Idle Background 1.0

Idle Background by Troupware

Idle Background keeps your desktop fresh without getting in your way. It automatically updates your wallpaper only when your PC is idle, so you never see distracting changes while you work or play. Set it once, forget it, and enjoy a clean, ever-changing workspace.

Key features

• Idle-aware updates: Change wallpapers after a customizable idle time so transitions happen only when you step away.
• Smart sources: Pull images from local folders, network drives, and custom URLs you add.
• Multi-monitor support: Apply different images per display, mirror the same image, or span a single panoramic image across monitors.
• Layout control: Choose fit, fill, center, tile, or stretch with optional smart cropping for ultra-wide and 4K setups.
• Playlists and rules: Build collections, set minimum resolution, filter by aspect ratio, exclude filenames, and shuffle intelligently.
• Schedules and triggers: Pause during work hours, on battery power, or when full-screen apps and games are running.
• Lightweight by design: Uses minimal CPU and memory, runs quietly from the system tray, and relies on native Windows features.
• Quick controls: Use tray actions or optional hotkeys to skip, pause, lock current wallpaper, or revert to a recent image.
• History and favorites: See what was used, bring back a favorite, or blacklist images you do not want to see again.
• Privacy-first: Works entirely offline with your chosen sources. No tracking and no uploads of your images.
• Easy setup: Import or export settings for backup or to share a configuration across devices.
