I never used to be a big wallpaper kind of guy until I started using John’s Desktop Switcher. It’s a seriously cool app that has a ton of features like rotating your wallpaper as often as you’d like, or make a collage or photobook from your pictures. I found another app today called ‘Desktoptopia’ that is similar, but a bit more stripped down and straightforward.
The main feature I loved about it was it came preloaded with RSS feeds to their site which is a wallpaper submission site. Now John’s DS can do this too, but this one just works out of the box. It’s nice to get fresh desktops without having to search around and find them, then download them to your computer and then put them in the correct folder. You can also tell it how often to switch the wallpapers on your desktop and it understands dual monitors so you can have different wallpapers on each monitor.
Setting it up is dead simple. Just download the app and install it. Once it’s installed, open it and give it some time to update it’s RSS feeds (it crashed a couple times on me, but I think it was because I didn’t let it update itself before I started playing with it 
. If you like it, right click the icon in the system tray in Windows and tell it to auto start. I’m not sure how to do it on the Mac, but it should be similar.
