Bionix Wallpaper Lite is a portable freeware version of an extensive desktop wallpaper management utility. It simplifies the process of creating, saving, and cycling your desktop wallpaper displays. It supports a wide range of image formats, with more added regularly via regular updates, as well as drag-and-drop, hot keys, variable window opacity, dual monitors, and magnetic windows. It can display the current time as wallpaper, too. It even supports Active Desktop in Windows 98.

Bionix Wallpaper's system tray icon gives access to its tabbed settings dialog and its main interface, which resembles a media player (WinAmp, to be exact) in appearance and function. Bionix is based around playlists created out of your libraries. It provides a sample Playlist containing a few images that might not suit younger or more prudish users, though it's easy enough to deselect or even delete any or all of them. The program let us configure how images fit on the screen, associate a default image editor, select resample modes, configure hot keys, and set other housekeeping and performance options. The Changer interval control offers a much higher degree of precision than the Windows tool, with selectable intervals in seconds, minutes, or hours and a slider for fine-tuning. Bionix uses media player controls to activate playlists, with Play/Pause, Stop, Forward, and Back arrows that give a familiar feel. We quickly created and saved a new playlist with our display preferences, and then opened it. Bionix displayed our Playlist in a split-view file list and preview pane; clicking Enter set our wallpaper. The display fit as we set it and changed when we told it to.

Some of the features in the full version of Bionix Wallpaper are present but inactive in the Lite version; clicking them called up a message offering to let us download the for-pay version. These inactive features include the resampling quality and logo overlay options. While Bionix Wallpaper doesn't so much add new capabilities to Windows as replace a built-in capability, it's definitely an improvement.

On top of all these, it is freeware!
Be super careful

Pros
The trial version is good, you can mess around with a lot of features. You can even use pictures from various sources of the internet. Trial version gives access to all the features. Basic features after trial are still good.
Cons
Doesn't uninstall clean or in most cases not at all.
Summary
Not a bad program but super difficult to uninstall cleanly.
When I got it to work, it's great
kfenglerApril 18, 2017
Pros
Fun when it works.
Cons
Not an easy installation, very cumbersome for the average person to install I would assume.
Summary
I purchased the new v9.50.2 version, but can't get it to work. I figure eventually I'll get it to work properly. Instructions are not for none very straight forward. They must be written by engineering type that know the product inside out. Customer support isn't real helpful either.
Is the best

AndreaMarcusFebruary 11, 2013
Pros
BioniX Wallpaper Changer has hundreds of features. It is fun to use this tool. Time controller has seconds, minutes or hours option where you can also select time interval for each of the wallpaper to display on desktop automatically. Just like a media player, BioniX Wallpaper Changer has options like play, stop, previous, and next, but here they are for controlling the wallpapers. The features we liked the most are: advanced playlist editor, preview panel, smart enlarge, mirror effect on tiled images, perfect tile wallpapers, support for JPEG 2000 and WB1 files, change wallpapers at the hour specified in wallpaper's name, show calendar over wallpaper, exclude wallpapers with the name in the 'Ignore List', fade wallpaper border, dual monitor support and the list continues. To have quick access to the program's functions, a toolbar with most used buttons/functions is present in the Playlist tab.
Cons
no screensaver available
Summary
You can enhance your desktop with thousands superb wallpapers not doing almost anything. BioniX Wallpaper Changer will do the entire job for you. Just drag & drop your wallpapers from your computer to BioniX and click once the play button. BioniX is definitely a MOST HAVE program!
