Product Description:

This Widget does nothing more than display one of several Star-Wars™ related Images sized 175 x 150 pixel. You can switch the images at your leisure, and it is possible to simply drop your own images into the Images-folder inside the Widget-package, they will instantly show up in the preferences; Your Images _should_ be 175 pixel in width and 150 pixel in height as they will get distorted if they`re not that size. I like to clutter my Dashboard with X-Wing-Squadrons flying towards a Death-Star. The Dock is guarded by some AT-ATs. =) You can also set the widget to display a slideshow or to change the picture on dashboard-activation. Currently sports 18 reworked StarWars Images from the Movies.

This widget is great. It reminds me of these old three-fold cards you could get when I was very young, with dry-rub down transfers of Planet of the Apes or something to make your own scene.

But this is more like the vinyl colorforms, as you can re-use them!

I would say the only improvement I can think of is (if it's possible) to give the vehicles an adjustable scale, so you can set up more elaborate squadrons with dimension and depth!

But I realize that many of these vehicles are likely captured from the DVDs and therefore the scale is probably getting about as large as it can get. The ability to vary the scale from 50%-100% of what you have here would allow soooo much variety.

Also, maybe some of the droids? Yoda's hut? The lightsaber-training orb, for instance. Is it possible to make a widget hover and move, then fire a random bolt you need to click near to block, or your e-mail gets deleted, one unread message at a time?

Graphics are too small could be a wee bit larger. Great for star war entusiasts.
However I would only recommend to children not adults. It does work well.
