After using the same wallpaper for months, don't you feel it's time for a change? Don't worry if you don't have any suitable images, Strayk takes care of everything.

This easy tool presents you with a wide collection of wallpapers you can download and use for free, thus updating your desktop background with a fresh, brand new wallpaper every single day. The program covers quite a varied selection of topics, from nature images to space and astronomy, models and celebrities, travel, art and fantasy.

Strayk puts an icon on the system tray, from which you can access the program's main functions. Besides downloading new images and use them as wallpapers, you can save them in a folder on the hard drive for your own collection and also use them as screensaver.

However, I found this program to have what I consider a major flaw: images can only be downloaded on a daily basis or on Windows startup, and not updated any time you want. So if you want to refresh your wallpaper, you either wait until the next day – or restart your PC.

With Strayk you'll be able to enjoy a different wallpaper in your desktop background and also use them as a screensaver, but you won't be able to download more than one a day.

Wallpapers are more than just background pictures to fill in with shortcut icons. They give a decorative touch to your computer and can even express your personality. And of course, they should be renewed from time to time.

This is precisely what you can do with Walyk Wallpaper Changer, a simple application that enables you to change your desktop background picture in a very easy way. Just add as many pictures as you want to the program's list and then select accordingly. Also, pictures may have different settings, such as display mode or resample algorithm, although the resampling results don't always look that good.

You can change the wallpaper manually from the program's interface or by clicking on its system tray icon. But the best thing is that Walyk can be set to change it automatically at certain time intervals. If it could also download new wallpapers frm the Web, it would be perfect!

If you want a simple, convenient wallpaper manager, then Walyk Wallpaper Changer is your program.

The AWC allows you to change your desktop wallpaper on a timed basis. The time between changes is defined as a number of seconds, minutes or hours. The displayed image can be stretched for the best fit to the screen, optionally maintaining its aspect ratio, or displayed at its actual size.

In Windows versions after Windows 98, when displaying a picture the user is not limited to the centre of the screen, as is usually the case in Windows, but can choose to display the picture in any of the four corners of the screen or centred on one of the edges.

Additionally you can specify that files smaller than a predefined size should be tiled. Again you can specify how the tiles are laid out on the screen rather than simply going from the top left. The AWC is minimized to the system tray rather than to the Task bar. To restore it to view simply double-click the icon in the tray or right click to pop up a menu.

Image formats supported:

• BMP
• JPEG
• GIF
• PNG
• PCX
• TGA
• RLE

Getting copyright free desktop wallpaper is sometimes not easy, with those available often having time limits or requiring fees for permanent use.

TyphoonWallpaper, however, is a free tool that offers access to hundreds of high resolution wallpaper images. TyphoonWallpaper allows you to select a range of images that it will later cycle through automatically while you are using your PC so that you'll always have a fresh desktop.

What's particularly nice about TyphoonWallpaper is the fact that the images are not only incredibly high definition but it also supports dual monitors meaning you can have alternative desktops on different monitors attached to your PC. This even extends to three monitors connected - great for video editors. The wallpapers don't contain adware although they do feature links to try and lure you to buy more products from the developers but it's a small price to pay for some great images.

There might not be many images to choose from when compared to other desktop wallpaper sites but TyphoonWallpaper offers great images on as many monitors as you need to cover.

Sometimes having just one single desktop image is not enough. This is the right moment to use Desktop Takeover.

Desktop Takeover enables you to display several photos on your desktop, embedding them right onto your current wallpaper. Simply select the images from any folder on your PC and drag and drop them on the program's interface.

You can then arrange and resize them as you like, though I must say the resizing tool doesn't work very well. The final result obviously looks better when displayed over a neutral image, rather than a highly detailed wallpaper.

The images used in Desktop Takeover can be either static or turned into channels, which means they rotate according to a user-defined period of time. It's a nice way to show off your best shots, don't you think? Also, whenever you grow tired of your multiple-photo desktop background, you can go back to the regular wallpaper from the program itself. Strangely enough, the wallpaper appears then as tiled.

If you ever wanted to be able to use more than one wallpaper on your desktop, you should definitely give Desktop Takeover a try.

If you get easily bored of your desktop or your desktop background, Dream Wallpaper is a free and easy-to-use solution that changes your computer desktop wallpaper.

With Dream Wallpaper, the developer has left 80,000 high-quality free wallpapers at your disposal, ranging on themes from Movies to Stars, Nature, Cartoons, Art, Animal and Games. Dream Wallpaper automatically cycles through your wallpaper too, so that you have a different image every day if you want.

Alternatively, if you don't like the selection on offer at the developer website, you can use your own images and Dream Wallpaper will cycle through the wallpapers automatically. The selection of images on the developer website is truly outstanding including high-quality images and even widescreen options. However, there don't seem to be many tweaks that you can perform such as adding fade-in and fade outs to changes but this is no big drawback.

Dream Wallpaper is an excellent solution for those that can't be bothered changing their wallpaper manually and want something that spices up their desktop a bit.

Smart Wallpaper Lite is a powerful and easy-to-use wallpaper manager which makes freshening-up your desktop that much easier.

