I've been using it for a few days. It's not what you might expect. You can't edit the time when an image appears only if you disable it, you can't customize the toolbar, there is nothing in the menu bar that might be useful. It's lagging a little friendliness, at least for me. It hasn't been updated for a long time and it feels pretty much like a windoze app. No effects :P Desktop just canges. no transition no nothing. instant . . as one would say: "Boom!"

This would be a neat feature. Right? I think if an app like that could control the saturation and brightness of your desktop image throughout the day to mimic day and night situations.
