Windowblinds 10, and most of its predecessors, doesn't cycle wallpaper automatically

from Stardock Forums

I've been a windowblinds user for a very long time now, and I've never seen this feature work.  Has anyone else?  Is there some special trick to it?

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not sure about this, but personally, I do not use Windowblinds wallpaper setting since Windows 10 has its own wallpaper engine that work great for me. Any special reason you have, to use Windowblinds wallpapers control instead Windows 10 build in Background/Wallpaper control?

Thanks

Comparing join dates, Basj, it looks like you've been at this about four months longer than I.  I started with Window Blinds and have stayed with it over the years.  I didn't find the Win10 wallpaper engine that impressive, frankly, and was wondering if anyone else had ever seen the problem.  I always liked the concept of being able to select a set of wallpapers and set the frequency of change from one place that WB offers.  Over the 17 years of being a subscriber, have never posted a question on any of the Stardock forums, and this seemed to be a good place to start.  Is there anyone you could ask?

While I will test this today at some point, with your active OD sub, you do have access to DeskScapes - a product more attune, and with more options for desktop art - than WB.  Is there a reason you are not using it?

I've not tried Deskscapes in several years, Sean, but will give it another go.  My previous problems (performance) were related to the platforms I was using - now, with upscaled computers and Windows 10, it might be better.  But, your response and Basj's btheg the question - why doesn't the WB 'auto-change' feature work?
