Great! Perfect app now)
One more wish - is it possible to change only wallpaper (optionally), not changing ambience colors? For example, i love standart Earth theme, but want to change ONLY wallpaper sometimes. But don't want to change anything else in colors in phone's theme.

Wow! Cool app! Thanks! May be add an option to change wallpaper 1 time a day too? 2h maximum is too fast for some people)
Is there a opportunity to work app without cover, as daemon?

Thanks, mate. I have added more timer options and have moved controls to events/notification area. Timer still runs via daemon with cover/Settings UI closed.
