[BUG] Wallpaper not updated properly when changed

from Stardock Forums

I use  a tool called "John's Background Changer" which periodically changes my wallpaper. The bug is that Fences 3.0.1 still shows the old wallpaper when switching "icon screens", changing back to my actual wallpaper when the animation finishes, resulting in very unpleasant behavior.

 

Thanks!

John's Background Changer uses the Windows API to change the wallpaper, by all of its rules. I would expect Fences to support that :)

By "icon screens" I assume you mean pages?

That is correct. One thing's new though -- I can no longer reproduce this issue after restarting my PC. I guess this topic can be closed now.

What happens if you turn off the Translucent Fence backgrounds

I have the same problem using the default Background Slideshow in Win 10. 

The background image changes but the background in the Fences keeps the old color scheme.

Turning off Translucent Fence backgrounds solved the problem, thanks!
