• Background Changing Application: Version 2.6.3.6 Released

  Windows Program : This program randomly selects an image file from locations given by the user, and sets that image file as the background. This program attempts to figure out the best way to set the image file. Version 2.6.3.6 Changes(3/10/2008) - ADDED an option to fill the center-tiling offset spaces by stretching the image a bit... but as I thought... without a good resizing filter, the images look like crap... Well... some images are ok looking, without any noticeable jaggedness, but most do... I'll leave this option here in case I get a better resizing filter later on. - ADDED code to really scale small images. Somehow... that bit of code was missing?... probably I never really thought about it much and didn't write it so now I have written it. ^-^ - ADDED code clause to make the image be stretched if the image size ratio is equal or similar to the screen aspect ratio. - CHANGED the checkbox sizes since it would not show all of it when the program was running, even though in the resource editor it would show all of it. - CHANGED Screen Ratio Calculation. It now actually calculates the screen ratio given screen width and screen height. Before, I hadn't had the need to do it since I was using a 4:3 screen ratio... and then some files were at 5:4 screen ratio so I thought that was all... until I got my new laptop... 16:10... -_- Oh well... now it calculates the ratio and now it seems that the centering calculation got fixed by this. ^-^ - CHANGED the default location pick chance from 0 to 100. Now, it's set to 100% by default. ^-^ - CHANGED the GetRandomNumber a bit... just made it return 0 if the MaxLimit number was less than 0. - FIXED Incorrect Tiling offset code. The original idea was that if Windows considered the image to be fit for tiling across the screen, then my app would see if it could tile it a bit better in a neat way, but there are some images that my app would tile, but Windows would not consider them to be fit for tiling, thus my app would not calculate the offset right, which ended up not including the offset when center-tiling some images. Now, that's fixed. All I did really, was to remove the dependency check for whether Windows wants to tile the image or not. So now it doesn't matter whether Windows wants to tile the image or not, my app will calculate whether it is fit for tiling by itself. lol~ ^-^ - FIXED Previous List code. It was giving me errors at times when the list was full, so I fixed it... hopefully it works alright now. ^-^

  Version 2.5.1.3 Changes(9/21/2007) - ADDED Disable Error Messages flag. Actually, it would be more like disable any and all messages altogether except for init errors... It came as a request through the feature request tracker in Sourceforge. *^~^* iya~~~ to think that somebody would ask for a feature for my little program~~~ I'm so happy~~ ^-^. Anyways, the person who requested it needed for the program to fail "silently". Could have always used the MessageBox class (Show Debug Info = On) since that message box is modeless, oh well. Now, it doesn't run AfxMessageBox for errors that need to be shown but Show Debug Info is off. The only exception for this is the code that is run in InitDialog and the constructor of the main app. Since that code is not run more than once... I didn't make it hide the message boxes. Well, enjoy~ ^-^ and hope it works well. (It's not as if there are errors all the time, so there's a limit to how well I can test it...) - FIXED count images code. It was trying to show the MessageBox's OK button when there was no message box in view. Must have happened when I was using search/replace to add the bLogDebugInfo into the program. Oh well, it's fixed now. ^-^ - UPDATED the lodePNG library. The author of it got into contact with me! I was so~ amazed. lol. I want my program to be better, and he wants his library to be better. ^-^ We are currently trying to figure out why it crashes with Optimizations enabled. In the mean time, he uploaded a newer version of the library so I went to get it. It does things faster than before. ^-^ - FIXED Manual Location bug. If there was an error (no valid images in location), even if the m_bPlaceStick flag was off, the thing would stick, so I moved the resetting code a scope upwards and now it works. ^-^
