I Description_____________________

Automatically change the wallpaper according to the current season.
Support any resolution ; JPG or BMP formats.


II How does it work_______________

The program execute on system startup, read the current date and
the name of the current wallpaper. If the wallpaper filename contains a
season name (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) that doesn't match the
current season, the program browse the Wallpaper subfolder, and set as
wallpaper the first file containing the name of the current season.

The program is written in C, so the startup time overhead is very small :
around 15ms when the wallpaper doesn't need to be changed. If the current
wallpaper doesn't contain a season name, the program won't try to do
anything, assuming we aren't currently in a set of seasoned wallpapers.
Seasons changing dates are assumed to be always the 21st March, 21st June,
21st September and the 21st December.


III Usage__________________________

a) Unzip the archive
b) Put a set of four JPG of BMP images in the "Wallpapers" subfolder ;
all the filenames are case-insensitive ("Spring" will work as well as
"spring").
c) Run the file "register.bat" to execute the program on every startup.
d) Ensure then that your current wallpaper is seasoned (i.e. its
name contains a season name).

That's all ! Your wallpaper will change automatically on the new season.


IV Example_________________________

An excellent set of seasoned wallpapers has been made by Kol.

V Command-line switches____________

The command-line switches help you to register or unregister the program on
startup. A more-detailled help is available in the console version of the
program with the switch "/?" or "/help".


V Console_________________________

The message console, which provide some informations about the internal
of the program and the error messages, is not displayed by default. You
must use the "/console" switch to enable it, otherwise no message will be
displayed.
Note that "/help" is equivalent to "/console /help".


V License__________________________

This program is set under the terms of the GPL license.
