Hi guys,

I've just developed a Qt4 wallpaper changer that can use files, folders, Flickr community photos and Yahoo! images. Gnome, KDE and Win32 environments are supported (MacOSX w.i.p.). XFCE code is present, but partially working.

You can find my project at the following links:

http://www.becrux.com/index.php?page...cts&name=wally
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wally

Qt 4.4.0 and Libexif 0.6 are the only dependencies.

If anyone has some suggestions for MacOSX (I mean, how to change background), I'll be very glad

If you like it, please send me your feedbacks, suggestions or critics

Regards,
Tony.

Maybe you should create a plugin infrastructure so that others could write plugins for your application?

By the way, I didn't really like the user interface of the application last time I looked at it (1.0, I guess...). I understand you are trying to mimic the original application, but its interface is really bad It'd be better if you kept the functionality but changed the GUI.

[becrux]

Well, I replicated it cause I liked it since first day!

Of course, the original software is much more complicated (well, it's 3.x.x version, I need time ), I cannot think about something better to show all settings you can modify.

Anyway, any ideas? Maybe yours can be much more attractive ... Just give me some hints, you can draw a draft, anything that can be useful, and we can discuss about that, if you want.

Tony.

P.S.: Wysota, I followed partially your suggestion, changing the background of the left panel. Thanks so much for your idea

[fullmetalcoder]

I got one suggestion for you : use a single thread for release announcements instead of spawning a new one everytime you make a new release. You started 4 threads already and got only three answers out of ALL of them so one thread would be more than enough...

[wysota]

Good point. Threads merged.

Thank so much

I'm too talkative!
