Settings Dialog - OverviewGo to www.backgroundswitcher.com

The settings dialog controls the behaviour of John's Background Switcher. You launch it from the Notification Icon Menu. Here you can decide what pictures you want to choose for your background, how often you want your background to change and how you'd like your pictures displayed.

Picture Sets

The main list shows all the picture sets you're choosing from and you can check and un-check sets to enable and disable them.

To add picture sets click the 'Add' button and choose one of the following to source your pictures from:

*  Pictures on your computer
*  Folders on your computer
*  Flickr photos
*  Facebook photos
*  Instagram photos
*  Vladstudio wallpapers
*  500px photos
*  RSS photo feeds
*  Phanfare photos
*  SmugMug photos
*  Picasa web albums
*  Google image searches
*  Pixabay photos
*  LastFm Music

After choosing a picture source that sources dialog will appear letting you select what you want to see on your background. You can create as many picture sets as you like and every time your background changes a source will be chosen at random and pictures picked accordingly.

You can edit a picture set by double-clicking on it or selecting it and clicking 'Edit'. You can delete picture sets by selecting them in the list and clicking 'Delete'. You can disable a picture set by un-checking the checkbox next to the picture set's name.

Next you can click 'Authorise' to authenticate JBS with various on-line picture sources.

You can also bring up the 'More Settings' dialog by clicking 'More' to tweak John's Background Switcher as much as you like.

Switching Options

Finally, to decide how often to switch, what background you'd like to see and any multiple monitor options, you can set the 'Switching Options'. The options are fairly self explanatory:
