Wallpaper Cycler

Wallpaper Cycler is a small software application whose purpose is to help you change your desktop background with the aid of images from your personal collection. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

Clean and simple looks

After a fast and simple installation process where you only have to press on a few buttons in order to complete the task, you are welcomed by a simple design. The tool can be found running quietly in the system tray without disturbing your activity. You may gain access to its set of options by right-clicking on the tray icon.
In case you do not manage to tweak the dedicated parameters on your own, you can appeal to the built-in help manual which comprises several handy tips and succinct descriptions about the tool’s features.

Set wallpapers

Wallpaper Cycler offers you the possibility to specify a folder that contains multiple images. The application makes use of the photos in order to set wallpapers.
The program comes with support for a special function, so-called ‘TV Mode’ which gives you the freedom to preview pictures before activating wallpapers in a small panel (which is placed just above the system tray). In addition, you are allowed to go to the next or previous image, and set the preferred one as your wallpaper.
Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to keep the minimalist preview panel on top of other windows, automatically run the tool at Windows startup, and display wallpapers in a random order.
Tests have shown that Wallpaper Cycler carries out a task quickly. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the system is not hampered. On the downside, it has not been updated for a long time so you may bump into all sorts of errors on newer operating systems like Windows 10 and 8.

Final remarks

To sum things up, Wallpaper Cycler comes packed with several basic features for helping you change your wallpaper, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
