CSWall : Simplistic application that automatically changes your computer's wallpaper with pictures from 500 PX on any specified interval of time
If you're looking for a so-called wallpaper or background changer for your computer, then you can consider yourself either lucky or quite unfortunate, depending on how you look at things. Lucky because there are tons of wallpaper changers out there, and unfortunate possibly because not all of them are exactly worth your while.CSWall is a lightweight and streamlined piece of software that fetches random pictures from 500px (one of the most popular photography online communities and marketplaces) and sets them as wallpaper at specified intervals of time.
Wallpapers from 500px on your computer's desktop
It allows you to choose your wallpapers from various categories like Abstract, Animals, BlacknWhite, Celebrities, Cities, Commercial, Concert, Family, Fashion, Film, Fine Art, Food, Journalism, Landscapes, Macro, Nature, Nude, People, Performance, Sport, Still Life, Street, Transportation, Travel, Underwater, Urban Exploring, and Wedding.The app also provides you with a timer that allows you to specify the wallpaper change interval as well as with the possibility to save the images and that's kind off about it regarding functionality.
Image quality should have been the primary concern
Even though the application works fairly well, turning your attention towards other aspects of the app might leave you disappointed. Take, for example, the app's interface that's not exactly a joy for the eyes. Even so, that's not the biggest problem of this app.Quite amusingly, the most annoying fact about this app is the image quality which is - no other word for it - appalling. Yes, it does bring 500px pictures to your computer's desktop, but the resolutions are more suited to computer displays from two centuries ago.
Gets the job done, but it doesn't deserve any medals for it, that's for sure
Having said all that, CSWall is a wallpaper changer that brings 500px pictures to your computer's desktop, and that's about it. Sadly, the utility can be called mediocre, at best, since it's not exactly feature-packed, it's not eye-catching, and, let's not forget, the provided wallpapers are just too small for most modern displays.
