![]() ![]() ![]() Now, I can put them all in my CrosPaper Google Photos album, select that as my only source for my wallpaper slideshow, set the refresh rate to daily, and see all of my wallpapers in my full collection on a regular basis. I have a nice collection of photos I use as my Chromebook wallpapers on a rotating basis. It’s a nifty and handy trick that I plan on using full time from this point on. Alternatively, you can create an album, name it “CrosPaper for Chrome OS” and anything in that album will show up if you’ve selected the Google Photos album option for your slideshow. You can put photos in an album that the extension creates for you once you’ve uploaded anything to Google Photos via the CrosPaper extension. Sure, I know you can save the image and then go to your wallpaper app or files app and set the background from there, but this quick-click-and-set functionality is really, really sweet in use.Īdditionally, CrosPaper introduces some other categories that you can choose from for your wallpaper slideshow if you choose to let the extension cycle through photos for you. While the ability to set a moving background is the big headline, the real star of the show for this extension is the ability it gives you to simply right-click any image on the web and immediately set it as a wallpaper. The best part of this extension: online photo grabs and custom slide shows CrosPaper basically extracts all the frames from your video, uploads them to a Google Photos album, and you then select your live wallpaper from the same Google Photos album once the extension creates it for you. This process is simple enough, but once you’ve set it and accept the beginning and end, you’re in for some waiting. You’ll need to link a Google Photos account first, find the video you want set as the background, then use CrosPaper’s video editor to set the start/stop time of the video you choose. If you don’t mind hunting for and working with short videos that you’d like as a backdrop, however, the extension does eventually deliver on the promise of live wallpapers once you get through all the steps.Īnd for live wallpapers, there are quite a few steps. And it’s a tad bit labor intensive, so if you are looking for a quick, simple live wallpaper solution, this probably isn’t your thing. Important: School and work accounts can't access the screen saver option.You can get the extension here, but you’ll need to sign up for the $1/month subscription in order to leverage the live wallpaper function. ![]() To use all the same settings, including wallpaper, on every Chromebook that you sign in to, turn on Sync everything.
