Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a great, simple app that changes your desktop wallpaper based on sunrise and sunset. Simply drag and drop your favorite wallpapers into the Sunscreen preferences and it will do the rest. Sunscreen supports assigning your own wallpaper to five different periods of the day. You can individually customize the wallpaper to be used at sunrise, morning, afternoon, sunset and night. If you want to skip some periods and leave the wallpaper alone, you can simply leave one of these periods blank. For example, if you leave Afternoon blank, the wallpaper for Morning will also be used for Afternoon. The Sunscreen screen is completely unobtrusive and doesn't get in the way. It runs exclusively in the menu bar and leaves your Dock free of extra clutter.
