Screensavers automatic change program. How to install wallpapers for the phone (Android)

Wallpaper on Android is a part of the user interface that can be safely changed "for yourself" at any time and day. Since by default, most of the applications (games / programs) of this operating system are not located on the main screen with widgets, and in the window specifically allotted for them, the user is forced, when interacting with android device, the first thing to pay attention to the start screen T .. Android Desktop, where wallpapers are located, widgets and control panels / notifications.

Why wallpapers are important for the interface?

It does not matter how many applications labels or a variety of widgets will be located on the main screen of the device - wallpapers will be visible to the naked eye, one way or another. If the standard wallpaper distracts you from everyday tasks or simply do not satisfy by any parameters, that is, it makes sense to install other wallpapers for Android other than those that are built into Android still in the "box".

Types of wallpaper

Before you directly begin the search and installing new wallpapers, we have to determine what type of wallpaper is needed or is more interesting. At the moment there are two main types of wallpaper for Android devices: static - the picture of any size and "live wallpaper" - ready animation with the possible options for controlling moving particles and other graphic elements.

Of course, the second option seems more attractive, at least at first glance, but there is one thing - the animation requires additional resources and processor, and the graphics accelerator. Relieve that it is more profitable, picture or beautiful animation due to Android performance, only you.

One of the easiest ways to find a pre-optimized for smartphones and tablets Wallpapers is the installation of special applications for Android any versions. In such programs, the database is on the server and each image is trimmed in advance under the optimal format. We recommend using the Zedge program. It is free, and her base will satisfy even the most picky user.

Installing Online Wallpaper with Zedge

Already after installation on the main screen of the application there are sections of ordinary wallpaper, live wallpaper, as well as ringtones, sounds of notifications and thousands of android games. We are also interested in the first two sections and, if in the living wallpaper section there are only a little more than a thousand wallpaper units, there are tens of thousands of pictures in standard static wallpapers, which can be installed in several clicks:

Installing Magic Wall

Let's install the program and see what and how it does.

Download the archive Magicwall.zip. And unpack it at a convenient place on the disk. In the resulting folder, launch an extension installer eXE And in the appearing windows, press the "Next" buttons (between the case we accept the "License Agreement" of the Switch permutation).

At the end of the installation, click "Install" and in the next window we refuse Yandex.Bar (remove the first tick opposite the inscription "Install Yandex.Bar").

Magic Wall interface

The main program window will appear before us:

So, what do we see here?

Tab "Wallpaper"

The Magic Wall interface reminds the interface of the usual image viewing program. That is, at the top of the window - the menu, on the left - the album manager, on the right - the sketches of the wallpaper with the control buttons of wallpaper.

Let's start with simple, with the album manager. Using its buttons, we can create and delete albums or move them to the list. If you click on the name of the album, you can collapse or deploy it.

It is clear that the albums do not make sense by themselves, wallpapers should be stored in them. So let's create for an example some album and put one picture into it.

In the album manager, click the blue plus game to create a new album. This window will appear:

We enter the desired name of the album (for example: "Kote") and click "OK". In the "Wallpaper" section will appear a new album:

Now you need to put some picture in this album. In our case, it will be a picture with a cat. We just grab it with the mouse, drag on the name of the album and let go. Now our cat is located in the album "Kote". But, at the same time, he stayed in the album "all." That is, the picture itself lies where she lay, only an entry about her in a new album appeared.

Okay. Now let's add more cats in the same album that you already have on your computer. To do this, go to the sketches of wallpaper (right part of the program window). Here we can add a separate picture ("Add a photo" button) or a whole folder with pictures ("Add folder").

Set button "Set" Sets the selected picture on the desktop (if several pictures are selected, the last one of them will be installed).

The last button on this list "Delete" - removes the picture from the sketches (but not from the hard disk).

So, with the "Wallpapers" tab, we figured out, go to the next.

Tab "Collections"

This tab is a mini-browser that opens the developer's website page from which you can download and install new wallpapers.

On this page, you can choose the section of interest, for example, the same "animals / running / kittens", among all kittens choose the wallpaper you like and click on it to look in an enlarged form. If the cat made you - press it again and the program itself will offer to download the picture. We agree to its proposal and the picture is added to our album, at the end of the album "All", from where it can be installed on the desktop.

Tab "Login to System"

The next interesting opportunity is to set the background to the user selection screen when entering the system.

Tab "Settings"

In the last tab, you can configure technical moments, like startup when Windows startup, wallpaper change parameters, image location and background.

Management of the program through the tray

To change the wallpaper or change the program settings, it is not necessary to search for its label. If the settings are loading along with Windows, the program icon will be in the tray (in the lower right corner of the screen). By clicking on it with the left button, you can see such a window:

In it, you can change the wallpaper on the desktop without opening the main program window.

If you right-click, another window will appear.

With it, you can make some things available from the main window, plus update the program and view information about the developer.

Here, in principle, everything that can be done in this program.

Advantages and disadvantages of the program

  • interesting chips like installing the background for login screen or scattering pictures on the screen;
  • simple and understandable interface;
  • the ability to select and download new wallpaper directly in the program;
  • convenient sorting albums.
  • not a very rich selection of wallpapers on the site;
