Yes it is. But the user can cause the same issue by arranging windows to create a complex image. If this is causing an issue, then you are probably key framing too often.


This will result in better compression.

Even if I have a complex desktop picture it may be invisible, and there may be other complex elements on top of it instead. Removing the desktop picture buys you nothing in that case (in my example the amount of visible desktop picture was less than 5% of the total visible area). If it probably more common to see some amount of content covering the desktop than it is to see the majority of the desktop picture.


We change it using preferences, so there has to be a way to change it using Carbon.

I'm not sure what you mean by "using preferences" - if you mean System Preferences then that application has been Cocoa for its entire lifetime. There is no API for changing the desktop picture via Carbon. The API for that is only available on 10.6 or later.

Failure is not an option. It is a privilege reserved for those who try.
