Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a way to change the background color under the runonceex window... the default is blue, however i would ideally like to add a wallpaper here - can anyone tell me how to do this?

Any help would be appreciate...

I added a wallpaper using a regtweaks file called by cmdlines.txt. The entry is this:

;Set the default wallpaper

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"Wallpaper"="C:\\Windows\\web\\wallpaper\\crystal.jpg"

"WallpaperStyle"="2"

"TileWallpaper"="0"

Modify it to use whatever wallpaper you wish.

It can be done with AutoIt3.

A sample (Hope you like Bliss.bmp)

; GuiConstants
Global Const $WS_POPUP = 0x80000000

$picture = 'Bliss.bmp'
GUICreate('My Window', @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP)
GUICtrlCreatePic(@WindowsDir & '\Web\Wallpaper\' & $picture, 0, 0, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight)
GUISetState()
Sleep(5000)

Proof of Concept that runs at T-12 for me. On top or not can be done . She can even hide automated installs for me .

So long as you have imagination and willingness to script, then AutoIt can do it.

There is a very nice topic about transparent (!) windows (including RunOnceEx), nice background, high resolution and skinning during classic setup @ T12 and before/after.

I am using it since I started with uA, looks very nice.
