How to make a changing wallpaper [Windows and Android]

Aloha!

Today's note will be useful for those users who like to always have a fresh picture on their desktop!

And, as you might guess, we will not manually change the wallpaper (and we will not even search for them and download them from the network), a special will do everything for us. program. Conveniently? That's the same! 😉

By the way, not so long ago, a study by psychologists was published on Rambler that automatically changing wallpaper in the workplace helps to get rid of negative moods, routine thoughts and cheer up! So, it is not only beautiful, but also useful! 👌

Approx. : for the same reasons, I decided to stop in a note not only on Windows PCs, but also on Android devices ...

👉 By the way!

1) Several unusual backgrounds for the desktop (we revive the desktop and put things in order for the new school year!)

2) How to change the wallpaper on the desktop, how to make them live. What if the wallpaper doesn't change?

Making a changing wallpaper

For Windows (on the desktop)

👉 STEP 1

For work we need specials. utility - 👉 Background Switcher (link to the official website of the developer).

What are its advantages:

firstly, it can take wallpapers both from your specific folder and from photo hosting services: Flickr, Pixabay, Google Photos, etc. (i.e. you don't even need to upload pictures - it will do it for you automatically) ;
secondly, you can automatically set the time for changing the wallpaper, as well as the scale and cropping;
thirdly, you can save any wallpaper you like to your daddy with two clicks of the mouse;
fourthly, it is in Russian and is compatible with all popular Windows 7/8/10 operating systems.

The wallpaper has changed by itself! / Background Switcher in action!

👉 STEP 2

The Background Switcher installation is standard, so I omit it ...

After starting, you will see the main settings window - click on the button "Add" and indicate photo source (wallpaper). If you do not have your own separate folder with selected pictures, I recommend trying the services Flickr and Pixabay ... (like mine in the example below 👇)

Add source of photos and images

👉 STEP 3

When adding a photo hosting (for example, the same Flickr) - the program also allows you to specify the type of pictures that will be used.

I recommend setting the option "Everything" and indicate the number of recent photos at least 500!

All photos

👉 STEP 4

After that, in the main window, you must specify:

time (interval) of changing the wallpaper (for example, once in 1 hour);
display mode - I recommend choosing "Zoom and crop to full screen" ... Thanks to this, the picture will "fill" the entire area of the desktop;
if you have several monitors - you can specify whether the picture will change everywhere or only on one of them.

Change every hour, crop to fit the monitor

👉 STEP 5

In general, that's all!

Now the program will automatically update your wallpaper on your desktop, and you will always be in trend of new pictures! 😉

Note: a small program icon will be displayed in the tray - when you change the wallpaper, it will turn green ...

The program automatically changed the wallpaper

For Android

Standard function

To begin with, it should be said that on a number of phones (Samsung, Honor, BQ, etc.), the standard Android functions already have the ability to set a dynamic background home screen and screensavers .

To use this function - you need to go to the settings in the menu "Wallpaper -> Dynamic screensaver" (or "Settings -> Display -> Wallpaper"). 👇

Settings - wallpaper - dynam. splash screen

Further, as a rule, it is required to indicate only the theme of the wallpaper: landscape, animals, food, etc. (in my example below the "Landscape" section was selected).

Dynamic lock screen

Actually, after that: every time you pick up your phone, the wallpaper on the screensaver will be different. Which, of course, does not let you get bored and often surprises 😉 ...

The wallpaper started to change 👌

With the help of specials. BY

If you did not find anything like this in the standard options (as in the screenshots above), you will need a special.👉 Wallpaper Changer app (link to Play Market).

After downloading and installing it, you will only have to choose the time (after which the wallpaper will change) and specify the folder (directory) from which you should take pictures.

Note: the app allows you to change the wallpaper on both the home screen and the splash screen (👇).

Application setup

In my example, I added several folders from the phone camera, Viber and screenshots. The application automatically found 163 images suitable for setting the background. Well, what will go! 😉

Images added. Everything!

By the way, as an alternative to Wallpaper Changer, you can also recommend the application "Wallpapers (Google)" (link to Google Play). This application contains several thematic catalogs with high-quality photos (which are updated weekly!).
