GoodMood

Every day, a photo from National Geographic’s vast collection of images is chosen as the “Photo of the Day” and displayed on the official website. If you’re trying to find an interesting wallpaper for your desktop, this is always a good place to look.

GoodMood is a relatively simple application that downloads the current photo of the day automatically and sets it as your desktop background. It is easy to use and very unobtrusive, but it doesn’t offer as many features as other wallpaper changers we have come across.

Essentially, this application runs in the system tray and updates your wallpaper every day to the image currently posted on the National Geographic website. However, you can also choose to disable automatic updates if you want to keep a picture on your desktop for longer.

Once you have started and configured the program, you can let it run in the background and get on with your day. It will be launched automatically when you boot up your PC.

As we have already mentioned, you can specify whether or not the application should search for new pictures or update your wallpaper automatically. You can perform these operations directly from the program’s system tray menu.

By default, images are cropped in order to be suitable for your desktop’s resolution, but you also have the option of centering them and filling the gaps with a bright or dark color.

On the whole, GoodMood isn’t the most advanced wallpaper changer we have seen, as it doesn’t let you use pictures that were featured by National Geographic in the past. Nevertheless, it is a great utility for users who only want a quick way to set the current photo of the day as their wallpaper
