How do I periodically change my wallpaper to random motivational text?

Question

Is there a Windows software that randomly changes the wallpaper and puts a random text on top of it? I should be able to enter this text (just a list of quotes).

The purpose is to constantly remind me of some short-term goals (like right now, I have a one-month goal that requires me to constantly remember every day).

Basically something like this but for Windows (bonus points if it also works on MacOSX).

Answer 1

Get a desktop wallpaper changer (such as cross-platform Wally), and use this collection of motivational wallpapers recently featured by Lifehacker:

Minimal Wall Is A Collection of Simple (and Often Motivational) Wallpapers

If you're using Windows 7, you can use the built-in desktop wallpaper changer, and just download the collection of wallpapers to your computer and create a theme. Short and sweet.

Answer 2

if you're running windows xp there's a powertoy for that. Its native to 7. totally no idea about vista. Presumably you'd have to hack together some way to have the motivational text in the wallpaper.

Answer 3

Heave you heard of Active Desktop?

Create an HTML (with JavaScript) page that shows your quotes randomly. Set this HTML file as Active Desktop wallpaper.
