What this program is not: Wallmagician does NOT connect to the internet, and does not find and download images.
What it is: a centralized place for all of your wallpaper images, particularly useful if your images are organized in a folder structure and you do not want to have a centralized ‘Wallpaper’ folder or folders. It is also a very convenient launchpad for your favorite wallpaper images; just run the program and select an image from the list. Each image can have its own custom positioning (center, fit, tile, auto-fit or even set a custom postion on the screen); and the program can even use any of a number of image resizing algorythms (Lanzcos/Mitchell/Nearest/Spline). Lastly, Wallmagician can start with Windows and cycle through your list of wallpaper images according to a user defined time interval.
The verdict: this program was almost not written up, because it is somewhat old and I initially thought that it didn’t have enough bells and whistles, especially when compared to the many freeware image-downloading wallpaper cycling apps out there.
However, I found myself frequently using this one to quickly switch wallpapers and to access my favorite images in a single place. I don’t particularly care for programs that auto download images (most of what they download is not particularly suitable as a background, is not my particular cup of tea, or is crap). I found myself using this one and liking it quite a bit, and I am betting that many users might as well.
