Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Wallpaper Associated to Profile

Is there functionality built into UltraMon to associate a wallpaper with a specific display profile?

I'd like to be able to have one wallpaper for instance in a "Desk" profile setting where when I'm at my desk with my laptop, where I have a 22" LCD and my Laptop Screen side by side. But then be able to switch to "Mobile" where a totally different wallpaper is assigned for when I leave my desk with the laptop and head to a meeting or other location -- this for instance might be a company branded wallpaper more official and my standard desk one can be more custom and they automatically switch depending on the profile I'm using.

Currently this does not happen, if I have a dual monitor wallpaper setup it shows one of the two wallpapers or shows a cropped or stretched version depending on the settings.

If anyone could help me get the setting correct if they exist, or I'd like to recommend a feature like this for a future edition.

Thanks.

Nathan

There's no built-in support for this, but you could do this with the ApplyProfileAndWallpaperDockedUndocked script.

Thanks Christian -- this looks like what I need, except that my current setup doesn't involve a docking station and disconnecting the monitor doesn't seem to trigger the switch. I generally have to toggle profiles by right clicking on the UltraMon icon and choosing my Mobile profile.

I'll have a look through the list of scripts, maybe there is one that does the switch of Display and Wallpaper profile together, that would probably solve my problem if I could create two shortcuts "desktop" and "mobile" to make the change.

I wasn't aware of the various scripts, thanks for pointing those out.

The easiest way to do this manually would be to create two batch files which load the desired display profile and wallpaper, see this thread for details.
