I think this is one of the best pieces of software I’ve ever run across. The first time I saw it my jaw dropped and I couldn’t wait to get back to my office to install it; I’ve been using JBS for about 4 months now and I couldn’t be happier.

FWIW, I’m a Windows Sys Admin because even though Mac might be a nice OS for grandma and children, Apple simply doesn’t see fit to play in the grownup business world, which I think is too bad.

I’d be very happy to look at an Apple NOS if they ever felt like writing one, but I hate to think what an 2500 Apple servers would do to any corporation’s IT budget.

Just discovered your Background Switcher and I’m super pleased with it. I’ve played with many programs of this type over the last 25 years, and this is the most clever implementation by far.

I am mightily impressed by your Background Switcher, having just come upon and installed it this evening. In the process, I learned about how much photographic resource I had not been aware of – anything that allows a collage-like background of personal, shared and discovered photos is great by me – I’ve barely scratched the surface on your resource and am eagerly anticipating more learning.

Many thanks

Yes, you can run JBS as a scheduled task so it’ll do exactly what you want! I wrote about how to set it up here. Also, if you’re away from your computer and the screensaver kicks in then JBS will stop switching by default so you shouldn’t miss any over night. And glad you like JBS!

Is it possible that you could add a scheduling feature. Something so that the backgrounds would change only during a certain range of time? That way, we won’t miss all our lovely backgrounds that change when we leave our computers running overnight? Just a thought.

BTW, great software. I got a friend using it just because of the dual monitor support. Now he uses it because it rotates his backgrounds. Thanks a bunch,
Theodore

Cool! It’s sort of buried away in the current version and is very easy to miss. One of the things I’m going to do in version 4.0 is make it a lot more obvious and easier to discover, as well as making the general user interface simpler and easier to use. It’s become a bit cluttered over the past few versions and some redesign is long overdue!

It works for all modes except Pictures and Yahoo!. Look near the bottom of the settings dialog and you’ll see a drop down list – click that and choose ‘Create a snapshot scrapbook’ from the list (it’s ‘Scale pictures to fit then screen’ by default). Hope that helps!
