Chameleon Wallpaper Changer

You probably change your wallpaper on a daily basis, or maybe Windows changes it for you at a regular interval, since that’s a part of the default set of features. In any case, customization of the desktop can greatly benefit from applications like Chameleon Wallpaper Changer, this one dedicated to the background picture.

The neat thing is that you don’t need to install the application for it to run, which means it functions just as well from a USB flash drive. In case you decide to carry it around with a collection of pictures, using it on a different PC is perfectly safe, because registries don’t need to be modified.

On the visual side of things, the application wants to make sure you spend as little time accommodating as possible. There’s a large list that shows all imported pictures, as well as a smaller one that enlists albums. Changes you make apply in real time, and you’re free to modify values at any given moment.

When not used, Chameleon Wallpaper Changer stays hidden in the system tray so it doesn’t take up any desktop or taskbar space. It can also be set to automatically start in tray. If you don’t want to bring up the main window by accident, there’s the possibility to change mouse action with the tray icon, which can either be to exit or set the next image as wallpaper.

In case you have a large collection of pictures, a good idea is to set order to random, with an additional parameter that prevents images from repeating. Time is set in either minutes, hours or days, with an associated value field for interval. What’s more, you can choose to pictures to be stretched, tiled, or centered when applied.

You stumble upon pictures even by accident, given the abundance of images that get uploaded online each day. It can make a hard decision to figure out which of the items in your collection to use as wallpaper, but Chameleon Wallpaper Changer can help by shuffling through them, without repetition so every picture gets a chance.
