Great! It works properly now but I have one more question, would
anyone know how to get the changes to take effect immediately? Like
some sort of Python way to force the desktop to reload? AFAIK the only
way that'll happen is if I use the Display Properties dialog box. The
Registry value is changed properly, its just I don't think the changes
will take effect until I restart.
Sorry; I missed this one earlier. One way to change the wallpaper
without delving into the registry is the SystemParametersInfo function.
Try the following:
<code>
import win32con
import win32gui
WALLPAPER_BMP = "c:/temp/t.bmp"
win32gui.SystemParametersInfo (
win32con.SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER,
WALLPAPER_BMP,
win32con.SPIF_SENDCHANGE
)
</code>
The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it will survive
a logoff. If it doesn't I suppose you can always combine it
with the registry technique to make it permanent.
