can someone make a module that can change the wallpaper by the script in the theme rc. not by a !bang in script rc. one that you can configure just like all the other moudules.that would be the best module ever!

use literunner on a loaded module's classname/windowname.

I am 99% sure every wallpaper module allows you to set the default on startup without a script being run.

DeViLbOi,
will they CHANGE the wall with a module configure script?
for instance:
on a color change(one that replaces the module configuration scripts with a new ones) what module will change the wall paper as well? one that i can include the script with the rest of the module scripts and upon recycle it will change the wallpaper.

This may seem dumb, but you can always use *Script startup freatures in MZScript, no?

Warma,
how do you mean?

tnl,
you lost me.

literunner executes something when a window class is detected. you could specify the desktop module's class name to execute a bang (to change the wallpaper). this is the same as using mzscript's *script start mechanism, which will execute upon each recycle/startup of litestep.

tnl,
can you give me a sample scpript?

What script? That module only uses step settings to set the wallpaper on startup. And again...how hard is it to use *Script Start to change it with the modules you already have running?

!mulestem: Tje *Script Start is a feature in MZScript. In the scriptfile, all the commands prefixed with *Script start are executed immediately on LS startup. I use it to load settings, restore theme outlook etc.

Example:
*Script start !HandleShortCutVisibility

If you don't have MZScript (which 99% of themes incorporate these days, I'm sure), get it now. It's great and when theming you'll need it someday anyway.

If all you need is to have all your themes set its own wallpaper when you switch to them or at start up, you dont need a module for that, just make a theme ini for each theme.
If thats what you want post back and ill run you through it.(its very simple)

DeV, if you havnt noticed im pretty clueless!

Warma, so then i can put *Script start !wallpaper bla bla (with miniwall) with the other module settings and it will change the current wallpaper when recycled?

oilman, i allready use theme ini. my problem is beyond that. thanks though.

!mulestem: if you use *Script Start you don't need miniwall because LSWallChanger is already configured for the theme.ini stuff.
