Windows 10 and Python: Change Wallpaper fill background color and make the wallpaper centered
Comment
1 / 1
To change the wallpaper, fill the background color, and make the wallpaper centered in Windows 10 using Python, you can utilize the ctypes
module to call the Windows API functions. Here's an example code that demonstrates this:
pythonimport ctypes
SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER = 20
SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE = 0x01
SPIF_SENDCHANGE = 0x02
def change_wallpaper(image_path, background_color, center_wallpaper):
# Set the wallpaper
ctypes.windll.user32.SystemParametersInfoW(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, image_path, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE)
# Set the background color
ctypes.windll.user32.SetSysColors(1, ctypes.byref(ctypes.c_int(1)), background_color)
# Set the wallpaper style
if center_wallpaper:
style = 0x02 # Centered
else:
style = 0x00 # Tiled
ctypes.windll.user32.SystemParametersInfoW(0x0014, 0, style, 0x02)
# Example usage
image_path = r"C:\Path\To\Your\Image.jpg"
background_color = 0x00FF00 # Green color, you can specify your own color
center_wallpaper = True # Set to True for centered wallpaper, False for tiled wallpaper
change_wallpaper(image_path, background_color, center_wallpaper)
Make sure to replace image_path
with the actual path to your image file. You can specify the background_color
as an RGB color value (e.g., 0xRRGGBB
). Set center_wallpaper
to True
for a centered wallpaper, or False
for a tiled wallpaper.
Note that changing the wallpaper requires administrative privileges. Make sure to run the Python script with appropriate permissions.
