Lightning Wallpaper Rotator
I don't know if anyone is interested in this but I wrote a little script that changes my wallpaper to a different picture of my truck every five minutes. It even fades the images in and out during the transition.
You can get the script here (BackgroundRotator.zip - 789KB).
I included two pictures of my truck in the zip file -- that's why its so big.
Once you download the zip file you must extract it to your C drive. You should wind up with a folder called C:\BackgroundRotator. Inside this folder you will find the script (bacground-rotator.html) and an images directory with two pictures of my truck.
Now set your wallpaper to this script file (background-rotator.html). Once you apply the script you will get a dialog that looks like this:
Click yes.
Now put all your favorite Lightning pictures into the images folder and enjoy!
Merry X-mas everyone! :santa:

Nice little job there chief. Too bad my far superior OSX already has that, with more than just transitions. I can have the picutures slide in and out, fizzle out and such....but not a bad job

And this weekend Im thinking about bbq'ing and throwing on some christmas mods for my truck... wanna eat some wings and have a mini mod party?

I actually wrote it during lunch though.Yeah, I know OSX already has this. I figured I would give the Window$ crowd a taste of it.

As far as this weekend, I don't know. Give me a call on friday.
What is your AIM nick? This isn't really the place for A to B conversation.
