I love this program. Has some cool desktop wall papers you can choose. You can set it to change your desktop picture automatically every day/week/month. Works great for me. The author was quick to respond to my questions about the application.

Desktopia CommentaryGreat Idea But Not Working - Version: 1.0, 12/24/2006 12:02AM PST

First, it simply does not change my desktop at all. It is intuitive to use, accessible and easy to set up, but it juts is not working. I'm trying it with one of the default backgrounds.

Second, the preview is not working. No matter what I choose, the preview window is a blank.

Desktopia Usage TipLack the ability to import "folders" - Version: 1.0, 9/26/2006 06:20AM PST

info-FFTir
It seems great, but, when you have a lot of desktop pictures sorted in a lot of folders and subfolders, it' unusable...
What I need to use this software :
- The ability to choose a folder. Desktopia would look inside it and inside its subfolders and automatically at launch (and when asked) it parse the content of this folder to find all pictures in it... This feature is necessary for me cause I sort all my pictures in subfolders and I don't want to look for any pictures I add to verify that it was included or not in desktopia...
- The ability to have differents pictures on all connected displays...
