Wallpaper Rotator

Wallpaper rotator is a simple utility that can be used to change your computers wallpaper. Wallpapers can be selected randomly from a user selected folder (and subfolders). A very handy feature that distinguishes Wallpaper rotator from other similar programs is that it can read (and follow) windows shortcuts to image files.

Features

Wallpaper rotator does not stay resident in your computer's memory. Hence it does not consume any system resources.
Wallpaper rotator automaticaly scans a user selected folder and its subfolders for images
Can Read/follow windows shortcuts to images and folders.
Supports bmp, jpeg and png image files
Option to correctly stretch images without disturbing their aspect ratio
Option to automatically choose a desktop background color that "fits" with the image

An important feature of wallpaper rotator is that it can read and understand windows shortcuts to image files or folders as if they were real image files and folders. This is very handy beacause you can instruct wallpaper rotator to get wallpaper images from a folder that contains nothing else but shotcuts to your real image folders and/or image files. You dont need to make separate copies of the images that you would like to be displayed.
