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.

*Added ability to change image folder location after initial declaration.

*v.1.5 added easy installation

*v2.2 color change, tile/zoom/fit feature


Features I still need to add is

-the ability to auto-fit the image or to tile the image

-PNG format

This is great! I've been using it for a few months now. However, I have noticed a strange glitch. Sometimes the wallpaper is just showing a random colour with nothing else on it. This happens even when I have the experimental desktop colour changer turned off.

if you used visual c# to make this app i could help you with the auto-fitting or tiling of the image but in return can you tell me how you made the "auto start w/ windows" functionality?
