Now when a wallpaper cycle occurs in AutoWallpaper 5 whilst running on Windows 7 it will attempt to trigger the blending of the previous and new wallpapers. This feature requires Aero to… [Read More]
Excitement overload, somethings coming
October 30, 2009Just thought I'd make a rather sneaky blog posting to announce that there will be a very nice AutoWallpaper 5 update coming this weekend (all being well) for all you Windows 7 fans out there. I'm not going to tell you what this entails as yet but rest assured I had to do a little… [Read More]
Windows 7 up and running
October 26, 2009As I mentioned in my previous post I planned to upgrade, or rather wipe the drive and install Windows 7 last weekend (24th Oct 2009) and as expected it went very smoothly. First off, before starting I copied my Vista partition to another drive (just in case) and backed up my documents and preferences. I… [Read More]
Windows 7 incoming
October 21, 2009There will be very limited support available this weekend as I will be reformating my hard drive, installing and configuring Windows 7 and then reinstalling all my applications.
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]
AW5 – Windows 7 compatibility
September 28, 2009Just thought I'd make a quick post to mention my initial findings for AutoWallpaper 5 and Windows 7.

AutoWallpaper 5 released
September 19, 2009After months of development AutoWallpaper 5 is now available for download. Version 5 is a free upgrade from version 4 so there's no reason to not upgrade. The upgrade process should be smooth and AW5 will use all of the settings and categories you have in AW4. However, if something does go a bit odd… [Read More]

AW5 delayed for 1 week
September 12, 2009One of my other computers has developed a serious hardware fault and I'm having to direct my attention to getting that up and running again. That combined with a potential issue with Mac OS X 10.6 has lead me to dealy the release of AutoWallpaper 5 for another week. If all goes well I will… [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. At present I'm running 10.5.6 so I cannot confirm any issues, however a search on the Apple forums… [Read More]
