The desktop wallpaper has a lot of importance for someone who spends most of his day in front of the computer screen. The right desktop background can have a very pleasant and positive effect on your which can directly effect your productivity and efficiency. Realizing the importance of new and fresh wallpapers, we have been covering a lot of automatic wallpaper changing applications lately, such as Color Desker, My Daily Space Wallpaper, Mourao Wallpaper Changer and Kuvva. Today, we have another open source application called Picturethrill, that automatically downloads new wallpapers from five websites and applies a new desktop background on your computer screen each day.
Currently, Bing, NASA, Earth Science, National Geographic and Nature websites are supported by Picturethrill to download images from. The URLs are preloaded into the application, and you don’t have to do anything to start downloading images. You can select only the required wallpaper feeds and apply the wallpaper either by double clicking on the thumbnail or by clicking the Wallpaper button.
The Advanced dialog box lets you choose if you want the application to automatically download new pictures an set them as wallpaper and specify the download folder.
The application has no option to add custom URLs to download the wallpapers from. Other than that, you cannot view or download the next wallpaper in the preloaded streams. We hope that the developer incudes these options in the next release of the application. Picturethrill works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
