Picture of the Day

The desktop has become a personal space, especially since you spend so much time there on a daily basis. In case you’re not using it for any particular useful activities, you can at least make it look pretty. One first aspect to look into is the wallpaper, which you can change with something fresh every once in a while thanks to Picture of the Day.

Easily configure source websites

The application gets installed in a little while, giving you the chance to check out the set of features in no time at all. However, in order for things to go smooth, an active Internet connection is required, because your new wallpapers are grabbed from a whole lot of different websites.
There is a decent list of predefined websites which the application uses to fetch new images. However, you’re free to add your own, or remove those you consider don’t surprise you with a neat wallpaper. Before removing them, you have the chance to test or view them.

Specify change interval and download location

In order to make it suit your style, you might want to pay a visit to the settings tab. There, you have the possibility to also save pictures on your computer, select the position on screen for the new wallpaper, and even add a custom texture or color layout in case the picture can’t be fitted to screen.
More options are available in order to set change frequency, with a drop-down menu to select hours, days, or minutes, and a text field to write down an appropriate value. There’s the possibility to have the wallpaper changed right away, pressing the trigger button repeatedly changing it until you stumble upon something of interest.

To end with

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Picture of the Day manages to live up to expectations, providing a neat way of having a fresh new wallpaper at regular time intervals. Clever integration of features save you the time needed to decide what pictures to use, replacing your decision with a surprize from custom or preset websites.
