Wallpaper Changer

This application changes your wallpaper on a set interval

How to use

Using is very simple and only requires two steps:

  1. Chose image folder
  2. Chose timeout

The application is minimized into a tray icon from which it can be shown again. The tray icon also has a context menu for quick wallpaper change.

Features

This application has many features that make it differ from other applications and the internal Windows feature

Image filter

Only images are read from the directory you select. It will not attempt to read other files and will ignore corrupt images.

Accurate timer

User can freely chose from 5 seconds to 1 day how long to show a wallpaper. It will immediately change the wallpaper on every start, in combination with a high timer value allows the use as a "daily wallpaper" selector.

Persistent wallpaper

It uses official Windows API commands to set the wallpaper. The wallpaper will persist across restarts.

Low memory footprint

It will not attempt to load all wallpapers into memory or read directory contents on each swap. This makes it perfect to read huge wallpaper collections.

Fair random selection

The wallpaper is randomly selected. The algorithm ensures that every image is shown once before reusing one that has already been shown in the past. This also works across restarts.

Tray icon

The application hides behind a tray icon if you minimize it, this keeps space available for other applications in the taskbar. The icon has a context menu to allow for a quick wallpaper swap.
