"Crystal Wallpaper is a shareware that provides a totally new way to enjoy beautiful pictures besides common desktop wallpapers and screensavers. No need to pause any applications, Crystal Wallpaper enables you to enjoy your favorite pictures on the screen anytime you like by showing each picture transparently as a background or slide showing the pictures on the screen like a flowing stained glass window. With a clear and friendly user interface, Crystal Wallpaper is very easy to use. With only a few clicks to add your favorite images into the wallpaper list, you can enjoy the transparent picture as a background or the slide show of pictures on the screen anytime you like. You can customize the size, position, sequence, opacity and intervals of display all at your will. The wallpapers would be beautiful and transparent, like a crystal touching your heart."
Review
It's probably not the height of efficiency, but Crystal Wallpaper is certainly original. The utility is a desktop image manager, helping to switch background pictures manually or automatically. However, it also gives users the curious ability to display those images on top of all other active windows, in a translucent layer, instead of behind them. Users can increase or decrease the layer's opacity, change images, or disable the utility all by using keyboard shortcuts, but the program does takes a fairly hefty bite out of system memory while running.
If you're intrigued by the idea of seeing a picture of your dog or child superimposed on your Excel spreadsheet, then this download may well give you a kick.
