Hey!

I have an application and would like to change the background, according to the Season we are in. Like a snowy Mountain in Winter, Beach in Summer etc. Is this Possible? I have 4 Pictures selected and would like to have one for every season.

Yes, you could use a Switch() statement that uses Month(Today()) to determine the month at that moment and use different images. If you need to nail it down to the exact day, there is a Day() function that splits out the day value too.

Hope that helps,

Bryan

You can use something like the expression below:

With( { currentDate: Today(), currentYear: Year(Today()) }, If( currentDate < Date(currentYear, 3, 19), WinterPicture, currentDate < Date(currentYear, 6, 20), SpringPicture, currentDate < Date(currentYear, 9, 22), SummerPicture, currentDate < Date(currentYear, 12, 21), AutumnPicture, WinterPicture // Rest of the year ) )

Notice that it will have a few issues:

The actual dates when the seasons start change in different years, so you may need to update it or accept that in some years the image will change a little early / late.

If anyone on the Southern Hemisphere is running your app, they will see the opposite seasons where they are.

Hope this helps!
