Wallperizer

Wallperizer is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you automatically change your desktop background using images from your personal collection.

The GUI looks well-structured because the tool employs a multi-tabbed layout for helping you tweak settings related to the wallpaper, calendar, and general options. You need to take some time and experiment with the built-in features in order to make the most out the utility’s capabilities.

Wallperizer gives you the possibility to automatically change the wallpaper at a certain time interval, set random images as your wallpaper, resize pictures automatically based on certain rules, and apply special effects (gamma and brightness) to each photo set as your wallpaper. You may specify the directories from which pictures are loaded.

You are allowed to display a calendar on the wallpaper and customize it in terms of position, text effect, and shadow, configure the colors for various parameters, opt for an oval or rectangular calendar, as well as adjust the text displayed for the year, month, day of the week, and days. Last but not least, you can run Wallperizer at Windows startup and configure hotkeys for jumping to the next or previous picture.

All things considered, Wallperizer comes packed with several useful configuration options for helping you set different images as your wallpaper. On the downside, the tweaking parameters are not highly intuitive and there’s no support for a help manual. The app has not been updated for a long time so you may bump into compatibility issues on newer operating systems like Windows 8. We have tested it on Windows 8.1 and noticed that some pictures could not be set as wallpapers.
