Desktop Live Wallpaper+ Settings Overview

Timeline control and app behavior..

---

The Desktop Live Wallpaper+ app is built as simple as possible, but it has built-in some advanced settings for the user to choose.
Here we discuss them.

The Settings window is accessible from the Timeline Window, from the upper tab menu (marked as #1 in the example screenshot). After each change in order to be applied to the Timeline, you must click on the button "Apply Changes .." button as shown in the #6 of the screenshot below:

In the Photo duration (marked as #2 above), the user is able to choose the default duration in seconds that a Photo will be displayed in the Timeline,  meaning how long each photo will appear before the next one.

We must mention here a general rule that the app follows, at least for this initial version:

• Each photo is displayed for some seconds, based on the user choise.
  
• Each animated gif file is displayed one time only, and lasts so long as the .gif lasts (if you have added an animated gif with loop enabled, this will appear once in the  Timeline.
  
• Each video will be played muted (muted is the default setting for the app, you are able to change it) and once. For example if it lasts two minutes, then after it ends the Timeline will show the next media item.

Turning Video Sound On or Off

The "Video Sound" setting (marked as #4 in the screenshot) if set to On plays the videos in the Timeline with sound. The default value is Off in order not to mix the sound of the Desktop playback videos with any other app the user opens (e.g. YouTube in a browser, etc).

AutoStart:

We have already describe in the Usage page of this tutorial, the Desktop Live Wallpaper+ app has an autostart feature, that the user can switch On/Off here (marked as #5 in the screenshot). The default value is On. If you set this option to On, after each Windows logon, the application will auto-start and the Timeline will be played in the Desktop, without the need to manually start it. If you prefer to start the app only when you want to, then set it to Off.

The "Show Timeline on Startup" setting (marked as #1 red in the next screenshot) can be found on the Timeline Window. 
if set to Yes, then on the Windows logon, the Timeline Window will be displayed, otherwise not. This doesn't affect the Timeline Player that can be accessed always from the Taskbar icon. The default value is Yes.
