How to Make Wallpaper Packs for Desktop Calendar

I've tried to make this process as simple as possible. If you have any questions then as always please e-mail me. Have fun.

 

Step 1

Download DC Creator Wizard.

 

Step 2

Prepare you Wallpaper images. Make them the right size etc. then save them as Jpeg's. For this you will need some sort of graphics application. I personally use Paint Shop Pro but there are many alternatives out there, some of which are freeware.

 

Step 3

Start DC Creator Wizard and follow the instructions through step by step. This will involve loading a picture for each month and selecting options...

  • Display Mode - This is how you want the Wallpaper to be displayed eg. Stretch, Center or Tile.

  • Box Style - This is how you want the calendar boxes to look for that month. eg. Square or Rectangle. It's best if you've actually used Desktop Calendar to know what this means. 

  • Calendar Position - This is where you want the calendar to appear on the screen for that month.

Once you've finished you will have a directory called the same name as you chose for the Wallpaper Pack. In that directory will be 12 image files numbered (1-12) and a file called "settings.ini" that holds all the information about your pack.

 

Step 4

Now if it isn't already that folder needs to be in the Desktop Calendar directory otherwise DC won't find it. If it is then great....you've finished.

 

Step 5 (optional)

If you think your Wallpaper Pack is pretty cool then why not share it? If you send it to me I'll make a installation file for it and post it on the website. I'll of course give you full credit or I can keep it anonymous, it's up to you.

To send me the pack simple Zip up (compress) the folder containing your 12 images and the "settings.ini" file and then you can either e-mail it to me or if possible could you upload somewhere and then just e-mail me the link. That way I can download it more conveniently. Thank you and happy pack making. :)
