What does it do?

Changes your computer’s desktop wallpaper image randomly using your own pictures.
Images are displayed respectfully – no scrunching, mashing or big ugly pixels.

Customisable backdrops for images. You can now have a nice gradient backdrop for photos or flat shaded.
Multiple “sets” of images can be set up and switched between in a couple of clicks. Have one set showing off your recent holiday pictures, another for your baby photos.
From the notification tray you can quickly open the current image, read some metadata, delete it and more.
Automatically rotates images based on EXIF data.
You can automatically exclude small images, and limit how much images are enlarged by.
Exclude directories based on name (so your unprocessed originals won’t be shown, for example).
Optionally only show images that match screen orientation. For example, when your screen is in portrait mode, only portrait images will be shown. Useful for tablet PC owners.
Very multi-monitor friendly, images are sized for each monitor.
Crop images that are a different aspect ratio to your monitor so they completely fill the screen

Please do let me know (see my contact details).
