Random BackGround

Random BackGround is a lightweight Windows application built specifically for helping you change your wallpaper at preset time using images stored in your computer.

The word that describes best the user interface is simplicity. You are offered quick access to the files and folders stored in your computer, so you can easily select the desired directory, which includes the images that are set as your wallpaper.

The tool offers support for the following file formats: BMP, DIB, JPG, and GIF.

Random BackGround gives you the possibility to include subdirectories, automatically change the picture at a preset time (e.g. 10 or 30 seconds, 3, 5, 10, or 30 minutes, 1 up to 12 hours), choose the image position (fill, fit, stretch, tile, center), as well as select the maximum scaling value.

Other notable features worth being mentioned allow you to alter the background color, run the utility at Windows startup, make file associations, and pause the process by clicking on the program’s icon from the system tray and selecting the corresponding option.

On the downside, you cannot build up a list with the images that are automatically set as your wallpaper, specify their order, change the wallpaper at a user-defined time, and preview the pictures.

To sum things up, Random BackGround offers a simple software solution when it comes to helping you automatically change your wallpaper at a predefined time. The lack of configurable settings makes it an ideal app especially for less experienced users.
