Wallmaster (http://www.tropicalwares.com/wallmast.html) is a neat little program that will change your desktop background at whatever interval you want. The only limitation of the free version seems to be a limit of around 40 backgrounds. Also check out their really cool wallpaper packs.

It looks pretty good, I'll check it out. Thanks! :wave:

Edit: I was just wondering, wouldn't it be relatively easy to program an application to do that? I should probably brush up on either VB or C++.

No prob.

I have it running on one of my computers with a TV out card coupled to a 52" LCD, so the images are really cool to look at.

Yes, it should be very easy to program an application like that. Although the last time I programmed was twenty years ago when I was seventeen. Ah yes, the good old days of the Commodore 64. For it's time, the best computer ever made.

I had a c64 and spent many frustrating hours trying to create little programs from a magazine i collected week by week.. drove me crazy.. there always seemed to be a printing error in the program... which they pointed out the next week:D

LOL...me too!

I remember looking at all those lines of code and thinking over and over that, "There is no way I'm going to sit there and type in all those lines". But inevitably, five minutes later, I was doing just that.
