I am logging in user as virtual user to Sitecore. For some reason default wallpaper for user is blue screen instead of default Sitecore field image. enter image description here if I update wallpaper manually via dialog it save value somewhere and show correct wallpaper even for next login. enter image description here

I tried this code. It works for common Sitecore user but does not work virtual user. 

 virtualUser.Profile.SetCustomProperty("Wallpaper", "/sitecore/shell/themes/backgrounds/Field.jpg");

How can I setup wallpaper for virtual user? (Sitecore 8.2)

  • can you try to virtualUser.Profile.Save() after virtualUser.Profile.SetCustomProperty(...)?

  • Does it happen right away? virtual user client data gets flushed, every 4 hours by default. <agent type="Sitecore.Tasks.CompactClientDataAgent" method="Run" interval="04:00:00"/>

The problem could be is that you are using the following: 

virtualUser.Profile.SetCustomProperty("Wallpaper", "/sitecore/shell/themes/backgrounds/Field.jpg")

Try to use the following:

virtualUser.Profile["Wallpaper"] = "/sitecore/shell/themes/backgrounds/Field.jpg"

Explanation

The SetCustomProperty does not check if the user is virtual user or not, but the [] checks it and it saves into the user.RuntimeSettings.Properties if the user is virtual.
