Automatic Wallpaper Changer Plus

Customization of the computer starts with the desktop background picture, and you can use the tools Windows puts at your disposal to create a slideshow as often as a new slide every minute. However, there are an abundance of third-party alternatives like Automatic Wallpaper Changer Plus, which bring a few more options.

The application’s visual design allows anyone to quickly get acquainted with its set of features. A side navigation pane quickly lets you switch between the gallery, and related options. When done configuring it, you can hide it to the tray area, while it’s possible to change the wallpaper directly from the corresponding icon.

Dragging files over the main window has no effect when trying to create your collection. On the other hand, using the browse dialogs for individual pictures or entire directories isn’t that difficult, letting you load files of formats like JPG, BMP, PNG, and GIF, but sure enough, GIF files aren’t animated.

You can set the application to automatically start with Windows, just to have a new picture greet you when reaching the desktop. Moreover, time options representing change interval are picked from a drop-down menu, stretching from 3 minutes, to one new wallpaper every day. These can be set to slide in a random order.

The tray icon lets you change the current wallpaper at the press of a button, or remove it completely. What you don’t see is the possibility to select a different set. In other words, the application only rotates pictures inside a single gallery, so you need to manually change the set if you ever get tired of seeing the same pictures over and over again.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Automatic Wallpaper Changer Plus helps you turn your desktop background into a fun slideshow, without too much effort. It takes little time to create a picture collection, and set time options. However, there’s no option to save more galleries, or choose picture alignment, unlike default Windows tools.
