WimpWall Potable Freeware - Latest Release Download
WimpWall is the free automatic wallpaper changer for those too wimpy to be bothered with complicated stuff.
System Requirements
- Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP
Features
- Runs automatically at startup, then terminates. Most other wallpaper changers hang around in your system tray, taking up valuable resources.
- Chooses random image for wallpaper from folder(s) you nominate. Yes, you can specify multiple folders.
- Recurses folders, to find more images. If you sort your images into folders, then this is a great time-saver.
- Can automatically tile small images, whilst letting large images stretch or centre.
- Displays jpeg (.jpg) and bitmap (.bmp) images
- Gives opportunity to postpone wallpaper change, in case your desktop already has one you particularly like
- Does not require Active Desktop
- No program installation required
Tips
- WimpWall works with folders, not individual images. If there's a particular image you want to set you can use Display Properties in Windows or the Set as Wallpaper option of your web browser.
- WimpWall was designed to change wallpaper at startup. Returning from Standby, Suspend and Hibernate do not count as starting up. If you normally hibernate instead of shutting down then you might prefer another wallpaper changer. Or see the next two tips for an alternative.
- To make WimpWall run at times other than startup you can copy the WimpWall shortcut from the startup group of your start menu to your task scheduler.
- For a one click shortcut to change the wallpaper whenever you want, just copy the WimpWall shortcut from the startup group of your start menu.
- If you update or move WimpWall then you must run it and save settings to relink it to the shortcut that runs at startup.
