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.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

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:
