Hi!

I already have things setup that when AutoCAD runs, the wallpaper changes stop. But is there a way for a specific wallpaper to be turned on when AutoCAD runs orhave the wallpaper turn off completely and just be a black desktop?

AutoCAD has a black background and if it starts when there is a bright wallpaper showing on the second monitor, the contrast can be quite jarring. It would be nice to have a black background on all 3 monitors when AutoCAD is running, but then turn the regular desktop wallpaper slideshow back on once AutoCAD closes.

Is this even possible?

You can do that with a couple triggers and wallpaper profiles.

Create two wallpaper profiles: a normal one with the usual rotating wallpapers, and one with just a black background.

Create a trigger, event "Process created", in "Process filename" point to the AutoCAD executable, in actions pick "Run Function", and in the function list find "Load Wallpaper Profile: <name or your black wallpaper profile>".

Now create another trigger, but with the "Process ended" event to do the opposite and load the rotating wallpaper profile when AutoCAD closes.

Thanks that's what I did but I had to modify the process ended routine a little bit. Sometimes I will run multiple instances of AutoCAD, so I didn't want it restarting the wallpaper when only one of them closes. So I wrote a script that checks if AutoCAD is still running and if it is then it stay on the blank profile and if it's not, then it turns the slideshow back on.
