Wallpaper update bug

Postby Clok » 27.09.2012 05:54:24

Hello! I realized that if desktop icons are set to be hidden in at least 2 desktops (works fine if it's only one desktop), wallpaper does not update when switching between these "iconless" desktops. Any workarounds perhaps?

:dex:

I've tried the following with Dexpot 1.6.3 on both Windows 7 and Windows XP:

Open "Configure Desktops", select different wallpapers for Desktop 1 and Desktop 2, set icons to hidden for both desktops and apply changes. Switch back and forth a few times between D1 and D2.

Result: The wallpaper updates correctly on every switch and desktop icons remain hidden.

Any hints?

Thanks Patrick. I tried the solution you offered on 1.6.3 but that didn't work unfortunately. Perhaps the reason is that I am not using images as wallpapers but different background colors selected through Dexpot interface.

You're right, I can reproduce the problem with different background colors and no image files.

Will be fixed in the next version. :ok:
