John’s Background Switcher (or JBS for short) periodically changes the wallpaper on your computer (like every hour or every day) to something interesting. JBS sits in your system tray (down by the clock) and changes your background at the time interval of your choosing.

Comments and Reviews
the best I found for two monitors.
Love this app- but it's free, not freemium. If you choose not to buy a license, the app remains fully functional.
At least for what I have been wanting to use it, John's Background Switcher have been my to go program for years now. I wanted an app where it would use my handpicked pictures and after half a day it would switch them around to another. It is lightweight, sits hidden in the system tray and if you double click it's icon, it will replace the backgrounds, in case I wanted to flip through some of them manually. Also, if you have multiple monitors, it will place different backgrounds on each of them.
I am giving it 5 stars, but again, only for what I wanted to use it for, as I have never delved into it fetching pictures online from different sources.
For some reason the 'like' function is not working on John's Background Switcher...
Great tool! A really nice feature is the support for two monitors - it is possible to show different wallpapers on each monitor.
Your pictures showed by this software can be scaled a certain way.
