Code:
proc
    BG()
        spawn()
            var/list/BG_List=list()
            while(Backgrounds)
                BG_List = flist("Images/")
                var/s = file(pick(BG_List))
                for(var/client/C)
                    winset(C, "default", "image=[s]")
                    alert(C, "S : [s]")
                    winset(C, "SetBackground", "is-checked=true")
                    bg = s
                sleep(3600)
            for(var/client/C)
                winset(C, "SetBackground", "is-checked=false")
                winset(C, "default", "image=\"\"")


Problem description:
well i have it set that the game/tool automatically cycles through backgrounds at login, and its always checking for new ones :P, problem is its telling me which backgrounds its suppose to set but its not actually setting them D:.

I have a question, why're you using spawn()? Doesn't spawn call the procedure again without letting the next one finished? I thought that this was only supposed to be use for things like editing a value on multiple mobs in an area.
