AwesomeWallpaper

AwesomeWallpaper is a lightweight application that can help transform your desktop background just the way you like it. If you want to customize your desktop, AwesomeWallpaper is super handy because it offers way more than just a plain option to change your desktop image.

How to Get Started with AwesomeWallpaper

Once you download, unzip the archive, and start the app, it quietly hangs out in your Windows taskbar. Don't worry—it won't start automatically when your computer boots up unless you right-click its icon and select that option.

Setting Up Your Desktop Background

When you fire up the program, a menu with all sorts of settings pops up. In the General tab, you can pick what types of wallpaper you want and which monitors (if you have more than one) the program will work on. It's pretty flexible!

Types of Wallpapers You Can Use

Your desktop wallpaper can be an image, a gallery of images, or even a video! Plus, if you're feeling fancy, you can set it to display info about your system instead of any of those options.

Customizing Your Wallpaper Image

If you go with the Image type for your wallpaper, there are tons of settings! You can adjust its alignment, how transparent it is, and whether or not it should stretch to fit your screen. You'll add your favorite wallpaper directly from this tab.

Create a Gallery for Your Wallpaper

If galleries are more your style, just choose a folder filled with images. Plus, you get to decide how long each image shows up on your screen and if they should auto-play or not. So cool!

Add Some Life with Video Backgrounds

The third option is using a video as your background—how fun is that? It's a great way to animate your desktop with clips you love without hogging too many resources.

Your Personal Touch on Desktop Design

You can make your personal computer look amazing by handpicking images or choosing a lively video for its background—all thanks to AwesomeWallpaper!
