Quick hobeling of code with some clean-up has led to release of 1.0 of Randomized Desktop. The file can be downloaded from here. Just unzip and run the exe file to install the program. The code for the program can be downloaded from here. This will be a continual work and customization. Currently what is on the board is to recursivly search through all folders underneath the parent directoy which is choosen.

This will work on Windows XP and Windows Vista without any modification. It does require .NET framework 2.0 and will check for those dependencies before installing, and if it needs them, will download them from Microsoft’s site before trying to install the program.

I can almost guarantee that it will be a little buggy at first. What program is 100% perfect 1.0? Would be in a perfect world, but alas its not. Here are the supported features:

1. Select a directory(multiple even) to display pics from
2. Customize the time between desktop changes
3. Remove directories of pictures that are no longer in use
4. Manually advance the picture
5. Pause the timer

So. Any other things that should be added? (note, I will be cleaning up the source as I get time to do so. Its a little ugly right now, but it does work)
