### What’s new: • Don’t forget to checkout Lively’s reddit page for more animated Wallpapers: https://www.reddit.com/r/LivelyWallpaper/ • New Performance setting: Pause wallpaper when on battery power (Laptops/UPS.) (Web wallpapers will look blank when paused, this is a known limitation that will be addressed in future update.) • Span wallpaper playback behavior change: 1. Only Pause Wallpaper if foreground application is stretched across all displays when “Per Display” display rule is selected under Performance settings. 2. Pause wallpaper if foreground application is maximized in any monitor when “All Display(s)” is selected. • (Web) New dropdown control for web interaction, “Folder Dropdown” Automatically populates the dropdown menu based on the folder contents. Learn more: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/wiki/Web-Guide-IV-:-Interaction • (Web) “Restore to Default” option for customisable wallpapers, restores wallpaper properties to original value (Existing wallpapers from pre v0.9 will restore to last saved value) • (Web) ColorDialog default color will be previously selected color. • Turned off Deferred Scrolling for Library list (wallpaper tile preview as you scroll.) • Some UI changes/tweaks. ### Fixes: • (Web) Fixed several issues with customisable web wallpapers on multiple monitor systems: #23 • Wallpaper file checking is skipped during library loading in-order to stop disk power-on/activity each time lively is launched from tray (when wallpapers is on separate drive.) • Windows 7 wallpaper disappearing fix (still not officially supported by me, just update your system people *_*) ### Important Notice: • Auto update might fail due to smartscreen filter, the setup is downloaded to “Documents/Lively Wallpaper/tmpdata/update.exe”

Currently property values of web wallpaper customisation paramters are stored in the LivelyProperties.json file in the parent wallpaper folder.
If more than one instance of the wallpaper is run (in multiple screen system) simultaneously, the latest value is stored discarding the other wallpaper instance's value.
Solution:
What I'm thinking of doing is making a copy of the LivelyProperties.json file:
Parent wallpaper foldername is unique since its randomly generated when wallpapers are installed.
Display device name can change due to driver install etc, but its very rare.
This also means I can provide a Restore To Default button to restore values to default by replacing the properties files with the original.
