[BUG] !SetWallpaper and .png files

[KreAch3R]

On the latest beta I'm having trouble setting a .png file as wallpaper with !SetWallpaper !bang. I downloaded and used jsmorley's skin, to eliminate any mistakes in my code (which is working for .jpg).

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

Inside "walls" folder there is only one .png file (I tried 3 different) and is displayed correctly. Does anyone else have this problem or is it a bug?

It appears that Windows does not like using png files as wallpaper. Windows itself is supposed to convert them to jpeg before setting the wallpaper.

[KreAch3R]

Aha. I didn't know that. I read in the description that I found about !SetWallpaper that it supports .png files. Was it a small mistake in the description or it will be implemented, just not yet?

This has to be some kind of bug in the bang. Windows is fine with .png as a wallpaper.

This issue has been fixed for the next beta on Sunday.
