Logon Screen Rotator: Nearing the next release!

May 7th, 2010 by Luke

We are almost there, thanks for your patience!

Pictured above is the most current build I have compiled. At this stage the UI needs a bit more tweaking and I need to add in a few more things for full Windows XP support then it’s release time!

I have scraped the old code completely, which is good for you and VERY good for me. The old code base was whipped together while I was having a play around with VB .NET and then built upon as I got requests. The code was fairly shoddy, but it worked. I am now working on Logon Screen Rotator with C#.

A few new things (from what I can remember, so much as changed):

  • The Wallpaper can now be changed as well. To either the same as the logon screen, or selected randomly.
  • Loading and adding images now run in a separate thread so they don’t lock up the UI, if you load it frequently this will be great.
  • The application is faster and more snappy overall.
  • Various other issues about certain images not working have now been fixed.
  • An install wizard is now being used.
  • Windows x64 support.
  • Add multiple individual images at one time.
  • Windows Vista and XP support!

All going well, I should have this out within a week, I’ll keep you posted.

If you happen to have any last minute suggestions, feel free to either comment here or email me. (You can grab my email address for the about page)
