Just download konfabulator. It comes packaged with a customizable slideshow widget. I have tried Apple's dashboard and I have concluded Konfabulator is better. Dashboard hangs for too long when I click on it, whereas Konfabulator is always up (I just stick with the three that come with it: slideshow, analog clock, and weather report).
Not being customizable, it is just a 2-minute toy.

Yeah, this is wordy, but I'm mainly wanting to give detailed feedback to the creator of SlideShow--I'd love to have one that fully suits my needs.
Look, if I want to see someone else's photos, then I will be looking at them pro-actively, to learn and enjoy and appreciate—in which case, I want to view them in a regular way, not in a little widget.
But if I want pictures on my desktop to remind me of family, friends and loved ones, then it doesn't matter how tiny, and a widget is perfect for that. Someone I love is always there.
Point being: I'd be surprised if there is much market (freeware or not) for widget slideshows that aren't customizable.
For example, the Ashed widget is great... you can enjoy the photos that came with it, once through, then you can dump them and from then out use your own. You can set it to change at any interval you choose (I like an hour). Hopefully the creators will soon enhance it to remember its preferences, and where it left off.
A creator could even require scrolling through all the original pictures before it can be customized, thus fulfilling his motivation for exposure as an artist. (But to tell me I can include my own if I write and get a price for it???) I looked at only half these admittedly great photos, but knowing I could never put my own in there, I quickly lost interest. I would have watched them ALL for their beauty, but like I say, on a tiny widget? How great can a great photo look at two inches wide? (But a picture of Grandma is great no matter what the side, to be redundant.)
The SlideShow widget at hand is also a tad to large for my purposes. For me, a slideshow widget is of little use if I don't FLOAT it on my desktop, down in a corner or somewhere; otherwise, it is just a toy, visible only when you call up Dashboard. So I float it, and for that, you do want it to stay quite small, or it covers up your work and gets in your way. But small is just fine, if you are using your own pictures and just want the reminder of your loved ones there, rather than using it to enjoy and explore great photos of other photographsers. (The photos with SlideShow are great, btw, but....)
The transitions did not work anything even close to smoothly on my G4 with 335 megs of RAM. (This alone makes it impossible to keep this widget, even if it is your own system's fault and not the widget's.)
Note: float any widget by pressing your hot key DURING the process of dragging the widget; doing it again will return it to Dashboard behavior.
