Photostand2.3.1

There’s a high chance you get bored of the same picture hanging on your desktop, but it can also be a difficult decision to pick a new one every now and then. In case you don’t find the Windows default tool to your liking, you can always rely on third-party alternatives, and a suitable example in this regard is Photostand.

Can quietly sit in the tray area

Before you go through the setup process to ensure the functionality of the application, it’s a good idea to make sure that your computer is equipped with .NET Framework. Your default wallpaper is at risk, because the first time the application launches a new one is selected from the default folder configuration.The application usually stays minimized, unless you want to manage behavior options. Interacting with the tray icon brings up the main window, where you can add multiple folders containing pictures. In addition, it’s possible to include keywords so the application looks up items of interest over the web to apply as wallpapers.

Set rotation interval and fitting options

Several controls are at your disposal. The display style can be set to match the screen size, centered, tiled, in the screen, or to cover the screen. A slider lets you adjust the selection ratio between local and web files.Settings can be saved for later use. Suspending the application prevents the wallpaper from being changed. In terms of rotation interval, the application can be set as low as a minute, with values ranging up to once a week. Pictures can be picked at random or sequentially, and you can choose to have subfolders included in the process as well.

To end with

All in all, Photostand is a reliable wallpaper rotator overall. It can randomly display pictures from both online and offline sources on your desktop, with the possibility to comfortably set rotation interval, as well as mode of fitting pictures on screen.
