You can make you own, using:
success =3D w32Func (xSystemParametersInfo, {SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER,
0, dest_fname, 0})
and use FreeLib to convert jpg to bmp.
Then you could set Windows scheduler to execute this program every hour.
I wrote a program which sets desktop wallpaper from jpg image and writes=
=20
today's date onto image.

Hi there Tone,
You can use my Jpg decoder too, as this makes another file from
your Jpg file (i think it was named Als_DJ.exe) and it's a small
exe file.
I'm finding the GD lib to be faster when you want to display a
jpg though, but the darn lib is over 700k. Im thinking of
building a smaller version that only does decoding perhaps.
Take care for now,
Al

That's because Windows does not include all the wonderful libraries the
world of *nix has. In fact, the FreeType library takes up almost half of the
DLL (359 K). LibPNG is 167K, JpegLib is 137K, and Zlib takes up a whopping
63K. The actual GD part is only 202K. All compiled together, it gets lumped
into a DLL of 711K. I believe I put a small note (perhaps too small) in
there that if you wanted a smaller version, I could compile it for you.

You have to define it yourself, it's not in Win32lib.
Get Win32 API manual, like MSDN.
global constant xSystemParametersInfo =3D registerw32Function(user32,=20
"SystemParametersInfoA", {C_UINT, C_UINT, C_POINTER, C_UINT}, C_INT )
I don't know anything about CxImage.

Thanks, Tone...
I downloaded your image editor... but I can't figure out how you use the=
=20
freeimage utility...
would it be difficult to load a jpg (or other file format, for that matter)=
=20
into a euphoria program, and save it as a bitmap?
I don't want to manipulate it any way at this stage, I'm just looking at=
=20
directly converting it.
