Welcome to the John’s Background Switcher for Windows beta program! This is a chance to test the next version of JBS before it’s released and let me know of any bugs or problems you find so that other people won’t.
Each time a new beta version is released you’ll find yourself back at this page and you can download the latest installer below:
(Version 5.5.0.13 – 39MB)
Any problems or questions, just send an email to support@johnsadventures.com and mention you’re running a beta version.
