Wallpaper Updater Specifications
|
Manage your desktop wallpapers.
The Windows Desktop Background tool will change your wallpaper at regular intervals up to once a day. If you want to change your wallpaper daily, weekly, or monthly, you can do it manually or download a tool that adds the capability. Wallpaper Updater is just such a tool. This free utility runs in the background, changing your wallpaper at regular intervals of one day or longer (or at startup) from a system folder or a Picasa Web Album.
We installed Wallpaper Updater and opened it from its Start Menu folder, which also includes a Help file and uninstaller. The program's Settings sheet is divided into two tabs, Local Disk and Picasa Web Albums. We started by browsing our system to an album of wallpaper images and selecting Consecutive Mode (the default is Random Mode). The program can change wallpaper every day, week, or month or on Windows startup, or all three by checking a box labeled Change When Period Starts. We selected the Fit To Screen Size option, too. An Additional Filters pop-up let us specify a minimum size for wallpaper in pixels; we could also click on a link in the Current Wallpaper field to open the target folder with the current wallpaper image highlighted. Clicking the Never Show button added images to the Black List feature for permanent exclusion. When everything was ready, we clicked OK to activate our settings. The Change Now button started our slideshow; clicking it consecutively let us flip through the images one by one. The Picasa Web Album tab is basically identical except for a checkbox to select the feature, an address field, and an Authorize button.
