John's Background Switcher and Vladstudio wallpapers = wallpaper win
John's Background Switcher is one of my favorite Windows applications; it's a fantastic free wallpaper switcher with excellent multiple monitor support. That's a must, since I enjoy having a different wallpaper on each of my monitors.
The application can rotate wallpapers from a number of sources, such as Flickr accounts, the local hard drive, Google Images, ... and as of version 4.2, the fantastic wallpaper website Vladstudio!
I've been using Jonh's Background Switcher for about a year now, and my sources were usually just a bunch of Flickr pools. Version 4.2 was released a while back, but I didn't bother updating. I finally got around to it a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to test the Vladstudio integration. Wow, what a difference!
Now, instead of getting a bunch of weird images mixed in with my awesome wallpapers, I only get awesome wallpapers. Each and every image is beautiful and interesting, and it really changes the whole feel of the desktop. Jonh's Background Switcher can also apply effects to your wallpapers, so you can desaturate them or change them to black and white if brightly-colored wallpapers aren't part of your M.O.
I've only just scratched the surface of this great application, but John's Background Switcher is already very well-known. The point here is that if you haven't tried the Vladstudio integration feature, you absolutely should!

When this app switches wallpapers, does it take focus away from the window you're using and apply it to the desktop? I have used the Vladstudio wallpaper clocks with Dexpot and really enjoy them. However, I had to turn the feature off because the focus switching was so annoying.

Vladstudio only has low quality wallpapers, unless you pay up.
