Post by Dynamite »

Hello everyone.
I would like, if possible, to have these functions and options in this new generation of Wallpaper SS (5.x).

-Import / Export settings.
-Reset to Default settings.
-Spanish (and other more) translation.
-Dark Mode (for the settings window).
-Fit to height (and cut width).
-Fit to width (and cut height).

Greetings! Thanks!

Hello,
- Import/export: open WallpaperSS settings, click on Commands, the last two items are import/export
- reset: Not currently implemented. If you really need to reset just delete settings file located in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\WallpaperSSPro
- Translations: too expensive and hard to maintain
- Dark mode: in windows there is currently no support for dark mode in native win32 programs
- fit width/fit height: i will consider the suggestion but i think there is little point in implementing these options as is

What a pity to know about that. Currently an interface with that feature has become very common along with Windows.

Seeing that you have released a new Upgrade (version 6) and 4 years have passed, before making the purchase: do you plan to add a dark mode to the interface?

Wallpaper Slideshow is a native C++ Win32 Windows program. Dark mode is a known and rather frustrating issue because the operating system lacks dark mode support for Win32 apps. Win32 is the legacy programming API used by most native programs.
Currently, there are no libraries that can be used to implement a dark mode for Win32 programs. The situation is the same as it was four years ago.
