    Photo Desktop allows you to put photos on your desktop, instead of having to choose one photo to use as your wallpaper, you can now add as many little pictures to your desktop as you want. Photo Desktop allows you to create the desktop you desire in a mini version of the desktop by dragging pictures onto it, resizing and rotating them on the spot. It also allows you to add photos by browsing your local iPhoto library. Additional features include:

    • Works behind the desktop, desktop remains fully functional, though decorated with lots of photos
    • Drag-'n-drop capabilities
    • Multi-monitor support
    • Unobtrusive, only a small menu-item remains (and of course the photo's in background)
    More information

    Another fun way of sprucing up your desktop. :yes:

    saya! i put a few na on my desktop. i guess i can't put too much coz it's a bit distracting, plus si Tux pa with all the eyes (!) on the other hand, i don't always see my desktop in full that often anyway.

    :laugh:

    This is neat. I wonder if it eats up a lot of memory though? Thanks for the tip!

    Great app, but I think the resizing algo needs work. I got jaggies all over the pictures (see below). I'm happy with it though. :D
