Simon Brown Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Tools menu. This version allows you to actually set the image as your desktop background, as well as preview it on the actual desktop. When first launched, the show desktop command is activated (it works for me on Vista, i'm partly beta-publishing it to test it on other Windows versions).

LJXD Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I love these types of plugins, it makes PDN feel like it's a new version. Thank you very much, this will make it so much easier to preview a desktop. EDIT: Why can't you preview all the layers?

Simon Brown Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 EDIT: Why can't you preview all the layers? Effects can't do that (or, at least, they aren't allowed to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boude Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 One time I got this on windows XP Hidden Content: (I hope you understand that I hide this.) and after opening it a blue desktop, after changing the center/stretch/tile the place where my image should have been stayed blue and the rest grey. The second time it did nothing. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 The download dialog was probably because of the way the plugin shows the desktop (it doesn't seem to prompt on Vista) - i'll either find an alternative way to do this or not activate it automatically. Is the issue with the blue/grey desktop when ticking the box to show the previous background, or selecting the new one? If the latter, go to Documents\Paint.NET User Files\Wallpaper and try setting the copy of the target wallpaper saved there as your wallpaper through the windows dialog - does that work? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boude Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 New one and no, the image is just blue (#00439A), I tried this with my sig, it's the size of my sig, but just blue. The second time I tried this the same happened but I did see window, sorry for reporting wrong and for the Dutch translation, I didn't even notice it. By the way the current desktop background did work. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
