Photo on Desktop-7

Photo on Desktop-7 is a small software application whose purpose is to help you place an image on your desktop that remains on top of other programs. It can be installed on all Windows flavors out there.

You are welcomed by a blank panel where you need to perform a right-click in order to get access to the configuration settings. You cannot appeal to a help manual but you can decode the settings on your own because they look very intuitive.

Importing an image in the working environment can be done using the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented). The program works with the following picture formats: BMP, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG.

You are allowed to scale the image shown on the desktop by choosing between different preset values. Several tweaking parameters are hidden under the hood for helping you keep the picture on top of other programs, automatically run Photo on Desktop-7 at Windows startup, drop shadow, as well as show the date and time on the image. You may change the text color.

Tests have shown that Photo on Desktop-7 carries out a task quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you can keep it running in the background without worrying that it affects the overall performance of your computer.

To sum things up, Photo on Desktop-7 comes bundled with basic features for helping you display a user-defined photo on your desktop. The simplistic suite of options makes it suitable especially for less experienced users.

Professionals may look for something else because there’s no support for advanced features. You are not allowed to display a slideshow with multiple photos, apply special effects, specify the time duration between pictures, display a calendar, and set photos as your wallpaper, just to name a few suggestions.
