This is something i really am missing now a days on MOS.
Is this 68k package usable? or do we have something Mos Native that i haven't heard about?
Will this feature be a part of 2.0? anyone know?

If this program is only about having random background images, then there are quite a number of alternatives out there.

Haven't checked if it works on 1.4.5 but there's filepick, you can give it a go. I used it back then to have random MUI backgrounds.

The trick is, the background image file path remains the same, you just replace it with another image. The user startup line that did the trick to me looked like:

copy > NIL: `c:filepick Drive:Backdrops/#?` Drive:targetfile.jpg

You stored the random backgounds in Backdrops, and set targetfile as your backdrop. It will be replaced with a random one at each startup.

Hope it helps.

you can change the background in newer Ambient builds automatically
Ambient-settings -> Background -> desktop
select a dir with images and set time to change the background

You don't need to wait for MOS2.0.

That feature is part of latest Ambient for quite a while.

Just open Ambient Preferences and enter Background page. Instead of specifing a
file specify a drawer with images.

The slider below allows to setup the change rate.
