[APP][14 Oct 2008]AutomaticWallpaperChanger (following the time of the day)

[gorrunwe]

It looks like this :

Todo list :

• Clean uninstall : the black wallpaper should be set at this step
• Spb compatibility
• Expand the features of the scheduler :
  • use years, months, days, days of the week, hours, minutes and seconds
  • schedule the pictures activation through an intuitive interface
• And maybe other things ? (If you have ideas, tell me)

Update :

V0.50 :

• The concept of "Pictures set" is totally implemented : when you install or reinstall AutomaticWallpaperChanger, you will have to choose one (that is to say apply the wallpapers you want)

V0.35 :

• The archive can be extracted everywhere (and not only in directories such as "Storage card", "Carte de stockage" and so on). Thanks to Suiller for his work !

V0.32 :

• Dutch storage card names are supported !
• Smart pictures managment :
  • Search for "xx.jpg" pictures in your <Storage card root directory>/AutomaticWallpaperChanger (xx are numbers from 00 to 23)
  • If the script is launched at a time there is not picture for, then it will set the previous picture as wallpaper (e.g : if launch at 8:30 am but there are only 03.jpg, 06.jpg and 09.jpg, then 06.jpg will be set as wallpaper)
  • During an execution, the script will scan your pictures directory, find the next picture he will have to set as wallpaper and set a task at the corresponding time (e.g : with the 03.jpg, 06.jpg and 09.jpg pictures, if it is 6:46 am, then the next launch will be at 9:00)
• Bug fixes about the install/reinstall features

V0.2 :

• addition of an install/uninstall feature (thanks to Suiller !)
• update of the install instructions (see below)

To install it :

1. Mortscript 4.1 or 4.11b must be installed on your ppc
2. Extract the archive and eventually put your own "xx.jpg" pictures (where xx is between 00 and 23) in a directory which is inside the created AutomaticWallpaperChanger\Pictures directory (at the beginning there is only the Moon pictures set inside of it)
   
3. then launch the AutomaticWallpaperChanger.mscr file (select the "Reinstall" option if you have used an older version).

To uninstall it :

1. Simply launch the AutomaticWallpaperChanger.mscr file and select the "Uninstall" option.

Hey If you could tell me where you got the moon images, then maybe I could get the sun version. Do you think it would would be possible to write a script that allows for the seasons to be included as well. I wouldn't mind helping in this matter, you'd have to give me some pointer in writing a mort script let me know if that sounds like anything you'd want to do? Cheers 12

[gorrunwe]

At the present version, my script only uses the hour number to change the wallpaper.
However, it is possible to use all the data that are linked to time, that is to say year, month, day, hour, minute, second. So a season changing wallpaper script is possible.

Better : combinate several phenomenons is possible, such as hour and month, so that we could display situations such as "8:00 am during summer" or "2:00 pm during autumn".

I can do all these things but i need pictures : the best would be pictures of the same place taken at different time of the day and at different seasons.

I can see how it's easier to write a script that way, but the problem will be the pictures. It would be easier picture wise if we'd be able to use two different sets somehow. I will do some searching, I'll let you know if I find some decent pictures. Where did you get the moon? you didn't shoot them yourself did you? Cheers

Hi friend like told you before you had a very nice idea, so I completed a concurrent script (here attached) just to integrate your genius

I modified some things, because for ex. I don't use AS & when I plug my phone the script isn't more able to find images in Internal Storage or whatever, so it copies automatically from a masterdir to a dir in internal memory.

Then I've added some checks just to be sure that dirs are in the right place & I've added also the function itself to install/uninstall/reinstall, without the need to have another script to disable the queue and delete the file under startup.

And for finish I've optimized the script to be fastest possible by don't executing unneed/repetitive code.

If you wish take inspiration by my code to make things (I hope) better.

ps: the zip file must be exploded under your "internal storage" / "storage card", inside there is also the script

Bye,
Davide

HELLO

thx for the app now its changing the wallpaper .. but still i get the error on every soft reset i dont know why ! even if i disable the app it keeps showing up..

suiller, thx for the idea of installing the program its great i loved it .. but it does not work nothing changes in the back ground ..


THANK YOU

[badrey]

ok i removed the error by my self just now lol .. and gorrunwe's script works PERFECT ..

only if you can add your script into suiller installation .. it will be awesome

thx for your hard work .. and for creating my idea and make it true iii lovee it

[suiller]

found the error, I forgot a slash

thx for testing it

here below the corrected version and as you can see the package is smaller because I've optimized jpegs with JDO tool, so they are smaller & busy less ram

bye,
davide

ps: I was thinking also that could be nice to have the full day/night transition... like a scenery that changes from day to night & vice-versa I dunno where to find all the images for the full sequence
