Windows 7 is equipped with its own manager, which is able to switch desktop wallpapers on a schedule, decorating the traditional interface design. There is no such thing in previous versions of Windows, so you have to use additional utilities. John’s Background Switcher is just such a program. But in addition to simply switching pictures, it also has its own "chips", which are not present in Windows 7.
The program is able to add to its list both individual files on the computer and the contents of entire folders. All this John’s Background Switcher can show, changing with a certain frequency. Since the size of the images can be different, the program can adjust it to the resolution of the monitor. There is an interesting function — the utility creates something like a collage of images in a folder, which it places on the desktop.
But the most interesting thing about the utility is that it can work with images posted on the Internet. The program works with services such as Flickr, Facebook*, Phanfare, smugmug, Picasa Web Albums, Webshots, Google Image Search, Bing Image Search, Yahoo! image search, as well as with any RSS feed broadcasting images, for example, from DeviantArt, Photobucket, LOLCats, Zooomr and others like.
For this alone, John’s Background Switcher is worth downloading: http://www.johnsadventures.com/software/backgroundswitcher /.
