Wallpaper Generator

windows softwareMost wallpapers are downloaded to a computer system or created by using a photo or image that is already on the system. The portable software program Wallpaper Generator offers another possibility. It can create gradients that can then be used as the wallpaper on the local computer system.

The software comes only with a few options which makes it very easy to use. Colors are displayed on each corner of the interface which determine how the gradients will look like. A click on a color will open the Windows color picker. Changes become visible immediately. The gradient can be set as the wallpaper of the computer system after all four colors have been set to the user’s satisfaction.

A randomize button is also available which will change the colors to random colors. Wallpaper Generator is an easy to use program that could be useful to users who prefer distraction free backgrounds with more than one solid color.

Wallpaper Generator is compatible with most versions of the Windows operating system (tested on Windows XP SP3). It requires the Microsoft .net Framework 3.5 SP1.

    Hoi Martin i do not see any www link in your article do you mean to put up the link, http://www.wallpapergenerator.com/ ?

  2. Not to sound too smug, but Blackbox for Windows (bb4win) with bsetroot has done this for the last ten years… without reliance on .NET runtimes. (http://www.boxshots.org). Of course, I remember messing with something else fairly similar on KDE quite some time ago as well. Still, generative wallpaper has its attraction.
