			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/01/windows-wallpapers-from-msn/">Windows Wallpapers</a> from MSN was a Microsoft application that would provide the user with a wallpaper manager that would download new wallpapers from MSN sporadically. <a href="http://webcamwallpaper.sourceforge.net/">Web Wallpaper</a> is a similar application only that it does not use one source to download wallpapers but practically any source that the user enters in the application.</p>
<p>It was designed primarily with webcams in mind but it is basically possible to enter any url that points to an image in the application. Alternatively images from the hard drive and the current wallpaper image can be added to the list of possible wallpapers. There is unfortunately no preview of the images available which means that the best way of checking if an image link is valid is to check it in a web browser.</p>
<p>The wallpaper manager provides two options to change wallpapers automatically. It is possible to change them at system startup or every x minutes where x is a number between 3 and 30. Web wallpaper is a Java application which does have consequences. </p>
<p><span id="more-7468"></span>The application is only compatible to Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and Vista although currently but the chance of porting it to other operating systems is there. The negative aspect on the other hand is that it uses roughly 38 Megabytes of computer memory and about the same amount of virtual memory while running in minimized state which is a lot.</p>

<p>Cleaning the memory brought the computer memory usage down to 1.5 Megabytes which quickly rose to about 13 Megabytes but stayed consistent on that level. </p>
