Text Editor
(Not available in the Lite version)
On a few places, Wallpaper Cycler will show you the following
text editor window.
The buttons in the toolbar are self-explanatory. The
F-button will allow you to change the font of the selected
text. The last button allows you to add commands to your
text. The following commands are available:
- Wallpaper Name: Will be replaced with the name of the
current wallpaper.
- Category Name: Will be replaced with the name of the
category that contains the current wallpaper.
- User Name: Will be replaced with the user name of the
user currently logged into Windows.
- Computer Name: Will be replaced with the name of your
computer.
- IP Address: Will be replaced with your current IP
Address.
- Quote: Will be replaced with a random quote from the
selected quote file. The quote command accepts a parameter as
follows: %quote:xxxx% where
xxxx is the name of your quote file.
- Quote-author: Will be replaced with the author of the
random quote above. The quote-author command accepts a parameter as
follows: %quoteauthor:xxxx%
where xxxx is the name of your quote file, which would normally be
the same file as for the %quote:xxxx% command above.
- Notes: Will be replaced with the notes that you've
specified with the notes
editor.
- Date: Will be replaced with the current date. The date
command accepts a parameter as follows: %date:xxxx% where xxxx is the format of the
date. Learn more about the date
format.
- Time: Will be replaced with the current time. The time
command accepts a parameter as follows: %time:xxxx% where xxxx is the format of the
time. Learn more about the time
format.
- Feeds: Will be replaced with parts of a news feed or
feeditem. Learn more about feeds. The
feeds command accepts several parameters as follows: %feeditem:x;x;xx% or %feed:x;xx%. Learn more about these parameters.
Note: All text commands
are static, meaning that the Time command will not create a running
clock on your desktop. Instead, the Time command could be used to
display the time when the last webcam image on your desktop was
rendered.
|
You can use HTML formatting in your text. Learn more about HTML formatting.
The date format string can consist of the letters in the
following table. If you use spaces to separate the elements in the
format string, these spaces will appear in the same location in the
resulting date string. The letters must be in uppercase or
lowercase as shown in the table (for example, "MM" not "mm").
Characters in the format string that are enclosed in single
quotation marks will appear unchanged in the same location in the
resulting date string.

Color Table
Colors can be specified in HTML in two ways—by using a color
name, or by using numbers to denote an RGB color value. An RGB
color value consists of three two-digit hexadecimal numbers
specifying the intensity of the corresponding color.
For example, the color value #FF0000 is rendered red because the
red number is set to its highest value, FF (or 255 in decimal
form).
