Despite its own drab appearance, ScrollWall does a great job of jazzing up your desktop. A plain but functional interface makes it easy to search for and add your favorite BMP, JPEG, and GIF images, and we appreciate the ability to grab multiple images instead of having to individually add files.

You can choose to have the wallpaper change daily, or at hour, minute, and even second intervals. ScrollWall runs in the background and isn't a resource hog, but there's a brief flicker when the wallpaper changes even when the desktop isn't visible. It doesn't interrupt work in other applications, however, and the program worked well in our tests using a variety of intervals. It may not be a necessity, but this freeware program offers a cheap and effective way to liven up your desktop.

a great simple wallpaper changer for windows
phatso0May 12, 2012
Pros
easy to install, even easier to setup. you can change the update interval from 1min to 59hrs, and also to change at startup. exactly as described. nicely sized thumbnails and preview
Cons
loading tiff format images would be nice, but it handles jpg, gif, and bmp fine. only real con i can find is closing the manager, i would have and did expect that clicking Close would send the app to taskbar from which it opened. it closes the app, most utilities close & minimize to taskbar
Summary
finally a tool that changes wallpapers and does not lock you down to low quality images. i use HD images and for some reason a lot of wallpaper changers want to force you into old sizes and resolution, this tool accepts images of your choice, except tif. is simple to use, and has a friendly interface<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 12, 2012<p/>when Right clicking icon to open manager, the manager opens behind other apps. would be nice to have it open on top of other apps i like simplicity, and ScrollWall is simple. it is now part of my system build
If you need constant change, this one's for you!

Pros
You can bulk select images in a simple interface, set them to default as stretch, center or tile (or set them individually), set it to change after booting or any timer imaginable...As soon as I put this to work, my wife demanded it too! This works!!
Cons
It takes a while for the interface to load the super-hi-res images from the Hubble telescope that I use as a rotating desktop--on a Pentium 3. Not really a surprise. Also, it only works with JPEGs GIFs and BMPs. Not so bad, but the Hubbles were TIFs.
Summary
This program works great. It does exactly what it's supposed to with great efficiency, and the only sign is a tiny flicker on the title bar (nowhere else that I noticed) when it actually changes. I will be keeping this on my list of programs to always keep on my computer, as well as the list to tell everyone I know about.
Exactly what you think it is

Pros
user friendly, no extra (useless) functions
Cons
the program itself looks straight out of the 90s...guess that makes it UBER userfriendly.
Summary
First paragraph of editor's review sums it up to the T
Simple to use

Pros
Works well with a very intuitive interface. Simply choose the pictures you want to cycle as a desktop.
Cons
Would be nice if it had an option to stretch the picture proportionally, but you can't have everything I guess
Summary
Amazing and amazingly simple

Pros
This is a customizers dream. It was quick and easy to set up, easy to set, and freaking cool.
Cons
The interface might be a little too simple, even though it allows you to do whatever it is you need to do, it feels dumbed-down. But that's getting REALLY picky.
