flickr slideshow

flickr slideshow is a gadget specifically designed for Yahoo! Widget Engine, which enables users to look up photographs on the Flickr website by tag. It has a simple set of options.

After it gets integrated with the Yahoo! Widget Engine sidebar, the app brings up a small horizontal frame on the screen, which includes the search tool. It's necessary to type or paste from the Clipboard a tag to take into account when browsing all galleries in the file hosting image website.

The action can be confirmed by pressing the Enter key. This triggers the widget to open a webpage in the user's default browser, revealing a slideshow with multiple pictures that match the specified tag.

There are no special options implemented for this gadget. Instead, users can explore and take advantage of the standard settings available for all tools built for Yahoo! Widget Engine.

It's possible to hide or close the widget, make its frame stay on top or below any other active windows, disable user interaction by ignoring all mouse events and preventing mouse dragging (can be moved by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking and dragging), as well as adjust the opacity level by moving a slider.

The Yahoo! Widget Engine project has been discontinued. However, the last version can still be downloaded and installed to be able to use flickr slideshow to look up Flickr pictures by tag. The gadget shall not receive further updates.
