AW5 – return of the Snow Leopard (updated)
October 6, 2009Just when it was looking like everything was coming together nicely something outside of my control occurs. Apple Mac OS X 10.6(.1) Snow Leopard has a potential issue with the programming language I use for AutoWallpaper. Now I'm not sure if this occurs on every machine running AW4/5 as it doesn't appear to affect my… [Read More]

I've had a limited amount of time to try out AW5 on Windows 7 Pro and so far only two issues have been noticed: Firstly, the options for delaying wallpaper changes due to CPU usage cannot be… [Read More]

Apple Mac OS X 10.6 wallpaper bug
September 8, 2009It would appear that some users of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard are experiencing issues when attempting to use custom wallpapers. This is in no way linked specifically to AutoWallpaper and is affecting users that aren't using AutoWallpaper.

Although this is currently in very early stages it is my hope to bring JPEG file tagging support to AutoWallpaper. Basically… [Read More]
