Tasks running and ready, but not affecting lock screen

Open mcgeochd opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I followed this guide to setup Wintermelon: https://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/16/windows/how-to-show-lock-screen-on-both-displays-in-dual-monitor-set-up.html, trying twice with the files in Program Files and in Downloads with no luck.

The tasks point to the correct location of the exe as well, but the lock screen still only shows on one monitor.

I actually just managed to fix this. The guide I linked doesn't mention .NET core but it is required, secondly, the guide tells you to modify the script paths incorrectly, they should actually look like this:

@mcgeochd Glad you were able to resolve it. I'm not the author of the article you pointed out but the author there has done a great job posting screenshots which make the installation process very clear. There is some customization going on there such as changing the bin path in the powershell script. In the README I've in this repo I specify the publish location as Target location=bin\Release\netcoreapp3.1\publish\ and in requirements I've mentioned that .NET core runtime (or SDK, which comes with the runtime) is required. The powershell install scripts should not need any modifications if you follow my README. Also, beware, do not use exe files found online. You can install the free version of Visual Studio and build the exe out of the C# solution project file yourself. I intentionally excluded the exe from the repo.
