PhotoStickies overview

PhotoStickies puts all your favorite pictures on your desktop as stickies, floating or even borderless. Sticky pictures may reside on your computer, or on the Internet. It displays live Web cams on your desktop, updates them automatically, and even records them like a VCR.

What you can do with PhotoStickies:

  • Watch your favorite Webcams right on your desktop, keep an eye on the traffic or a weather cam.
  • Place your children, on your desktop, your house, your boat, or your nuclear satellite.
  • Use live Web cams as your living desktop picture, such as the Eiffel Tower or New York City, 5th Avenue.

Fantastic free app that does exactly what it's supposed to. I need to keep multiple images on screen at once daily, this app helps me organise my screen estate much better than preview, since all images open frameless, they can even float in front of every other app in use. Another great feature is the ability to save your opened images in a "set", so you can save and load presets for whatever project you're working on. My only gripe with it is that you can't resize or rotate images using the mouse. It works through hotkeys but it would be much more convenient to through an interactive "hot-corner" on each image.

It's very possible that I'm simply doing something wrong, but even when I have photos on the "back" level, they still cover my desktop icons. I'm trying to use the program as a wallpaper, and it's not very useful when it covers everything on my desktop.

Finally i found an application for having mini slideshows on my desktop. I tried and bought many applications, but this one is the best so far. I like in particular: It shows pictures in subdirectories, you can have several instances, and more importantly is that it does not take much resources!

Another way-cool freebie from Devon Technologies. I use this all the time, to put Web cams from around the world on my desktop, and to change desktop pictures with more control and horsepower than what's built-in to System Preferences. I'm wondering if this update isn't to make it ready for Lion, since they just updated DevonThink and Note for that.
