C:bbLeanpluginsbbLeanBar2bbLeanBar.dll".

 

It would be awesome if someone had a solution for this. Thanks.

What only rootCommand? Not "blackbox.background." before it? Do you put it in the style file or extensions.rc? Also not quotes for the path? It doesn't seem to work for me.

Ah when I put:

blackbox.background.rootCommand: bsetroot -tile C:bbLeanwpclouds-airplane.jpg -vdesk

in extensions.rc it actually seems to work. Thanks Pico_No_Blackbox.

But now when I put the old:

blackbox.background.rootCommand: bsetroot -tile "F:BoxBilderBakgrundsbilderNaturSkyscapeclouds-airplane.jpg" -vdesk

That didn't work before actually works now. I'm so confused

Ok so I'm putting:

! -- background --rootCommand: bsetroot -tile C:bbLeanwpclouds-airplane.jpg -vdesk

In the style now, it seems to work, and hopefully it will not fuck up in the future.

In Windows 7, I used the following batch in style's rootCommand:

@echo offcd /d "%~dp0"setlocal EnableDelayedExpansionset r=%random%set n=0for %%f in (backgrounds*.*) do (   set /A n+=1   set "file[!n!]=%%f")set /A "rand=(n*%random%)/32768+1"set file=!file[%rand%]!echo %cd%%file%bsetroot.exe %cd%%file%

It sets the random wallpaper every time I start bblean.

However, in Windows 8.1 Update, it fails.

bsetroot works properly only if it was called from the rootCommand directly.

Any workaround will be appreciated.

Edit:

Wrong thread probably. I found this and I am not alone: http://blackbox4wind...ly-image/page-3
