Desktop Wallpaper Changer1.0.0

Having the same old wallpaper for a long period of time gets boring, and you might not be in the right mood to manually change it very often. Luckily, Windows already includes an option to automatically rotate the desktop background, but there are also third-party alternatives like Desktop Wallpaper Changer you can rely on.

Lightweight and easy to use

First off, the application requires .NET Framework to both be installed and to function, so it’s best to check whether or not it’s on your PC, although modern Windows iterations come with it in the default set of features. There’s not link offered by the setup package.The window you get to work in holds all elements required to set up the list of pictures, and preview, with just an additional option panel to set up behavior options. You’re also offered a preview section to view the picture selected from the list, while a set of controls helps start, stop, and skip the current picture.

Add pictures and set change details

As far as file support is concerned, the application lets you load a decent variety of pictures, such as JPG, BMP, PNG, and GIF, but the latter format doesn’t support animations. Adding files requires you to either drop them over the main window, or use the selected browse dialogs for files or entire contents of folders.The application stays in the tray area during use, and can be set to run with Windows, even to change the picture when this is done. There’s a change order you pick from a drop-down menu, with options for random, or in order. Style can either be centered, fit, or tile, while interval can only be specified in minutes.

In conclusion

All in all, Desktop Wallpaper Changer is a straightforward alternative to what Windows already provides by default. The set of features doesn’t really offer an advanced variety of options, but it does deliver a simple method of having the background picture changed every now and then.
