The customer wanted to update on regular base the wallpaper in order to communicate critical information and guidance to their users. The Desktop Wallpaper was centrally managed and distributed to users through group policies. This customer decided to use Desktop wallpaper as communication medium in order to distribute information, recommendations or instructions to be followed during COVID-19 Crisis while working at company premises. We have been asked by a customer to find a way to quickly update the Desktop Wallpaper. The idea of this post comes from a real case scenario. Microsoft has already enabled theme aware live tiles in the Windows 10 Start Menu and the feature is now heading to splash screen of your favourite apps.This post is investigating the possibility to refresh a desktop wallpaper without the need of a logoff/logon operation. In a future release, modern apps will match the system theme (dark or light), which should make the apps launching experience itself look much cleaner and consistent when using light or dark mode. For example, you will notice the new theme-aware splash screen when launching Microsoft Store, Groove Music, Settings, etc.Ĭurrently, the splash screen focuses on Windows 10’s accent colour with the logo of the app in the center, but that will change soon.
Windows 10 is getting support for the theme aware splash screen that will appear when a UWP program is launching. This will allow you to have a Bing images slideshow going on your desktop and it works automatically.Ĭurrently, the feature is not working in the preview builds, but Microsoft is expected to enable it sometime later this year. You’ll be able to enable Spotlight feature by heading to Settings > Personalization > Background and selecting “Spotlight Collection” in the “Background” drop-down menu, as shown in the screenshot above. This feature is currently exclusive to lock screen, but it’s finally coming to your desktop. In a future release of Windows 10, Microsoft is introducing support for ‘Desktop Spotlight’, which is a feature that would display Bing’s gorgeous images as a slideshow. You can dive into your Windows 10 personalization settings to set a custom image, but the process for creating your own slideshow is still time-consuming as you need to choose photos manually.
