IDelight (formerly Desktop Picture Frame)

Windows can be customized in quite a large variety of ways with built-in features alone, not to mention adding other kind of third-party applications. If you just want to make Windows look pretty and aren’t using its resources with other complex tasks, you can consider giving IDelight a shot as well.

The installer won’t take much of your time, and before you know it all the application has to offer is put at your disposal. However, this is likely to happen in the event that their requirements are installed as well, because the application won’t run without .NET Framework.

Right after it starts, a box appears on your desktop and displays all pictures you have in the default pictures directory. However, another prompt appears and offers the possibility to change these settings and some others as well.

The main menu itself consists of a large area where all detected pictures are shown, and a side panel that holds different sections like image list tasks, image tasks, image show tasks, navigation, and options, with each containing other sets of tools.

By default, the slideshow runs at decent speed, with random transitions. Luckily, there are tons of customization options ranging from the box position and size on the desktop, to a large variety of frames and other details to stylize the slideshow box.

If you think it takes too much of your system’s resources, there are several quality levels to chose from, for better optimization. You can run pictures from other sources and funnel connection through proxy. The sad part is you have to reserve some space for the main window on the taskbar, because it can’t get minimized to the system tray.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that IDelight is a neat addition to your desktop, especially if you don’t plan on using your computer for nothing more than basic entertainment or to satisfy your need for Internet every day. The variety of customization is enough to have a different design each day, as long as there are pictures to show, so go out there and start shooting some frames.
