NuonSoft Wallpaper Cycler download

v3.6 [Jul 3, 2009]
Bug fixes:
When thumbnail view was enabled, and the thumbnails were just being created, deleting the current wallpaper category caused a crash.
Some PNG images were loaded to dark.
Minor issue with OSD position.
If themes were disabled in Windows XP, setting "Always use XP-style menus" to false in Wallpaper Cycler still rendered XP style menus.
The installer will now use the correct localized program files folder as default.
After explorer crash: automatically calculating background color didn't work anymore.
Banner in settings window is cut off with StyleXP.
The algorithm for choosing a random wallpaper had a serious flaw: it would only choose between the first 32767 wallpapers in your list. The new algorithm uses a Mersenne Twister Algorithm and doesn't have the 32767 limitation.
URLs with a ? at the end didn't work.
The filename-based duplicate finder works much faster now with huge number of wallpapers.
Populating the listview (in text or thumbnail mode) in the main window with the wallpapers is much faster now when using thousands of wallpapers.
Wallpaper Cycler could crash when trying to delete a large category and all of its sub categories.
Crash when an object in a layout (wallpaper object for example) touches the right side of the screen and has a border width of > 0 with "Inside Border" disabled.
The cycle-at-times didn't always work.
Entering lots of cycle-at-times is now more user friendly. Your last added cycle-at-time gets selected in the list.
The desktop icons would reappear when you had enabled "Hide desktop icons" in WPC, and you had disabled the "Show desktop icons" in Windows itself.
An issue with the URL Wallpapers (for example webcams). Sometimes the image was retrieved from the local cache instead of from the internet.
Allow was very slow.
Fixed some issues with importing .WCL v2.x files.
"Add to Wallpaper Cycler" from the windows shell -> category tree didn't had a scrollbar.
The difference between file>settings and tools>options is now better explained and are renamed.
Some TGA files where inverted and upside-down.
Fixed a crash when using the delete button in the toolbar to delete a category.
New features:
When cycling to the next wallpaper (unless sequential cycling is enabled), the category of the current wallpaper is skipped, meaning WPC will try to get a random wallpaper from other categories, unless ofcourse all other wallpapers have already been randomly chosen and the current category does still contain wallpapers that haven't been chosen randomly.
A new option in "File > Document Settings > Text Color Settings" to also use the automatically calculated background color (based on desktop icon positions) as the true background color for the wallpaper and not only for the icons.
Much improved quality with image scaling especially for shrinking images.
Support for the GIF file format (not animated gif files): Because the Unisys GIF patents are expired now, Wallpaper Cycler now supports GIF files.
"Random from fixed category" option for wallpaper objects in a layout.
Show EXIF data from wallpapers (for example digital camera data).
A hand-cursor is now shown when you move your mouse on the desktop over an object on which you can double click (for example: the Calendar Notes objects)
A Calendar Notes Object that can be added to layouts.
The tray icon right click menu has a new "show/hide desktop icons" item.
You can now specify default wallpaper settings (tiling and layout) for new wallpapers added to Wallpaper Cycler.
A basic RSS reader has been added which allows you to display RSS headlines on your desktop and quickly launch the internet-link associated with an RSS feed news-item.
Screensaver module with 40+ transition effects.
You can now attach a third party application to each wallpaper. A program can be executed when a specific wallpaper disappears from the desktop or when it appears on the desktop. This allows you to for example use a third party application to make custom icon-layouts for each wallpaper. Wallpaper Cycler can add the name of the wallpaper as part of the parameters to the third party app.
A new option "Do not cycle during screensaving or locked desktop" in "Tools > Program Settings > Miscellaneous". Enable this option to prevent Wallpaper Cycler from cycling the wallpaper when a screensaver is running or when you have locked your desktop.
