BGInfo is a Windows software that overlays important system details on top of the wallpaper. It is widely used by IT professionals and network administrators to monitor multiple computers at a glance. There are instruments for selecting the desired data fields, modifying the text layout and adjusting font properties to match personal preferences.

System information

Similar to Everest, the program lets you keep track of the PC in real time. It is possible to view a wide range of internal attributes such as:

Boot time;
Default Gateway;
DNS server;
IP address;

Network speed and more.

Users can tweak the background color and reposition individual text blocks on the screen. The style and size of the main font are adjustable as well. Moreover, an option to preview the layout before applying the changes is provided.

Other functions

Custom logos and other images may be incorporated into the desktop wallpaper. This is especially helpful for branding purposes in corporate environments.

One of the most interesting features of BGInfo is the ability to record system telemetry to a separate MDB database. Resulting archives are invaluable for troubleshooting and optimization purposes.
