Love UltraMon can't live with out it to be honest. I was browsing through all the wallpaper combos I have saved... and I thought I should create an addon for UltraMon that would cycle through my saved wallpapers at a user set time frame, that way I could have a fresh wallpaper every 6 hours or so...
Then I remembered, I am not a programmer...
So I though I would come to the forum and see if any smart people agree and want to build it.
What do ya think big thinkers is it worth the time?

i'll agree that i don't want to spend the time to build it. :-D
actually, there's nothing proprietary about the ultramon wallpaper. when you create multi-monitor wallpapers under ultramon, all the proggie does is 'stitch' them together into 1 image file.
i haven't tried it but i would think any ordinary wallpaper changer will work and change it after a certaininterval like you want it. the only thing you'd lose is the ability to 'manage' the wallpapers under ultramon.

What Tantalus mentioned should work fine, another option would be to use the ChangeWallpaper script to switch to the next wallpaper.
It would also be possible to modify the script to automatically change the wallpaper every 6 hours, let me know if you would be interested in this.
A wallpaper changer will be considered for UltraMon 3.

Any thought to using a directory and randomly changing wallpaper?

Support for this will be considered for a future release.
