This is the initial windows desktop functionality, and may work. I've added it to the earlier version of DisplayMagician, but I'm not sure I'll release it. This will instead probably be part of v2.0.0.
Can now select a new wallpaper and have it appear in the wallpaper picturebox. Also can reopen the profilesettings and the wallpaper will be loaded back into the picturebox. Just need to sort out the clear button and the use current buttons.
Amazing! This is the first working version of DisplayMagician using the new NVIDIA and Windows CCD library. It works properly, and now I can start to tidy up some of the additioanl functionality I need to sort out before a release. I also then need to work on the AMD library as well!
This is the initial version of the spanned screen bitmap drawing. It woks by showing one giant screen, but it currently doesn't insert any information about the individual screens that make up the spanned screen at all. I'm going to add that improvement at a later date, because the main thing is to get the new libraries up and running, and used by people.
Still have an issue where the 'Equals' doesn't detect that there is a different primary screen, so it won't let me save a new profile for the slightly changed display settings.
NVIDIA Profiles can be created, JSON file saved ok, and the bitmaps and icons are drawn correctly and showin in the Display Profile window. The problem comes when the DisplayProfiles_2.0.json file is loaded. JsonConvert causes an exception trying to populate ProfileBitmap, and I can't figure out why!
This change fixes Steam launch parameter passing.
There is still work to test and/or limit launch parameter
passing to only those libraries that support it. This will
need a bit of work. Fixes#27.
Have managed to get process priority working, but
need to do more testing before I'm sure it works in all
scenarios. I don't have enough different game types to
test the various different code paths, so thats going to
be something that my users will unfortunately need to
bug test. Adds feature #29.
Fixes#25. When you attempted to create a shortcut
that didnt run a game or executable, the program would
save the shortcut, but would crash when trying to show
it in the Shortcut library. This was because the _shortcutBitmap
wsn't being populated when no game or executable was
chosen. This has been fixed now, as it will use the profile bitmap
as the shortcut bitmap in these instances.
Have almost integrated the new CCD, AMD and NVIDIA
libraries into DIsplayMagician. The CCD library is working
fine. The AMD library is partially completed, but is awaiting
some help from AMD, as it appears one of their driver functions
is broken (or at least incorrectly documented). The NVIDIA
library is currently still under development, but I've still copied
it across so that I could work on the additional profile objects
that need to be prepared in order for this to work.
As I am waiting on a response from AMD, the plan is now that
I will swap over to an NVIDIA based video card in my test machines
and I will start work on the NVIDIA library. The NVIDIA library seems
straight forward compared to AMD, so that hopefully won't take too
long to do. Once that library is compete, I'll test it within NVIDIAInfo
application until its working, and then I'll port it back over to
DisplayMagician. That will then let me complete the last bits of the
integration so that I can complete the last of the NVIDIA tests.
Hopefully by the time all this happens I will have heard back from
AMD and I will be able to continue work with that section of code.
Added some basic CCD library functionality
to be able to set Windows displays directly
from the code. This will enable future native
HDR support through windows, as well as
allow positioning and screen setup to work
better through here than via the AMD driver.
Will still need to work on AMD Eyefinity support
once this is completed.
