You probably know that WindowBlinds is the best way to change the visual style for Windows Vista and XP, but did you also know it can also help you manage your wallpaper collection as well? Yep, WindowBlinds 6 has it's own wallpaper manage built right in. It's had this feature for a while, but with the new UI layout in WindowBlinds 6, things look just a bit different than in previous versions.
Lets take a walk through the wallpaper section in WindowBlinds 6, and let me show you how you can use it to make the process of managing your wallpapers a little easier.

Wallpaper section |
As seen in the screenshot above, the wallpaper tab in WindowBlinds will present two other tabs. We will start off in the "Change my wallpaper" tab, which should be the default selection. There are two different views for the wallpaper area, one with a preview section and one without. Which you use is a matter of your preference, but you can easily switch between them by clicking the button seen in the screenshot below.

Wallpaper section with preview |
By default, you should see wallpapers from the Windows directory, WindowBlinds directory, and others in the wallpaper section. Bring up the wallpaper settings window by clicking the tool icon.
This will bring up a dialog where you can add and delete folders which contain images that you would like to use as wallpapers. The drop-down menu is where you can set the images to tile, stretch, center, or use the smart mode.

Changing the wallpaper is easy. Once you have selected the image you want, just double-click the image and your wallpaper will change to that image. If you want to mix it up a bit, move over to the "Random wallpaper settings" tab. Here you can set the wallpaper to change at certain times and actions.
- Change the wallpaper every time you logon
- Change the wallpaper on a Monday morning.
- Change the wallpaper every hour
- Change the wallpaper every morning
Just use the drop-down menu to select which setting to use. To select the images to use in the random settings, just double-click the wallpaper image and a check will appear by images that will be used.
