DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
If you try a Shareware program and continue using it you must register.
Shareware is a distribution method not a type of software. You should find
software that suits your needs and pocketbook whether it's commercial or
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier because you can
try before you buy
and because the overhead is low and prices are low also.
Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product you don't pay for it.

hour, every 30 min or every 15 min. The program will cycle thru the specified
master directory at the specified interval. A custom timing can be created by

from timed change of wallpaper, hourly, half hourly, or custom defined by the
user. You may select a scheduled different wallpaper for each day.
.Read Me
There are several options available for the user in this program, read Timed, and
schedule to review:
If you want a scheduled change of wallpaper during the day then, set the timed
option for the desired timing and choose a master directory or create your own
master directory for bitmaps. You may want to select the minimize on startup option and then enter Wallpaper manager in your Windows startup group.
If you only want a daily change then select schedule and enter the paths for
each days wallpaper in the Sunday thru Saturday schedule, you may use the
mouse to accomplish this task, select a bitmap in the file window and then
click the day of the week.
It is possible to create custom wallpaper with the mouse, select preview of a
file and use the mouse to manipulate the upperleft corner of the preview screen,
once you select this wallpaper you will be given an opportunity to save it for
later use. Utilize the preview screen to resize the wallpaper bitmap, if the
bit map is tiled, i.e. (you have checked the Tile Wallpaper box), then click
in the upper left corner of the preview screen and drag to the right, If you
have not checked the Tile Wallpaper option, then the bitmap will be centered
in the preview screen, and you should click the lower right corner of the
bitmap and drag to the right.
