My background changes every 5 minutes thanks to a little program I wrote. I have quite a few backgrounds that it cycles through, but occasionally she does appear there...

I wrote this program. It does a few other things I can program out. Then I'll give it to you.

Don't you have style XP? You could just create the same style with a diffrent background for all the back grounds. Add all those styles to a rotate schedule of 30 mins.

All I have todo to make my destop change [pictures] is put all the pictures I want into an animation, and make it my destop so I didn't have to write or program anything.

Style XP will only do it daily or at log in. ALso I have yet to fingure out how it chooses which back ground I can rotate though. I put all the background I like in the My picture folder and only one of them appears in that list I can us (this same back ground happens to be one I have saved on a theme 2). But when I uses the display setting all of those backgrounds are there as a choose.

Well okay you can't rotate every 30 mins but to answer your other question:

You have to select the style you want and click the include button.

See the screen shot below.

I know how you do that Phase. What I was talking about was the back grounds that I want to use are not in the list of ones I can rotate.

You make new styles. Just take the ones that are there and copy them with diffrent backgrounds.

Or, timeless, you can convert all your backgrounds to bitmap images and put copies of each of them in the folder "C:\Cycled Backgrounds" and I'll have the background cycler for you in a few days.

If I am at my computer I am doing something... so I don't even see my desktop. I just see it when I'm getting up from my computer and sitting down to it.
:D
