A Powerful Desktop Background Switcher for Windows that Supports Flickr, Picasa & other Online Photo Sharing Services

 
Desktop
 
I am not really a great fan of desktop background switching/rotating applications, but recently I found something that really caught my attention despite my dislike of these kind of applications. John’s Background Switcher is a great free desktop background switching utility.
There are plenty of features that sets it apart from other applications of this kind. It can not-only use images stored on you computer to rotate on your Windows desktop but also has extensive support of online image hosting/sharing services such as Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, Yahoo and PhanFare. Application’s core functionality of switching backgrounds on the desktop is based on modes. There are total of seven modes supported by the application. Five modes for the online services that I mentioned above and one mode to select specific pictures to switch, and another mode where you will be able to select folders containing pictures that you want to switch on your desktop background. You can set any mode as the current mode and that will be used to rotate the wallpapers for your desktop.

This application supports many advanced features and some features and notes I have complied about this application are as follows:

- Select images from everybody, from a specific person, from a specific pool or from a specific time period etc.

- Multiple photo-sets can be chosen and the above mentioned options can be set for each of the photo sets.

- Set the option to choose the most interesting images only.

- Save all downloaded photos.

- Ignore photos with specific tags.

- You can display your private images (authorization required for Flickr and Picasa).

- Use the largest available image size.

John’s Back Ground Switcher is undoubtedly the most powerful desktop switching application available for Windows, and yet it is for free for personal use. You can download  this powerful desktop switcher from the official website.
