Interval=number of milliseconds | Required. Interval is a number that determines how often the background changes. It is measured in milliseconds. |
Shuffle=0 or 1 | Required. Shuffle identifies whether the background shuffles. 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled |
RSSFeed=URL to RSS feed | Required if ImagesRootPath is not specified. RSSFeed specifies an RSS feed to use as the background slide show. For the feed to work, you need to reference high-resolution images adhering to the 'enclosures' standard used by the Windows RSS Platform. Because of this limitation, .theme files that include an RSS feed must be created manually. [!Note] |
ImagesRootPath=path to image folder | Required if RSSFeed is not specified. ImagesRootPath specifies a path to a set of images you want to use as the background slide show. Images in subfolders are not included in the slide show. ImagesRootPath supports Environment Variable substitutions in the path. [!Note] |
ItemNPath=path(s) to specific image(s) | For use with ImagesRootPath. ItemNPath specifies paths to specific images, so that you can limit the slide show to particular images instead of all images in a folder. If no paths are specified, all images in the ImagesRootPath path are used in the slide show, including images added after creating and installing the theme. ItemNPath supports Environment Variable substitutions in the path. N is 0, 1, 2, and so on. |
