Johns Background Switcher puts beautiful full-screen photos and stunning montages on your desktop. Choose the photos from your own collection on your Mac or websites like Flickr, Unsplash, Pixabay, SmugMug, Vladstudio, Google Photos and many more besides. Youll never know whats coming next - maybe photos from a recent holiday, landscapes from far and distant lands, pictures of small kittens or equally small dogs. If youre having a tough day, just take a look at your desktop and Johns Background Switcher will get you through it!

Main features include:
• Show single photos or a variety of randomly generated beautiful montages on your desktop
• Choose photos from folders on your Mac, from iPhoto (old skool) or the new Photos app
• Rich Flickr, Unsplash, SmugMug, Pixabay, Vladstudio, Pinterest, Pexels, Wallhaven, Dropbox, OneDrive (personal) and Google Photos integration
• Media RSS photo feeds (so you can use a great many more photo sites)
• Multiple monitor support (show the same background all monitors, different pictures on each monitor or only on one monitor)
• Switching intervals from every 10 seconds to 7 days
• A variety of post processing effects like grayscale, sepia and desaturation
• Lots of new features in the works for future versions (I have a list as long as your arm!)

Once set up JBS quietly runs in the background changing your desktop and stays out of your way. If you dont love it, tell me what youd like it to do from the support link and Ill add it as soon as I can! And remember, Im a real person called John so be nice. :)

Latest version Johns Background Switcher: 4.1.1

This version fixes a few bugs and a couple of crashes that cropped up. Lets call it a minor, stability release. If I was lazy Id have said "bug fixes and performance improvements" but that would be too dull! The full details are below.

• Fixed a couple of crashes when changing preferences tab and closing the preferences
• Fixed an issue where missing metadata resulted in Google Photos integration ignoring some photos
• JBS now embeds all the fonts it needs following problems loading them on some systems for captions
• Fixed a hang when pasting text into a drop down list
• Some general performance improvements to the image processing

If you have any problems or suggestions then dont hesitate to contact me at [email protected] and Ill gladly help you out!
