Hello everyone.
I've been hunting for a digital picture frame app/ widget for my Macbook Pro. What I want it to do is randomly display pictures from a folder on my hard drive in a small window on my desktop very much like a digital picture frame would.
The only thing I have been able to find is Digital Picture Framer Widget from Monkey Business Labs. Because of the ambiguity of their website, I emailed them to get some questions answered with no success (foreshadowing). I decided to take the chance and paypal them my $5. They took my money, but the app refuses to register using the method they provided. I've emailed them several times over a month, and they never respond and their support email address bounces. There were several other bugs along the way, from sloppy coding to poor proofreading. I know it's only $5, but in a world of piracy, it would be nice if they could at least treat you with some respect for taking the time to contribute financially. This experience has definitely dissuaded me from doing business with small, independent software companies. DO NOT BUY SOFTWARE FROM MONKEY BUSINESS LABS.
Now that my rant is over (sorry about that), I was wondering if anyone could suggest some other app/ widget that might work. I peer over at my girlfriend's Windows Vista laptop and am jealous at her picture sidebar gadget which comes with the OS for free. Lame.
Of course I could use the desktop to randomly switch backgrounds, but it's perpetually covered by icons, documents and windows.
Thanks in advance.
