Sure, it might not be a feature you have always dreamed of having - but adding wallpaper to folders on your desktop machine sounds like a pretty neat way to customize your PC using experience to me.
Windowpaper XP is a freeware program that will allow you to get that one Windows 98 customization feature that just seems to have gone to the wayside. The ability to change the wallpaper of a folder as well as the text color of the icons in that folder.
Here are some of the features of the program from the developers.
- Intuitive 1, 2, 3 Interface – Windowpaper XP is simple to use. Simply select the folder you wish to modify, your background, your text color, and you’re set!
- Real-time preview window – Watch your changes happen as you make them!
- Change Folder Color – Just want a solid background color instead of a picture? You got it! With a simple click, you can change the folder background color to one of sixteen million supported colors.
- Batch Folder Customization – Many people have e-mailed about adding batch functionality to the new version. Well, you asked and we listened! Just check the “Include Subfolders” checkbox and you not only modify the selected folder, but all the folders in it!
- Change Folder Background Shortcut – Without opening Windowpaper, all you have to do is right click any folder on your hard drive and select “Change Folder Background…”
If you visit the official web site - you can even get a few more details about the next version, right now in the Alpha stage:
We are proud to announce the newest version of Windowpaper XP! Some features include: 1-2-3 interface, change folder background images/colors, change icon text colors, batch folder customizations, add HTML content to your folders, and more!
All in all, might not be a program for everybody - but for those who would like a touch of the “good old day” or who want to make certain folders easier to identify, this is your lucky day and the perfect freeware download for you.
