WPInfo1.0.5

WPInfo is a tiny application that enables you to customize your desktop wallpaper by filling it with useful information about your computer, such as host name, IP addresses, along with the OS service pack and version. It features practical text formatting options that can be easily tackled by all types of users.

Prerequisites and interface

The entire tool's wrapped in a single executable file that can be saved to a custom directory on the disk or stored on a USB flash drive, in order to effortlessly launch it on any PC to personalize wallpapers.It doesn't integrate new entries into the system registry or create files on the disk without asking for approval. On the other hand, it needs .NET Framework to work properly, since it was developed with the aid of this platform.

When it comes to the interface, WPInfo adopts a standard window with a neatly structured layout, listing buttons for quickly embedding information in the wallpaper by just clicking on them. This focuses on the user and host names, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, logon domain, operating system, OS service pack and version, along with the free space.It's possible to increase or decrease the font size, customize the text color, apply bold, italic or underline effects, set the alignment, edit the horizontal and vertical margins, place text on the upper or lower left or right corner of the wallpaper, as well as preview the final product and set it as the wallpaper if you're satisfied with the outcome.The project can be saved to the disk, postponed, and later opened to pick up from where you left off. Moreover, you can set the output mode to 16 bpp, 24 bpp or the current depth, ask the tool to ignore the taskbar height, change the default file name, directory and format for the new wallpapers, load an image from the disk to apply as the background picture and adjust the opacity level, as well as save relative paths.
