what's up with vista and pngs?

The issue is that, as of Vista, Windows now supports jpg images as wallpapers. Previously it only supported bmp images. So, whenever you set a wallpaper off the picture viewer or from the wallpaper customization menu it takes whatever image it is, copies it, and creates a new image in the jpg format. It then uses this jpg version as your wallpaper. To get around this you can open the image in IE, or Firefox I think, and choose 'set as wallpaper.' When you do this I believe it resaves the image as a bmp instead of jpg and uses that as the wallpaper. A completely ass-backwards and retarded method, I know, but it seems to be the most effective way without using 3rd party software.

tl;dr Open your image in a web browser, 'set as wallpaper.'

so do any of the wallpaper rotator progs work with vista? and if so do they use a method that screws up pix or keep em at original quality?

If I may chime in. I have a solution to the PNG/vista issue.

Open MS Paint. Open the said PNG file. Click "Save As". Select file output type as JPG. Save. Apply wallpaper. Done.

Just give vista what it wants, and usually higher quality is kept this way.

Question not Vista related...

is the artist that>>197094

No, MS paint uses 20% standard jpeg compression which is the same as what Vista is doing, so this wouldn't work. I did have minimal success opening the file with PSP and saving as a 1% compressed jpeg which resulted in minimal loss in quality, but there was still a loss, and Vista does not read lossless jpegs.

XP supported jpgs as wallpaper as well. It also supported png and gif.

What I'd personally like to know is why Windows still does not have a periodic random wallpaper changer built in. Linux and Mac OS X, both of which get regularly ridiculed by Windows users, managed that years ago.

a wallpaper changer that works for xp, like wallpaper master, will work for vista i believe. xp compatible mode?
