Hi.
I was thinking of doing a script that changed the background of my computer everyday to a picture from a website. The website i was thinking of also changes its picture every day, so the picture would be at the same location(coordinates) at the website. My only doubt wa wether or not this could be done "hidden" so that you woulnd't have to see the program opening op the website to copy the picture.
Is this possible? |

Try doing a search for wallpaper or wallpaper changer. There are a few scripts here in the forum that do something similar to what you are looking for. Maybe they can help you out.

Thanks for your answers.
The website i was thinking of is http://politiken.dk/wm/
My problem is figuring out how to get it to download that picture, since i cannot get a direct url on it and there's other pictures aswell. |

| Code: | URLDownloadToFile, http://politiken.dk/wm/, today.htm
FileRead, fHTML, today.htm
RegExMatch(fHTML, "U)http://multimedia.pol.dk/archive/.*jpg", sWallpaperUrl)
MsgBox %sWallpaperUrl% |
You can then URLDownloadToFile the wallpaper and take it from there

Hi.
I've run into a minor problem. The background changes every time i turn on the computer like i wanted, but if the computer goes standby (and so logs out of windows) it changes the background back to whatever it was before it was changed.
Anyone know whats causing?
