Problem
The desktop image must be changed
Solution
Use a low-level Windows hook to set the background
Sample Code
(:source lang=C#:)[DllImport("user32")] static extern bool SystemParametersInfo(int uiAction, int uiParam, string pvParam, bool fWinIni); const int SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER = 0x14; // in code // ensure fileName is a bitmap (of the format ImageFormat.Bmp) SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, fileName, true);
