ThetaWall is a highly customizable wallpaper changer

Windows 7 testers already have wallpaper slideshows at their disposal. Users of previous versions have plenty of freeware options to add automatic wallpaper changing to their desktops - like extremely flexible ThetaWall.
Apart from changing the all-important basics like the interval between changes and auto-scaling, Thetawall can also generate collages from your images. It also plays well with dual monitor setups, automatically detecting wallpapers designed for display across two monitors. For an inbotrusive heads-up date display, you can check off the "add calendar to primary screen" option.
The download also includes a screensaver, allowing you to view your images and collages when your system is idling. One downside: ThetaWall only looks for images in the folder you launch it from and its subfolders. You can, of course, set up a hard link to point at your existing image folders instead of copying them with a utility like Link Shell Extension.
ThetaWall is a free download for Windows and requires the .NET framework.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

This is a brilliant idea. I'm surprised no one has thought of it before. It means I don't have to concern myself with whether a picture is available in "wallpaper sizes" in order to use it as wallpaper.

Checked it out, but I still don't think it is close to John's Background Switcher:
