В Windows 10 наконец-то появилась функция рабочего стола, которую все хотели

Windows Spotlight – довольно интересная функция, которая позволяет пользователям автоматически менять обои экрана блокировки на своих устройствах с Windows 10, используя высококачественные фоны, предоставляемые Bing.

И само собой разумеется, учитывая, что это помогает сохранить свежесть экрана блокировки, и все с довольно красивыми обоями, многие люди задавались вопросом, почему Microsoft никогда не думала, что это будет отличным дополнением к арсеналу функций рабочего стола.

По какой-то причине Microsoft не думала, что это того стоит, поэтому большинству людей просто пришлось обратиться к другим способам сделать все это, включая сторонние средства смены обоев или просто создание собственной коллекции фотографий, а затем использование Windows 10 для автоматического переключения.

Windows: интересное на рабочем столе

Но, как оказалось, Microsoft наконец-то работает над переносом Windows Spotlight на рабочий стол.

Последняя предварительная сборка Windows 10 поставляется с этой функцией, хотя на данный момент она не активирована. Пользователю Albacore удалось запустить его, и, как вы можете видеть на этом скриншоте выше, эту функцию можно включить прямо на экране Параметров в фоновых настройках.

После активации Windows Spotlight автоматически загружает обои дня Bing и устанавливает их в качестве нового фона рабочего стола, работая так, как вы ожидаете.

На данный момент еще не ясно, когда Microsoft планирует предоставить эту функцию пользователям, но следующее обновление функции Windows 10, по прогнозам, появится весной этого года в виде небольшого пакета улучшений. Крупный релиз запланирован на осень этого года.

Spotlight — набор обоев от «Windows: интересное»

Spotlight — это набор фоновых изображений для рабочего стола, начального экрана и экрана блокировки, отобранных из коллекции сервиса «Windows: интересное», доступного пользователям Windows 10. В набор вошло 50 изображений, каждое из которых предлагается в двух версиях: для персональных компьютеров и смартфонов (в вертикальной ориентации).

Как обычно выше предложено лишь несколько обоев для примера, весь набор в исходном качестве в целях экономии вашего времени и трафика доступен в архиве по ссылке ниже.

Download Windows 10 Spotlight Wallpapers with SpotBright App

Windows 10 Spotlight features some really beautiful pictures, and a lot of you surely want to download one of them, and use it as your desktop wallpaper. Well, that is now possible, with a free Windows 10 app, SpotBright. This useful tool works well on both Windows 10 PCs and Windows 10 Mobile handsets, so you can save your favorite spotlight pictures across all your Windows 10 devices.

SpotBright is very easy to use, you can simply hit Fast Search, and the app will find all the available pictures, so you can download them all at once. If you want to find even more wallpapers, just hit In-depth search, and the app will offer you even more images.

Since the app works on both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile, all pictures will be downloaded in both portrait and landscape mode. Unfortunately, you can’t choose what images you want do download, or download the single wallpaper, as you’ll have to download all at once.

But since the overall download doesn’t take more than 200MB, that shouldn’t be a problem, since you always can save your pictures to the cloud. However, you can change the download location, if you don’t have enough space on your default location.

The app is very simple in design, and features a fancy UI, and it was published by T. Partl. The developer notes that he hasn’t extensively tested the app worldwide, so it could break, but we were using it, and it worked like a charm. He also promised us some updates in the future, including “Live Tile or wallpaper/lockscreen picture rotation.”

It is really great to see developers getting involved into developing apps like these, and tackling highly requested features. The app is available in the Windows Store, and you can download it for free.

How to Save Windows 10 Spotlight Lock Screen Pictures

Windows 10 includes a limited collection of desktop backgrounds to choose. And, the Windows Spotlight feature, previously limited to Windows 10 Home, became available in the Pro edition via the November Update.

It provides a travel log of stunning background images taken from around the world on your Lock Screen. Many of these are desktop worthy, too. Here’s how you can find and collect those pictures.

Find Windows Spotlight Lock Screen Pictures

Windows Spotlight Images are not stored in the most obvious of places. First, open your user folder, press Windows key + R then type: %userprofile% and hit Enter.

When File Explorer opens up, you’ll need to turn on Show hidden files and folders. Click the View tab then check the box: Hidden items within the Show/Hide group.

The AppData folder will now appear in your User folder. Open it then navigate to Local > Packages > Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy > LocalState > Assets.

The images will appear as blank files, select all of them Control + A then copy with Control + C. Create a new folder in your Documents folder or on the Desktop then paste the files with Control + V.

Open the folder containing the blank Files, click File menu > Open Command Prompt > Open Command Prompt as administrator.

Type the following command: Ren *.* *.jpg then hit Enter. This batch command will convert the blank files to JPEG images and make them visible.

Your mileage might vary, though. I don’t know if it’s because I am using a limited data plan, why I don’t have many of these Spotlight images stored. Some of the files will be asset images, used as resources for app icons; you can delete what you don’t need.

You can periodically check the folder for new images. If you want an easier way to obtain new wallpapers for your desktop, check out our article on how to download and install Windows Themes.
