Wallpaper Downloader

Wallpaper Downloader is a small software application whose purpose is to help you search for various wallpapers and download them. The utility is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7.

Interacting with the GUI

The program sports a simple design that gathers only a few configuration settings. A help manual is not included in the package so you need to experiment a little bit with the built-in options in order to understand how the tool works. You need to have an active Internet connection in order to be able to preview and download wallpapers.

Wallpaper downloading options

Wallpaper Downloader offers you the possibility to preview wallpapers directly in the main window with the aid of thumbnails. What’s more, you are allowed to choose between different categories, such as Animals, Digital Universe, Windows, Girls, Landscape, and Cars.
The application is able to show the number of images included in each category and lets you browse throughout the entire collection. In addition, you can change the language of the GUI. Images are exported to JPG file format.
Several tweaking parameters are hidden under the hood for helping you minimize the main window after setting the wallpaper, restore the main panel after a custom number of seconds, copy the downloaded wallpapers to your disk, as well as automatically alter your current wallpaper at a custom time interval (from 5 seconds up to 10 hours).
Tests have pointed out that Wallpaper Downloader is not quite speedy when it comes to displaying and downloading wallpapers. It freezes while grabbing wallpapers. It has not been updated for a long time so you may come across all sorts of bugs, errors, and compatibility issues.

Final observations

To sum things up, Wallpaper Downloader comes bundled with several simple features for helping you download wallpapers and change your desktop background automatically. However, it needs functionality improvements until it can be called a reliable wallpaper manager.
