Description
Update 10/06/11**Sorry people, I won't be able to finish this project with the current Rainmeter. I'm not an expert in programing (I only know some HTML and CSS). I might continue if someday Rainmeter include some stuff I need. Anyone who would like to continue my project, are welcome to use my ideal and code.
You should use "splinterCell_repack" [link] it's very good (that guy know real coding), if you like my style you could modified his skin so it can look like mine(if he allow).
I'm sorry if some people experting cool stuff coming.

Split picture in frame slideshow with wood background 1680x1050v1.1
Slideshow any picture you want in a folder that you want, one picture will be display in 5 picture flame every 30 sec. It will randomly chose a picture in the folder you specifies. You can stop the slideshow by pressing on any frame it will display your current background of window in the frame and by repressing you it will chose a new picture randomly.
Instructions: paste the path of you picture folder after "ImageFolder=" in the [variables] section in spfs.ini file or right click>edit skill.

Know issues:
-icon on desktop will be hidden
(how to fix: settings>transparency>xx% and settings>Click Through or settings>Hide on mouse over)
-taskbar may hide behind the skin
(how to fix: pres start to bring taskbar in front or alt+tab if you want to go to an open window)

Thanks to meep (on teamliquid.net) for the idea, zygat3r (on deviantart.com) Dark Wood background (I mod the background myself) and bendenfield (on deviantart) for inspiration of the code.
I noticed there is "splinter cell" [link] already on deviantart, that it is almost the same as mine, while I was uploading, I did not steal his/her ideal or code. Hope you will like mine also.
Please comment and I may accept some special request.

You need the latest Rainmeter installed on your window machine and then double click the file you downloaded above. If it don't work, right click on the file, select "open with" > "chose default program" > "Rainstaller" and then follow the instruction.
After installed the skin in the Rainmeter folder, right click the Rainmeter in the Notification Area (bottom right of the screen), select configs>Jackarage>Cuted pictures frame slideshow>cpfs.ini. The skin should appear on your desktop. Right click anywhere on the skin, select "Edit Skin..." and paste the path of you picture folder after "ImageFolder=" in the [variables] section.
hope that helped you, for more information you go to [link]

Good work with the sense of wholeness. I made the splinter cell skin, actually there're several differences between your work and mine. Your method seem to be more straight-forward, using a overlapping frame to mask the picture in pieces, while I actually cut the picture in pieces so that the size parameters are auto-calculated and configurable.

That's what I'am trying to do but, I don't have much time to work on it

if you have window7 you can set to "fill screen"
*why Deviantart don't allow me to edit my comments? So i don't need to comment four time to make it work.

I use the background to cut/hide the picture, with the current code it is impossible, but you can try picture slideshow made by other people or try "splinter cell" made by vindurriel [link] I don't know if he's/her's is more suitable for you. I may find a way to have only the frame. Hope that answer your question.
