Desktop wallpaper sets the mood for all we do on our Windows-based computers. But, even the best vacation photographs grow stale after a while. To keep energy flowing while behind a computer screen, we should change our desktop wallpaper often—or at least periodically.
If you do not have time to change your desktop wallpaper, a program like FlickrWall can do it for you. Flickrwall rotates desktop wallpaper on a set schedule by pulling photographs from Flickr.
After a quick download from Softonic, extract and install FlickrWall. Be careful: the software comes packaged with the Bing toolbar. If you do not want to install this toolbar, be sure to uncheck it during the installation process.
Once installed, the software opens for you to choose your options. First, login to to Flickr by clicking the Sign in button towards the top of the window.
Next, choose how often you would like the software to change your desktop wallpaper. Choices range from every hour to every day.
Choose the list of Flickr photos to use. The Explore Top 100 is a good choice, as it changes everyday, but you can also choose to use photos from a specific group or of a specific place.
If there is a certain day’s list you would like to use, you can enter a date in the box just below where you choose the list of photos. Leave the box blank for the photos to change with the given day. Most people should leave the box blank.
To have the wallpaper changer start when Windows starts, check the box next to run at startup.
Click Update Now to update your selections, then close the window.
You will see a black W appear next to your clock on the taskbar. You can right-click the W at any time and choose options to change your settings. Or, click next to show a different photo as your wallpaper.
Some users have reported minor issues with the program that were resolved by downloading the latest .NET framework. With Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit, we had no problems.
Overall, the software is small, does exactly what it claims to do, and does so with a moderate amount of speed. If looking for a creative way to change your desktop wallpaper, FlickrWall is definitely a good choice.
