SP

Personalizing your computer is probably one of the first activities after a fresh install of Windows. There are tons of default features with which to change the icon pack, sounds, and color theme. However, a basic option to change the wallpaper. Inase the default set of feature isn’t quite your cup of tea, then alternatives like SP are a little easier to handle.

Can be used on the go

One of the application’s main advantages is portability. As such, you’re free to run it from the moment download is done, with no additional requirements to look for or grab. This means it can also be carried around on a thumb drive in case you want to have your own style of changing the wallpaper on other computers besides your own.
There’s no actual interface to the application, and the first launch might leave you scratching your head for a while. A prompt shows up to inform you of the way the wallpaper needs to be changed, and it continues to appear until the executable is launched with the appropriate parameters.

Leaves more to be desired

As such, you need to pay a visit to the properties panel first in order to add the options of interest. Here, you need to add the hexadecimal code for the background color to add, as well as the path of the picture to use as wallpaper. If it’s in the application folder, you can only write the name and extension.
Sadly, the application hasn’t received any updates in quite some time, and modern Windows methods of changing the wallpaper prove to be less of a hassle. What’s more, pictures supported need to be under the BMP format, with no alignment options, or possibility to set up a slideshow.

To end with

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that SP comes with good intentions, but is heavily underprepared to tackle even default ways of changing your wallpaper. It can take a bit of time before you figure out the exact color code to use, while picture support is poor, with no alignment options.
