Publisher's description
From Steve Murphy :The Automatic Wallpaper Changer is designed to do one thing well, allow you to change your desktop wallpaper on a timed basis. The displayed image can be stretched for best fit to the screen, optionally maintaining its aspect ratio, or displayed at its actual size. When displaying a picture the user can choose to display it in any of the four corners of the screen, centered on one edge, or tiled. When resizing you can pick the resizing method that works best for your pictures from Bilinear re-sampling up to Lanczos and Catmull-Rom images types supported: JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, RLE, TGA, PCX.

Version: Automatic Wallpaper Changer 3
"Finally - one that really does the job"
Pros: Dead easy to use, and fast enough to deal with my umpty-few thousand pictures in loads of directories. Resizing is the best and cleanest I've seen in any of these wallpaper switchers. You can filter files so you only cycle the ones downlaoded in the past few days (there's even a webcam mode to update the most recent pic from your webcam). Mirror tiling gives tiled pictures a much cooler look and I've never seen it anywhere else.
Somebody said that he got crashes when trying it out but I've not had a single one and I've battered it.
Cons: Not relevant to how I use it but you can't pick and choose specific pictures or set the order they're displayed in.

Version: Automatic Wallpaper Changer 3
"Works OK, but there are better tools"
Pros: Works fine and does exactly what it promises. Allows you to add some effects to your wallpapers (like 'emboss')
Cons: 1) The interface is somewhat unclear and you have to look around a little before you find everything.
2) Although you can add effects to your images, these do not look good on all images you have (not because of the program, but that's the way things are). That's why I prefer to edit my images myself and save a 'desktop ready' version in a special folder.
3) You can only select one folder with pictures
4) The program crashed a few times while experimenting with the options

Version: Automatic Wallpaper Changer 3
Pros: This program does everything I wanted for changing my background. Easy to install, easy to use, lets me display my photos stretched to full screen without going blurry or distorting aunty Irene's head. I like it so much I joined cnet just so I could leave this rating. Thanks Steve:-)
