Weblog Ever get tired of just a few desktop wallpapers?
Written on February 6, 2007
I love desktop wallpapers. Usually anime and CG wallpapers grace my desktop. For years I had my favorite wallpaper on my primary PC, and my second favorite wallpaper on my secondary PC. After a year or so, I would change my favorite wallpaper to a new favorite. But then I would miss the old one…
I eventually ran into a larger problem – having too many favorite wallpapers! I then wondered if there was a way to automatically change wallpapers in Windows. I didn’t find any way to do it with Windows XP’s built in features. I did, however, find several little known programs to do this for me. I tried out several, with my primary concern being with the program’s simplicity, size, and memory usage. After many trial runs, I had decided to stick with a program called dWall.
dWall sits in my system tray and automatically changes wallpapers at any time interval I request. (I set mine to change every 10 minutes.) I love it. Now I can enjoy all of my favorite wallpapers all the time. Yes, I do get bored very easily…
You can find dWall at the at the author’s site here.
By the way, those lucky MacOS X users out there have this feature built in to the OS. Those Apple guys definitely have vision…
