ABF Wallpaper Changer 3.8.1.117

Are you tired of having to manually change the wallpaper on your Windows XP –powered machine? Wouldn’t you much rather Windows XP behave like Windows 7, and automatically change the wallpaper after a specific amount of time? The bad news is that you can’t tweak Windows XP to do this. The good news is that there are specialized software applications out there that work on Windows XP that can do this.

One such application is the ABF Software-developed ABF Wallpaper Changer. This application does precisely what I mentioned above: it will automatically change your desktop wallpaper after a specific amount of time. You get to choose how much time will pass until the wallpaper is changed. If you do not want to wait until that amount of time passes, you can change the wallpaper by pressing a hotkey.

If you’re already sold on ABF Wallpaper Changer, then this will drive you over the edge. Here are the other bits and pieces ABF Wallpaper Changer can do:
- It can put a calendar on your desktop. You can customize the way the calendar looks by selecting a skin. You can put the calendar anywhere on the screen.
- ABF Wallpaper Changer can download wallpapers from the web. There are numerous categories to choose from, ranging from animals to celebrities.
- You can select the wallpaper background color or you can let ABF Wallpaper Changer use the automatic background calculation.
- Select one of 6 methods to set a picture as the desktop wallpaper: center, tile, stretch, maximize, custom, and smart.