The program will automatically change your wallpaper either on each Windows startup or at specified time intervals. There's no need to touch the control panel either - everything can be administered from the system tray. The developers claim they have stripped it down so that it doesn't use up system resources like the Windows wallpaper changer although I never really noticed the latter ever did anyway.

Nevertheless, it is very lightweight, easy to use and doesn't slow down your PC while changing wallpapers. You have some limited control over how your wallpaper in changed. You can set the program to random mode or "one-by-one". Random obviously means that wallpapers are picked to appear in a random order while "one-by-one" selects them in the order of your choice. When a wallpaper has changed, the program settings automatically pop up from the taskbar which can be annoying but it disappears after a few seconds if you don't use it.

Overall, this is a simple and useful program for anyone who gets bored of their wallpaper on a regular basis.

Do you get bored frequently of your desktop background or wallpaper? If variety is your thing - and they say variety is the spice of life - then this might be for you.

Any Wallpaper works by allowing you to set up a list of folders containing your favorite images that the program will rotate through on your desktop. Any Wallpaper lets you change the background when you decide, every set number of hours or minutes or at a random timescale of your choosing. The program isn't very flexible in terms of the formats it supports but it does handle BMP, JPEG and PNG files. It can automatically search wallpaper folders (including subfolders), search through random or sequential selections of wallpapers and add a wallpaper change on Windows startup. The program also offers additional wallpaper positions that allow you to fit backgrounds horizontally and vertically but it also auto detects the best size and position according to your screen size.

A very useful little program for all those that get bored with same old desktop background every day but needs to support more formats.

DeskSlide is an excellent option for all those that have grown tired of the desktop wallpaper concept.

The program basically turns your desktop into a huge slideshow displaying a new image at intervals of your own choosing. You can specify the wallpaper change interval in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weekly, monthly or when you log on. It's not limited by this though and you can define more complex schedules anyway you want. This is an excellent program for those who just want their desktop to display their favourite photos on a periodic cycle - just browse DeskSlide to the location of your images and your most cherished photos will adorn your desktop.

The great thing about DeskSlide is that it takes into account that not all of your images may be the right size for your screen or desktop - therefore it gives you options as to exactly what size and how you want to display it. Once you've done this, you're also given options about how you want the photos to be ordered although note that it only accepts photos in BMP, GIF, JPEG, DIB, and PNG format which is a minor limitation.

If you get bored quickly with your desktop background or simply can't be bothered changing it much, DeskSlide is a brilliant solution.

If you work with two monitors you probably have some trouble with finding the right wallpapers for them and also with managing both of them properly.

With DisplayFusion these problems will be over. This neat tool makes double monitor handling much easier by providing you with a single interface where you can select new background images for your two screens, adjust the way they appear on the monitor and even look for more wallpapers on the web thanks to its Flickr integration.

DisplayFusion is very easy to use because it displays the wallpapers just as they'll appear on the actual monitors. Also, there's a wide array of options to adjust the photo size, position and aspect ratio. The program features a wallpaper timer as well, with which you can schedule an automatic wallpaper rotation – but unfortunately this only works in the Pro version.

One last tip: if you'd like to have more dual wallpapers to use in your two-monitor installation, have a look at Dual Screen Wallpapers, a wallpaper website specializing in widescreen images for two – or even more - monitors.

With DisplayFusion you can easily manage and customize wallpapers in two or more monitors, but if you want more extended functionality you'll have to switch to the Pro version.

If you're too lazy even to change the Windows desktop wallpaper from time to time, you need an application like Free Wallpaper Changer.

This tool takes care of the hard task of changing your wallpaper according to the period of time you set in its configuration settings, or simply every time you turn on the computer. It already includes a bunch of wallpapers ready to be used, most of which are typical nature landscapes. Fortunately you can add your images to the list in case you like a different sort of wallpaper. Also, most of Free Wallpaper Changer functions can be controlled by means of keyboard hotkeys.

Free Wallpaper Changes not only updates your background image from time to time: it also includes a screen capturing tool so that you can grab anything on your screen and use it as wallpaper right away.

The program enables you to configure some basic settings, like the way the wallpapers should be displayed on screen (centered, tiled or fit to screen) but these settings apply to the whole program and can't be individually customized according to each wallpaper.

Free Wallpaper Changer is a basic wallpaper manager that does its job and with which you can enjoy a different desktop background image everyday.

Wallpaper Master offers a number of options to renew your desktop background image. Create categories to organize your wallpapers and order your different images in a list on the interface. Individual Overrides, like style, alignment or border can be modified directly from the program window. Images can also be set up on multiple monitors in one click.

Despite a good deal of options, we were slightly disappointed with Wallpaper Master. There's no drag and drop, which means you have to browse and select all the pictures you want to use as wallpapers. The effects you can add to them, mirror, black and white and mosaic, are fairly limited and do not add much to your images.

Once you chosen the image you'll use as wallpapers and set up the rotation you can let Wallpaper Master take care of the rest. The program could be a bit more intuitive and offer more effects, but on the whole is a good piece of software to manage your wallpapers.
