Very much like this. Don't want to take up RAM in order to have a rotating background, but this program can be setup to work and then terminate.

Command line options that are also nice:

/s It exits soon after changing the wallpaper at the Windows logon.
/d It exits soon after updating the calendar.

Also, available calendar options looks good.

Hi,
I used to have bgcall on my machine for a while (Windows 7 64 bits), and suddenly, it don't work anymore. I can see by opening the windows of the software, that it has move up a wallpaper in the list, but new wallpaper is not applied.
Is somebody encountered this problem ?
(sorry for my "wavering" english)


EDIT : For those they have the same bug : It seems I have found the reason : Bgcall run well now, after I have suppressed a folder named Bgcall, within a file Bgcall.ini in that directory : C:\Users\"your login"\AppData\Roaming. You should have only one Bgcall.ini, right in the directory of Bgcall.

I haven't tested it extensively on that OS. You might reach out to the dev:
