(SUCCESS!) Automatic Wallpaper Change for Multiple Virtual Desktops

[JohnRenzFlores]

UPDATED:

I have created a 2.0 folder where the task now only involves one (Auto Light/Dark Task), instead of two (Day Task and Night Task) The 2.0 folder is located at the same link here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qc7Fw2nJTCGJfJC3t4q5zQcPhc0pc3S_?usp=sharing.

I have finally created a PowerShell script that automatically changes all the wallpapers across multiple virtual desktops, and I wanted to share it with the community, especially with the creator of this vital software. I hope the creator notices this and implements it in the next versions.

This is basically a simple change that aligns with the purpose of the software itself: to change your desktop theme automatically day/night uniformly across multiple virtual desktops.

The link to the instructions doc and the script file is here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Qc7Fw2nJTCGJfJC3t4q5zQcPhc0pc3S_?usp=sharing

Please let me know if you have trouble accessing the link or have any further questions.

That's really nice. Thank you very much. Also thank you very much for creating the instructions, so we can check an implementation for Auto Dark Mode.
It seems like there are still some problems. Especially: Step 5: (Important) Reset your desktops to a uniform wallpaper first. That's something we actually can't easily expect from the users to do before using ADM.

Anyway, I implemented only one task now (Auto), instead of two tasks (Day and Night).

I placed the new script file and the instructions in the 2.0 folder.

For Step 5, it's just a one-time setup to test if the fix clears out the old per-desktop wallpaper assignments that were causing the odd/even desktop bug I had on the earlier script.

It's only relevant in the guide because: (1) Someone else following this guide for the first time, who has also previously assigned different wallpapers per desktop manually (like I originally did), would hit the same odd/even flicker bug I did — and Step 5 is what fixes that for them. (2) If someone's never manually assigned per-desktop wallpapers before, they can likely skip it entirely.
