Windows 11 gives you a spectacular, unique image on your lock screen and desktop daily with Windows Spotlight. Alternatively, you can get stunning desktop backgrounds on your PC from the daily Bing Wallpaper images. But did you know that you can choose photos from either source?
Yes, you can get the best of both Windows Spotlight and Bing images to showcase on your PC—all it takes is the nifty Dynamic Theme app. So, let's explore how to get the Dynamic Theme app and create a customized visual experience on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC.
Get the Free Dynamic Theme App for Spectacular Wallpapers
Dynamic Theme is a great app to access new and stunning wallpapers for your Windows PC. This app is one of the finalists in the 2022 Microsoft Store Community Choice App Awards.
You can download this free app from the Microsoft Store—search for Dynamic Theme and install it—or download it from the official Dynamic Theme Microsoft Store page.
Once installed, launch Dynamic Theme via Windows Search or pin the app to your taskbar for easy operation. The interface is simple to understand and use and similar to Windows settings. Plus, some cool features and settings add to the app's seamless experience.
You also get the flexibility to get the pictures to change automatically or at a specific time each day. And if you use Dynamic Theme on different devices, you can synchronize your picture settings between your devices.
How to Get Windows Spotlight Images on Your Windows 10 Desktop
The Windows Spotlight feature was introduced in Windows 10 but only for the lock screen. Even today, it is only available as an option for the Windows 10 lock screen. But with the Dynamic Theme app, you can configure it to enjoy Windows Spotlight images on your Windows 10 desktop.
Moreover, you can also set daily Bing wallpapers as your desktop background.
How to Use Bing Wallpapers, Windows Spotlight, or Your Photos as Your Desktop Background
You can change your desktop background daily by getting Bing wallpapers directly from Microsoft or using Windows Spotlight. With this, you get picturesque landscapes, vibrant wildlife, contemporary city shots, natural wonders, world-famous landmarks, and even NASA images of outer space on your desktop and lock screen.
Moreover, there are unique customization options—you can have a dynamic desktop background, lock screen picture, or both, with daily Bing or Windows Spotlight pictures. Or you can pick a specific Bing or Spotlight photo that you like.
You can even set a preference for the source of these images. Yes, you can select either the current culture of your country or explore pictures from the regional cultures of other countries. You can also be notified with a thumbnail when a new image gets updated.
But if you're tired of random pictures taken by strangers, you can also use your personal photos on the Dynamic Theme app. You can even create a folder so you can make your own slideshow.
View Pictures Anytime and Save Them as Your PC Wallpaper
Dynamic Theme offers the convenience of exploring many Windows Spotlight and Bing pictures whenever possible.
Once you're on the Background page, Lock screen page, Daily Bing picture, or Daily Windows Spotlight picture page, you'll see the preview of the current image along with its description at the top of the screen.
Click the Show History link under the picture description to see a fullscreen preview of the picture. You can then use the left and right arrow keys under the picture to view all the Bing or Windows Spotlight images in the history.
If you like a picture, click Share to send it, or Save to download it to your PC. Alternatively, you can choose Save the picture to the default location so Windows will quickly download it to your default photos folder. You can also click the meatball menu and either pick Set as lock screen or Set as background if you wish. These options are also available when you right-click on the image.
So now, you don't need to wait for a new picture to get updated. If you feel like changing your desktop look, browse the picture history and save a stunning image as the background.
Dynamic Theme also gives you the Autosave option. It automatically saves the daily Bing or Windows Spotlight picture in the default folder or any folder on your PC. It's handy if you'd prefer not to save the images manually.
Transform Your Windows Experience With Amazing Wallpapers
The Dynamic Theme app is like a gateway to some of the most amazing wallpapers you can get for your Windows PC—and it's free. So, try it out and see how it brightens your Windows experience as you enjoy the views on your lock screen and desktop.
