"PictureWidget" is another one of my 'bloated' programs that I made with
Hollywood 3.0. I hope you enjoy it!

PictureWidget can display either a single image or a random slide show of
various images. If you click on the PictureWidget (or if your mouse rests over
it without movement), a control panel is displayed from which you can adjust
various things such as the delay between pictures in the slide show, the widget
location and size, etc.

*Hint: If you resize while holding F1, then the new width is used and the height
is adjusted proportionately; and if you resize while holding F2, then the new
height is used and the width is adjusted proportionately.

If you want to have PictureWidget launched at start-up, just drag the
"WBStart_PicWid" icon (script file) into your WBStartUp drawer---BUT BE SURE TO
SET THE PATH OF THIS SCRIPT TO THE LOCATION OF PICTUREWIDGET ON YOUR HARD DRIVE
(using a text editor like NotePad). You may also want to adjust the "wait" time
in this script depending on what else is being launched from the WBStartUp
drawer.

Thanks go to...

History:
Version 1.6 (9/10/08):
*Fixed a transparency bug that shows up in OS 4.1.

Version 1.5 (1/30/08):
*Finally, with the new functionality offered in Hollywood 3.0, I've been able to
replace the ugly resizer frame with a Reaction one.

Version 1.4 (1/16/08):
*Fixed a bug that would show up when viewing large lists of pictures.

Version 1.3 (12/18/07):
*Added the ability to use "prebuilt" picture frames---two such frames are
included ("redwood" and "bluewood" from A-Foto on Linux).
*Fixed a bug that would show up when displaying full-size images if the path to
that image had spaces in it.

Version 1.2 (12/14/07):
*PictureWidget now detects and uses a picture's alpha-channel when present.
*Under the flashlight button the option was added to view the current image
full-size. This will launch whatever program you have set in your DefIcon prefs
to view the picture file on a double-click.
*Under the window frame button the option was added to use a bitmapped graphic
as a pattern for the frame. (If you decide not to use any pattern, choose
nothing in the pattern requester).

Version 1.1 (12/2/07):
*Fixed a small bug that could show up after removing a picture from the list

Version 1.0 (11/25/07):
*First Attempt
