This page deals with some of the more common settings you might want to change and are detailed below:
- Start automatically when starting Windows - if this is checked (which is the default) then JBS will automatically run when you log into Windows. Uncheck it and you launch JBS manually instead.
- On start-up change the background then exit - if this option is enabled in conjunction with 'Start automatically when starting Windows' then when you log onto your machine JBS will start, change the background once and exit, thereby not sitting in the background hogging memory.
- Show picture info on the top-right corner of the screen - puts the title and photographer in the top-right of the desktop when the information is present. You can click the 'Font' button and choose the font, size and style of the font to display - so if you like Comic Sans then you're all good!
- Show the picture's date if available - if JBS can figure out the picture's date, it'll show it.
- Picture orientation - Here you can choose if you want to use portrait and landscape pictures, landscape-orientated pictures only or portrait-orientated pictures only.
- Draw a calendar on the desktop - this means you can have a standard month (or 3 month) calendar drawn on the primary screen. You can choose the location, type and whether you want the week to start on Monday or Sunday here and that's about all there is to it - handy if you want to know what day of the week the 25th is! Also, you can click the 'Font' button to customise the font JBS uses to draw the calendar.
- Enable shortcuts - for those who like using their keyboards (be advised that when you hit a shortcut during normal operation it can take a couple of seconds before they take effect).
- Fade background transitions - if you're running Windows Vista and above you can choose this option and instead of the background changing sharply, the old one will fade out and the new one fade in. Smooth!
- Set the Windows logon screen background - if you're running Windows 7 this option will let you override the logon screen (the one you see when you log in or lock your machine). So whichever image you seen on your primary screen will also appear on the logon screen. Disabling this option will revert it to the Windows default image.
