Introduction
-----------------------------
Wallpaper Randomizer is a small system tray wallpaper changer.
It lets you:
• See a different wallpaper whenever you start Windows.
• Change wallpaper on regular intervals.
• Change wallpaper using a hotkey.
When running it for the first time, you will be prompted to specify where is
your photos or wallpapers directory.
Wallpaper Randomizer is completely unobstrusive.
It requires no installation, has no user interface and does not write anything
in the registry - All functions are controlled through the system tray menu.
You can enable or disable Walllpaper Randomizer at any time.
Supported image formats: BMP, PNG, JPG and GIF.
Technical Notes
-----------------------------
Wallpaper Randomizer uses the ToPNG command line utility
(http://www.bcheck.net/) which is included in the downloaded package.

0.20 2007 02 18
Fixed : unexpected behaviour, probably caused by unstable AutoHotkey
build - no change was done in the code, but this version is
compiled with AHK 1.0.46 instead of 1.0.46.08
0.19 2007 02 01
Added : Shift+Win+F5 shortcut for Previous Wallpaper
0.18 2007 01 31
Changed: wallpapers are now stored in a random order and are displayed
sequentially, as opposed to just generate a random wallpaper
from a list. this prevents the same wallpaper to appear twice,
unless the entire list was displayed already.
0.17 2007 01 14
Added : the state of the Pause option is now stored in the INI file.
this is useful if you only want Wallpaper Randomizer to change
your wallpaper upon system start.
You may still unpause it, or use the Refresh Now option to
change the wallpaper.
Updated: installer
0.16 2006 10 06
Changed: compiled with new LiveUpdate version - now if no internet

Removed: Sleep time before changing to new image. Was there to let the
OS recognize the new file, seems to be working fine without it.
