Random Wallpaper Changer v2.02

Keep Your Desktop Background Always Interesting

Tired of staring at the same desktop wallpaper day after day? If you have a folder full of photos, downloaded wallpapers, or background images sitting unused on your hard drive, Random Wallpaper Changer puts them to work. Point it at any directory containing JPEG, JPG, or BMP files and it will automatically rotate your desktop background at whatever interval you choose -- every few seconds, every few minutes, or anything in between.

The selection is 100% random. If you have 100 background images in a directory, Random Wallpaper Changer will randomly select from all of them, so you get a fresh desktop every time you look. With subdirectory scanning enabled, there is no limit to the number of image files available to the rotation, so you could have a different wallpaper every time you turn around.

This is the ideal solution for anyone who cannot stand having the same boring desktop background. Random Wallpaper Changer runs quietly from the Windows system tray, out of your way until you need it. Right-click the tray icon to access setup, change your wallpaper immediately, or close the application. Use the built-in Wallpaper Preview feature to browse files within each directory before selecting them, so you know exactly what images are available.

Key Features

How to Get Started

• Download and run -- Extract the ZIP file and run the application. Random Wallpaper Changer appears in your Windows system tray.
• Choose your image folder -- Right-click the tray icon, choose Setup, and select the directory containing your wallpaper images. Enable "Include Subdirectories" if your images are organized in subfolders.
• Set the interval -- Choose how often you want the wallpaper to change, in minutes or seconds. Pick your preferred display mode (tile, center, stretched, fit, or fill).
• Start on Windows boot -- Check the "Add to Windows Startup" option in the setup screen so Random Wallpaper Changer runs automatically every time you start your computer.

Tips

• Supported formats -- Random Wallpaper Changer supports JPG, JPEG, and BMP image files. Point it at a folder with any mix of these formats and it will find them all.
• Best display mode -- For high-resolution photos, use "Fit" or "Fill" mode (Windows 7+) to maintain the original aspect ratio. "Stretched" will fill the screen but may distort your images.
• Settings are saved immediately -- Starting in v2.01, your settings are saved as soon as you click Save in the setup dialog. No need to worry about losing changes if Windows shuts down unexpectedly.
