bsetroot is a command line wallpaper changer that might be interesting for some as it offers a lot more than Rainmeter's own !SetWallpaper bang.
with it you can not only switch the wallpaper, but also apply different types of gradients and most importantly combine gradients with images.
for example:
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\bsetroot-2.1\bsetroot.exe" -full "D:\pictures\wallpapers\wave.jpg" -hue 80 -sat 0 -gradient pipecrossinterlacedgradient -from steelblue -to limegreen
it's available here: http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/bblean/bbsr.htm
docs: http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/bblean/docs/bsetroot.htm
and i would love gradient types like "crossdiagonal", "pipecross", "elliptic", "rectangle", or "pyramid" in Rainmeter.
