Not that I have tried this myself, but:

Write an HTML page that contains your pic as (tiled) wallpaper.
After pov is done click on reload in your browser. That should
do the trick.

Easily done - I always remove the "reply" button from the toolbar.

You can surely come here. There are lots of cool places to visit. And we can
have some beers :)


Best regards.

Hey nice idea!

I havn't removed the reply button (cause I need it to reply some mails) but
I have moved the reply group button to the other side of the toolbar. :))

Thanx for the idea :)


Best regards.

Pretty cool, It's useful alright, but Its still not waht I want 100%. I
would like the ability to see the pics tiled as I browse the dir content
(using the arrow keys) and not having to press the tile button for each.

I use IrfanView for a long time now and I havn't found an option there who
allows me to do that :(


Best regards.

P.S.: I really liked your web page. Its very nice to look at and very well
structured keeping its simplicity. And it has lots os usefull stuff too :))

Hmmm! I have thought of something like that, but it has the disadvantage of
having to render the files using the same name or I would have to change the
HTML after each render, which isn't practical  :(


Best regards

Well, you can always reply by right-clicking on the message.... (of course, it
depends on how often you reply by email to messages - me, almost never).

Anyway, this is getting way off-topic (still, given the amount of on-topic in
off-topic, who am I to buck a trend?).

Not ugly and nice idea :-), it could be a cool background for a POV
dedicated website.

Well it's neither a viewer nor freeware, rather an image editor, but Picture
Publisher displays tiled backgrounds since version 7.

plane. i was working on macros, loops and randomness in a variation on
checker plane with spheres. i'll go ahead and post it in a few minutes.
