if we can get this onto a compiler and hit F5
we would have matched if not surpassed the Windows 7 Ultimate's Background Changer thus totally pawning Windows Starter

 

ill talk about it with the author. he uses C# and i use VB so yea might have issues in communication.

not at all as you have seen i posted that i have a VB conversion of your application if anyone wants to mess with it, i was only stating im not all that good with C#. sorry if i sound like i was being mean all my custom controls are in VB and conversion to C# may prove difficult... (ive tried but didnt work all to well) thats what i meant by the communications thing

 

its good for being your first app

i have a custom treeview that works the same way the thingy vladxed666 was talking about.

 

Explorer Option Tree View...

Code:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class ThumbnailImageCreation : Form
{
    public ThumbnailImageCreation()
    {
        this.SuspendLayout();

        this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
        this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
        this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(299, 273);
        this.Text = "VladXed666";
        this.Paint += new System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventHandler(this.ThumbnailImageCreation_Paint);
        this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.ThumbnailImageCreation_Load);
        this.ResumeLayout(false);

    }

    Image thumbnail;

    private void ThumbnailImageCreation_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Image img = Image.FromFile("VladXed666.jpg");
        
        int thumbnailWidth = 200, thumbnailHeight = 100;

        thumbnail = img.GetThumbnailImage(thumbnailWidth, thumbnailHeight,
          null, IntPtr.Zero);
        
    }

    private void ThumbnailImageCreation_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(thumbnail, 10, 10);
    }
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new ThumbnailImageCreation());
    }
}

I Think That Might be it... as for the choose background color just use a static image and put a transparent hyperlink over it

im currently working on how to get it to remember the directories and stuff

p.s. I i have never done C#
