Spews is short for S Process Excluding Wallpaper Switcher. The developer says that you can replace the S with whatever you want. But that is not important. What’s important is what the application does. The nice thing here is that you can figure it out from the name.

As the latter part of the name points out, this application is a wallpaper switcher – it will automatically switch from one wallpaper to another, based on the time setting you specify.
And now, the first part of the application’s name; it refers to the fact that if a specific process is running, the application will not change the wallpaper.

Spews does not have to be installed and that, of course, makes the application portable. To get started with Spews you need only download an archive, extract its contents, and run the Spews executable.

Spews takes images from the folders you specify and uses them as your wallpaper. At the top of the application’s interface, there’s a section that allows you to add/remove image folders and view a list of selected image folders.

Spews will automatically switch from one wallpaper to another. The midsection of the interface allows you to select just how often. You can set it so the wallpaper will be changed every 20 seconds, every 5 minutes, or ever 2 hours for example.

The midsection of the interface also allows you to play with a few other options: start applications with Windows, start minimized, minimize to tray, scale/stretch/center wallpaper, select fill color, enable wallpaper switching at startup.

Down at the bottom of the interface there’s a section that allows you to specify processes. If one of these processes is running, Spews will not change the wallpaper.

And way down of the interface there’s a button that says “Enable wallpaper switching”. After you set everything up just the way you want it, click this button and enjoy. Spews will use the images from the folders you specify, will switch between wallpapers based on the settings you indicate, and will stop switching wallpapers when a certain process is running.

Spews is freeware. Cons:
None that I could think of.

Pros

Spews does not have to be installed; this makes the application portable. The interface is very easy to figure out. Spews will automatically switch the wallpaper based on your specifications. Spews will not switch the wallpaper if a certain process is running. Spews is freeware.

Cons

ider making a donation if you enjoy using this application. I don’t see what’s not to like about Spews. It is portable, it is very easy to use, it works as advertised, and it is free.
