The randomness is not crucial.... it is the automation that matters most, i.e. the ability to change, at boottime or every hour, the wallpaper without user intervention. This was readily done with WB6. Random selection is just ad additional plus. Also I have read somewhere in these forums that the functionality is still present in WB7 but there is no UI for it: so it's just a matter of a small combo list being added in some corner of the interface for wallpapers? Good news and bad new

Neil, you're telling me it's just a matter of a small combo list being added in some corner of the interface for wallpapers? Good news and bad news at the same time..... Why leave it out when so little an effort was required? Could you please tell what is the timeframe to have the automatic wallpaper change re-enabled (the randomness is not that crucial - even if it changed wallpapers in the list in alphabetical order it would be OK- it's the automatic change that matters)?

I am sorry, I have posted on this issue in another thread before spotting this one. And alas here I found what I was fearing... wallpaper changer gone from WB7, without even Stardock telling you the news. I can understand that wallpaper changing was not the core business of WB, but at least you should inform people when removing some functionality from an upgrade. All in all, knowing this I would at least have considered keeping my trusted WB6.4 until this was reintrod
Sorry if I squeeze myself into this discussion.... but it seems to be quickly answered by Neil, so.... why not another small annoyance? I recently upgraded to WB7 from 6. Where should I look for the wallpaper changing functionalities that were readily available in WB6? I cannot seem to find them....
I used wallpaper functionalities of WB6, even though you had to keep the file list under some 400 items to allow the program to read it. The problem is, after paying a few good dollars to upgrade to WB7, I have been searching the wallpaper change functions in it without success. Did it quietly disappear, or it's my own fault at not finding it?!?!?!? Any hints welcome....
