The free WinDynamicDesktop app changes your desktop background throughout the day.
One of the favorite features of Apple users in macOS Mojave is dynamic wallpapers. When this option is enabled, the background on the Mac desktop changes as day or night falls.
Windows 10 doesn't have this feature, but it can be easily added using the tiny WinDynamicDesktop utility. This free app downloads wallpapers and automatically changes them to suit the time of day.
Install WinDynamicDesktop, and after opening the program will settle in the system tray. When you start it for the first time, it will ask you to enter the name of the city where you are, or turn on automatic location.
Then, by opening the main window, you can select the wallpaper. By default, only desert shots from macOS are available, but by clicking Get more themes online, you can download and add other backgrounds to your screen.
Installing third-party themes is very easy. Open a website with wallpapers, choose which ones you want to download, and upload the archive. Then unzip it and find the file in DDW or JSON format. Click the Import from file button in the main WinDynamicDesktop window and select the unpacked DDW. The topic will be added to the list.
So, among the third-party options for WinDynamicDesktop, you can find a changing view from the ISS (looks very impressive), a rotating Earth, panoramas of New York and San Francisco, and drawn backgrounds for fans of the Firewatch game. And especially advanced users can even create their own themes by the author of the application.
