I am now making some changes to the wallpapers Mo created. I picked what I thought best for 00am, 04am, 06am, 09am, 00pm, 03pm, 06pm and 09pm (i.e. 00am midnight, 06am dawn, 00pm noon, 06pm dusk and the rest is somewhere in between) and am doing now the hours between by transitioning them in gimp - I think it is good to have one wallpaper per hour, but as a start what you suggested seems enough, but making the transitions in gimp is less CPU intensive than letting the gnome do it for you. Regarding the seasons, I though it would be great if there was a feature to add subsets to the transitions - i.e. we would have one 'wallpaper' staying for e.g. 3 months, but it would not be one picture, but another slideshow with one picture per hour. In code it could look like this: <static> <duration> <months>3</months> </duration> <static> <duration>3595</duration> <file>/usr/share/backgrounds/fedora-infinity/spring-am00.png</file> </static> <transition type="overlay"> <duration>5</duration> <from>/usr/share/backgrounds/fedora-infinity/spring-am00.png</from> <to>/usr/share/backgrounds/fedora-infinity/spring-am01.png</to> </transition> <static> <duration>3595</duration> <file>/usr/share/backgrounds/fedora-infinity/spring-am01.png</file> </static> <transition type="overlay"> <duration>5</duration> <from>/usr/share/backgrounds/fedora-infinity/spring-am01.png</from> <to>/usr/share/backgrounds/fedora-infinity/spring-am02.png</to> </transition> ... </static> <static> <duration> <months>3</months> </duration> ... <static> While it does make sense in providing thus greater configurability and ability to change the wallpapers not only by hours but also by season it would be probably harder to implement. Mathias, what do you think about it? Martin
