Dream Wallpaper1.2

Customizing your desktop needs to start with simple things, like sound packs, icon sets, or wallpaper galleries. For this last item, Windows already provides the necessary means to keep the background animated through picture rotation, but you can get fresh new pictures when relying on specialized applications like Dream Wallpaper.

Visually appealing, and easy to use

The application shows up in a custom-made interface which poses no accommodation problems whatsoever. Several tabs make sure you easily access all option and configuration zones, while picture selection screens are fitted with thumbnails so you know what you get on your desktop.Depending on your screen type, you can either choose normal or widescreen wallpapers. You find all pictures in both categories, with the difference being screen optimization. Moreover, the application comes with a decent collection of wallpapers organized in categories like nature, cartoon, holiday, games, movies, art, and illustrations.

Rich library of pictures, but poor rotation settings

However, the gallery doesn’t limit itself the to six images per category, with the possibility to browse the same type of collections, but from an online database fitted with plenty more updated pictures. Additionally, you can add your own JPG or PNG image files to the list of pictures to use as wallpaper.Despite its pretty visuals and rich collection of pictures the application fails to deliver flexibility in terms of picture rotation. In fact, the only way to have pictures rotated as wallpapers is to either manually do so from the tray icon controls, or enabling the application to run with Windows and change it with every boot.

A few last words

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Dream Wallpaper manages to live up to expectations in the sense that it provides a decent collection of wallpapers both offline and online, so you never encounter the same wallpaper twice. On the downside, rotation options are incredibly poor, and can only be set to automatically change either everyday, or with every startup.
