About:
After switching to Window´s new OS Vista, I went in search of a good Wallpaper changer. I could not find one, so I decided to create my own.
This wallpaper changer will monitor your chosen folder and recognize when new pictures are added or old pictures are removed. It will also recursively drill down through each subsequent folder checking for images. You can also set how often it rotates the images from 1 minute to multiple days.
Other feature include setting program to start with windows and a progress bar to show when the next wallpaper change will take place. Also has ability to determine image´s main color, and set desktop background color to match.
Version Updates:
v1.0 Added ability to change image folder location after initial declaration
v2.0 Added Experimental Auto-Desktop Color Chooser, removed various bugs
v2.2 Fixed tile/center/zoom control
v2.3 Added filename in image, still buggy but can be disabled
FreewareFiles tested Dazzos Wallpaper Changer 2.3 on 2008-08-05 using leading
antivirus scanners and found it 100% Clean. It does not contain any form
of malware, spyware, viruses, trojans, etc. We will re-test each updated
version and remove the award as well as the program if found infected.
