Description (of the application) :

Displays a photo on the desktop wallpaper in overlap manner, so that one can
have the photo of loved ones on different wallpaper images on desktop. The
overlapped photo can be sized, and positioned on desktop as required; and also
can be made semi transparent. PNG image photo with transparent color is
supported. Photo can be reloaded after every given seconds, allowing you to use
another program to overwrite the image file and auto show it.



Benefits (of using it) :

I like to have my family photo on my desktop (who don't). Now sometime I come
across a good nature image as desktop wallpaper (I like nature, abstract etc.).
To have my loved ones photo over the nature's wallpaper, I open up image editor,
adjust the two images, save and set as wallpaper, done. In another few months, I
find a breath taking image of water fall and want it as my wallpaper. Open image
editor, and ... done. When I need to change the family photo with the latest
naughty one of my son, I look for the image editor, and ... done.

Well as a developer, somewhere inside me I was not feeling good. I wanted the
benefit of both worlds and in automated manner.

Googling gave me many freeware wallpaper changers and some with collage
facility. All these does the job but not as I required. I wanted the wallpaper
to change the main background image but keep my family photo overlapped on it.

I made one, which does as required. It shows the given image overlapped on the
existing desktop wallpaper. Further one can use a wallpaper changer and have the
loved ones photo always overlapped on different wallpaper images.

My colleagues, who wanted the same but could not use image editor properly, love
it. We all have our religious photo (looks like we all turn religious as the pay
day nears), overlapped on different wallpapers on all our desktop now.


Installation (on computer) :

page to download the zip file containing the exe.
