Hi,

I know I asked this before but I can’t seem to find the replies.

I want th find the name of the current desktop picture.

Something like this;

tell application "Finder"
tell "System Preferences"
tell "Desktop & Screen Saver"
set x to name of "background picture"
end tell
end tell
end tell
x

TIA,

Hello Bob

Try this one :

tell application "System Events"

tell application "System Preferences"

activate

# Code used to grab the anchor's names

tell pane id "com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect"

name of its anchors

--> {"DesktopPref", "ScreenSaverPref"}

end tell

reveal anchor "desktopPref" of pane id "com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect"

delay 0.5

end tell -- application "System Preferences"

tell process "System Preferences"

tell window 1 -- "Desktop"

set currentBackgound to value of first static text of first tab group

end tell

end tell -- process "System Preferences"
