Desktop Carousel icon Scripting


Desktop Carousel's Applescript support adds the following properties to the Application class: 'picture name', 'picture url', 'picture homepage', 'picture path' and 'changes'. See the Basic Script Examples folder for examples. To install the scripting examples choose the Help > Install Scripts Examples menu.


After Desktop Carousel has downloaded a picture and before it changes the desktop it will execute every compiled Applescript (in alphabetical order) it finds in the ~/Library/Scripts/Desktop Carousel/On Download folder. See the On Download Handlers Examples folder for examples.


Example: How to display desktop pictures in 'black and white' by using the 'Handler ColorSync BlackAndWhite' example script:

  1. Install the scripting examples by choosing the Help > Install Scripts Examples menu. This will also open the Desktop Carousel scripts folder.

    Or, if you have already installed the example scripts, open the Desktop Carousel scripts folder by choosing the Help > Open Scripts folder menu.

  2. Move or copy the Handler ColorSync BlackAndWhite script from the On Download Handlers Examples folder to the On Download folder.
