BioniX Wallpaper Changer can get hundreds of background images from the Internet and switch your desktop wallpaper at specified intervals. Using this program, you can easily create thematic playlists, filter unwanted images, sort wallpapers by file size/resolution/name/rating, rename or delete wallpapers directly from playlist, edit wallpapers, etc. It can also monitor a particular folder and automatically update the playlist when wallpapers are added to that folder.
