Add support in the wallpaper setting screen to use timed wallpapers. It would be great if you could select a folder of wallpapers and then choose how long you see one wallpaper before it transitions to the next and so on. Right now we have something similar with the Slideshow feature, but since the transitions are not tied to a specific time, but rather a certain duration after it's set, it doesn't allow for the effect of and night and day wallpaper like I'm looking for.
For instance if we'd set 15 minutes. it would change the wallpaper every quarter of hour starting at 00.

As an example, I have four copies of a landscape wallpaper that depict the same landscape but at different times of the day. I have a night version, a morning, day, and dusk version. What I would like to do is set a time for each wallpaper. From Midnight to 6am I want the night wallpaper, from 6am to 8am I want the morning wallpaper, from 8am to 5pm I want the day wallpaper, from 5pm to 7pm I want the dusk wallpaper, and then from 7pm to 11:59pm I want the night wallpaper again. Then I want this to tie to the time of day that the system has so that when I turn on or wake my computer the background switches to the the appropriate wallpaper for that time frame. Right now we only have a Slideshow feature that's based on time duration while the computer is running. I can set it to transition from one wallpaper to the next in 2 or 6 hours and 15 minutes, but that will only happen when the computer is on, so any attempts at having wallpapers for certain times of day breaks.
It sounds like you're asking for the ability to approximate an automatic day/night cycle wallpaper changing feature. I think we should just implement that directly.

It would be nice to have more flexibility than just two wallpapers to swap between, but even having just that with the ability to set the times of day for when it will transition would be nice.
