If you’re a big photo buff on Microsoft Windows, this app is for you. Free and super simple to use, John’s Background Switcher dynamically swaps out your computer desktop background image based on the photo source you choose.
The switcher supports numerous sources of photos:
- Any folder on your computer
- Flickr
- SmugMug
- Picasa
- Webshots
- Or any RSS feed or Google, Yahoo or Bing Image Search URL
I am a Flickr user and can choose which “set” I want to use, or simply use popular photos from across Flickr.
There are an amazing number of settings to choose from: picture mode, change frequency (30 seconds to 7 days), multiple monitors just to name a few. You can even select background montages/mosaics of your photos.
John did an amazing job for a free app. Download it here.
