What is WPInfo?
WPInfo displays system information on the Windows wallpaper. It works similarly to BGInfo from SysInternals but it adds a few unique features:
- Picks the background image most appropriate for the current screen resolution from a configured folder.
- Overlays any number of additional images on the background (great to display a logo without stretching it).
- Configurable text box can be displayed below the information text.
- Supports image formats handled by the .Net framework, including 32bpp PNGs with an alpha channel (great for shadows).
- Plain XML configuration files.
- You have access to the c# source code!
Discontinued
The project is no longer developed. Last version, 1.1.0 beta1, released in April 2015, can be still downloaded from GitHub.

While not yet as full featured as compared to others, this project has real promise and is worth watching by Windows administrators. It appears to be on a path to be an open source version of venerable but sometimes limited BGINFO; but with the power and simplicity of closed source DesktopInfo and without the overhead and learning curve of BGINFO4x. It is being updated on github frequently so keep watching and testing...
