Support for Multiple Backgrounds that are cycled through over time (like a slideshow) about applauncher HOT 21 CLOSED

even with the flipview i am still getting the flickering looking to add animation to see if i can animate smoothly when changing pictures

from applauncher.

@colinkiama i am not sure if that branch had the persistance update to it or not if not will upload soon

from applauncher.

@colinkiama you should see if this can be implemented for the background https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/rotatortile

Do you mean download image from webservice, files and folders on same computer, or files and folders on a network?

@colinkiama
does it need to run even when the app is not or only when the application is running?

if only when running then i would modify the loading settings function and attach to a thread timer and run it every 60 minutes or so

do you want to allow users to say how long in between image changes?

from applauncher.

nope

from applauncher.

Do we want users to be able to delete images, or change image order

from applauncher.

Yeah

from applauncher.

Had to upload the video as a zip github does not support mp4

from applauncher.

Oh. In that case, I recommend cycling through images using a flip view

from applauncher.

@colinkiama even with animation i was unable to get smooth transistions, i changed flipview for rotatortile and currently have the rotation delay set to 15 seconds to check image changing, i get no flicker and it is smooth transistions So far the only thing i do not have implemented for changing backgrounds is persistance think i know how to do that currently working on it if you would like to look at it i have it on cyclebackground branch

from applauncher.

I've had a look. Yeah it works great.

from applauncher.

@colinkiama that branch did have persistance is there anything else i should try. I am looking to make the application more responsive

from applauncher.
