Care to post the background image? It seems a little blurry, I might be able to improve it.

That way, you don't miss any pictures, and it potentially saves on some processing power/battery.
The slideshow is only active when it's visible(the desktop it is on). But I'm not sure about when it's locked coz I couldn't try this in scratchbox. However, as it only listens to "notify" signal of "is-on-current-desktop" property I doubt it. Anyone who can help me on this would be much appreciated.. Thanks

I would very much love to coz I've just taken pictures from anywhere I can and all I was doing was scaling and that's the obvious outcome. Also, if you could design similar size images and allow me to use them then I would be very grateful coz then I could make the background changeable. Below's the image file:

version 0.2-2 should now be available for update. It fixes crashing of application when invalid image is encountered in the slideshow and when directory without any image file is selected in the settings dialog.

Hi,
I've just uploaded the latest version 0.2-5 of desktop-photoapplet to (NOW IN) extras-testing repository. So, plz test it out and specially to check the application when the device display is ON/OFF coz I couldn't do that myself due to the lack of device. My n810 was responding to the display state of the device but not sure about n900 and I haven't tried the whole application in n810 either just the code for the display state. I've uploaded the updated functionalities and screenshots in the #1 post.

NOTE: If you have already installed the previous version then plz
Code:
rm ~/.desktop-photoapplet.ini
before installing it. cheers!!

I just found the desktop-photoapplet.
That thread is kind of old, but is the dev still around? Anyone willing to keep on working on this one?

- It would be great to have an option to scale the frame
- I would second the random search

The developer was on forum today, so I think he may be lurking somewhere around. Although, I have no idea if he is interested in developing this further. Anyway, it's Open, so anyone knowledgeable enough can participate, no matter if developer is active or not.
