Wallpaper Rotator widget for Windows
Windows can slideshow a folder, but it buries the setting and gives you no control once it is running. This widget puts the controls on your dashboard: choose a folder, pick an interval from one minute to daily, shuffle or go in filename order, and set how the image should fit. Thumbnails of every wallpaper in the folder let you jump straight to one; next, previous and pause do what they say, and a countdown shows when the next change is due. The timer runs in the app's background process, so the rotation keeps going while the dashboard is minimised to the tray.
