SpotYoink
- Simple terminal/console tool that lets you grab those amazing wallpapers Windows uses for its login screens.
How to use
- Simply open up your Windows console/terminal and type in yoink
- Follow the on screen instructions and you should have a new folder within your pictures folder named Spotlight with your new wallpapers
- The login screen wallpapers don’t update very often, so try to use the command maybe once a week I’ve programmed in a daily useage just incase
How it works
- Windows actually stores the wallpapers it uses for the login screen temporarily in a folder located at:
Appdata\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
; - The files don’t have an extension and are a mixed batch of different sizes/aspect ratios
- What this tool does:
- it grab those files
- convert them to a jpeg format
- Filter out the non 1920 x 1080 files
- Copy them all to the new folder stated above
