CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
You really can't judge a book by its cover. Take Wallpaper Master Pro. Its gray tabbed menus, cryptic labels, and tiny selection windows make it about as welcoming as a wall of slate. However, this desktop wallpaper-management utility is fairly easy to use. Just add images (up to 32,000!) to the program's master list, and set the options for position, watermark, order of appearance, and change interval. You'll even find a couple of simple effects, such as a black-and-white filter. Configurable hot keys and a system-tray icon allow for quick wallpaper switches. An especially nifty feature is the ability to automatically select a complementary background color for wallpapers that don't stretch across the screen. You'll have to use another program to touch up your images, since this one doesn't include a graphics editor. But that's OK. We'd rather a program do one thing well than many things poorly. We wouldn't recommend Wallpaper Master Pro to neophytes, but it's a good choice for computer-savvy desktop mavens.Publisher's description

Version: Wallpaper Master Pro 1.52
"Works great! Until you register it."
Pros: The trial version works perfectly. Just don't register it.
Cons: After registration none of the settings would take. Support was useless. One response. Sorry you aren't happy with it. That was it. Keep your money. Use the free version if you like it.

Version: Wallpaper Master Pro 1.52
"(Free version) Thus far working perfectly"
Pros: I have just installed and started using Wallpaper Master (free version). It thus far has been great. The installation was simple, the interface is intuitive and simple, despite an impression array of features that allow considerable customization. I feel (a little) guilty that it's free. I tried AllWallpapersLite and, although it looked promising, I couldn't get it to load my image files.
Cons: The only drawback is now there will be one more really cool gadget on which I can waste unforgivable amounts of time!

Version: Wallpaper Master Pro 1.52
Pros: I figured out how to use it pretty easily. It does exactly what I want, keep changing my favorite pics as wallpaper as often as I want, keeping the aspect ratio, without extra bells and whistles.
I can set the pics to anchor to the right ( or where I want) so they are not lost under the icons. This version fixed a problem I had with it not loading on startup.
Cons: I'm not sure if I will buy it or just use the reduced free version which still does most of what I want. I would for say $10 but for $19 I'll see if I miss the other features.
