Desktop Picture Frame is an absolutely new concept of showing images on desktop. Now you should not spend your money and your precious time for art print of photos and for acquiring of photo frames.

You baby, your family, your beloved pet, your favourite sights of nature are always close to you on the desktop of your computer. Whatever your do and wherever you are: At home, in the office, on a trip.

Desktop Picture Frame is quite not a just another habitual slide-show program. Slide-show is docked to one of the screen corners. This software will not not annoy you or interfere with your work because it will be active only when you move your mouse pointer over it.

The program is destined for sequential show of images from the list (slide-show) with visual effects in the smooth image appearance and disappearance manner. Swapping of images goes in time intervals set by the user.

Here are some key features of "Desktop Picture Frame":

· Image is the topmost window if visible
· Omage smoothly vanishes when it feels mouse pointer upon
· Image stays completely transparent while work is upon its area
· Image softly appears when mouse pointer leaves its bounds

Requirements:

· 16-bit High Color display adapter.
· NET Framework 2.0
· Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1,
· Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 for data access applications,
· Windows Installer version 3.0.
· Pentium III 400 MHz processor,
· 96 Mbytes RAM,
· 300 Mbytes hard disk free space,

Limitations:

· The program tracks only mouse pointer positions, and does not track the position of the cursor bar during the text input, for example, in text editors, in spreadsheets editors, etc.
· The program displays only the first image from multipage images files, for example, TIFF multipage files, as well as in animation-containing files of GIF format.
· The program does not allow adding to the list and displaying files containing images less than 32x32 pixels, or those of format, which codec is not supported by .NET Framework 2.0.
· The maximum area of images displaying is limited by the half of the screen height, as the program is not intended for carrying out presentations and other similar purposes.
· Image displaying realized by the program, can affect concentration of attention and labour capacity.
