Slideshow wallpapers

[XFox111]

Is there a way to use this module to set a slideshow wallpaper for VDs?

I've tried to specify path to a folder instead of a specific picture with following commands:

Set-DesktopWallpaper -Desktop 1 -Path "C:\Users\[redacted]\OneDrive\Pictures\Wallpapers\"
Set-AllDesktopWallpapers -Path "C:\Users\[redacted]\OneDrive\Pictures\Wallpapers\"

The first command didn't yield any errors, but upon switching to this desktop, it uses the first picture from the folder and there's a glitch during switching animation when it shows folder's thumbnail as a wallpaper

And the second command throws an exception:

MethodInvocationException: C:\Users\eugen\OneDrive\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\VirtualDesktop\1.5.7\VirtualDesktop.ps1:2026

Hello @XFox111,

setting a slideshow wallpaper is no "virtual desktop" setting since it applies to the whole desktop. For this reason there is no virtual desktop API function to achieve this.
Please search the internet, there are several examples to change the wallpaper with Powershell.

Ah, I see. I figured that if there's an API to change static wallpapers for each VD, then there should be an API to set a slideshow folder for each VD as well
