Another thought along those lines.... how about using a page from Marco's Epiphany and instead of "pure" categories, allow the user to make a wallpaper with as many as they want. IE: have a pre-set list (nature, abstract) with the ability for the user to add more on to it (add new). When you edit the wallpaper you get this list and simply select the categories that the wallpaper belongs to. I don't know if that many people would find it useful, but I know that some of my wallpaper fall nicely into several categories. Also, please don't forget to see how the layout works with panorama sized images for dual head. I'm guessing they just scale, but it's something to make sure is dealt with. Oh, and looks good! :) alan On Mon, Oct 27, 2003 at 08:11:32AM -0500, Rodney Dawes wrote: > I have seen the OS X wallpaper dialog.
