Spice Up Your Desktop Wallpaper

[Wolfmight]

Ever heard of Webshots Desktop? You might have seen it, but dicided to ignore it thinking it's some sorta spyware scam instead, right?
Well I dicided to try it out myself and I'm amazed. It is free of charge, free of spyware, and it's got alot of neat stuff. It can rotate your desktop wallpaper 1 per new day(it does'nt hog resources and if you turn off your computer, the next day it will just rotate it automaticly).
It's even got a screensaver that swaps through all all your photos, a calendar that can sit on your desktop, etc.
It's a since to add pictures...just goto the Webshots Image Gallery (http://www.webshots.com/g/tr.html), click an image you want.. then it will load its details..then click the image and the webshots program will automaticly download and configure it for you. Quick and Simple.

Download WebshotsDesktop here (http://www.webshots.com/samplers/)
(choose from a category of pictures you want it to start out with)

Correct me if I'm wrong but previously I had webshots and it DID contain spyware !
Which tools did you check with?

Did check up new version and couldnt find spywarecomponents.
Old version used to have gatorware.

[Wolfmight]

the new one doesnt.

I used AdAware Pro 6 Corporate (i updated it today..and constantly allways)

I tried it a couple of years ago and it not only had spyware, it screwed up Windows pretty badly. I was running 98SE at the time.

[Wolfmight]

well the new one is completely clean, even The Screen Savers people recommended it: http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/answers...3420782,00.html (http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/answerstips/story/0,24330,3420782,00.html)

What for, it's BS either way.

I put it in for a trial. It looks improved. However, they still badger you continuously to upgrade to subscription basis.

Why not just paste your own stuff? I tried webshots too, but I like having fun with my desktop :P
And I like fooling around with the boot-up screen too, just change the out the: C:\logo.sys
with something else, it beats having to look at that stupid windows boot screen every time
you start up :lol:

I&#39;ve been using webshots for two years now. In that time it has never contained ad or spyware. The website does have unobtrusive advertising and there is one small pop up when you begin a download, explaining the benefits of joining.

I actually paid £12 (&#036;20) for the upgraded membership. You get unlimited high res. photos which look really sharp at 1280 * 1024 on my desktop. I&#39;m mostly into the Travel shots; i travelled all over the world for 4 years after uni. There&#39;s all sorts of stuff though.

Very highly recommended from me......
