CreBS Description

Create Background Slideshow CreBS (Create Background Slideshow) is a Python/GTK application used to create and set desktop background slideshows for GNOME, and by extension the Linux distributions that use it, such as Fedora and Ubuntu. The image set defined is stored along with your ordinary wallpapers so it can be reselected in the future from the standard Appearance Preferences window.Installation:If you have a Debian-related distribution, you can install Create Background Slideshow from the CreBS PPA:ppa:crebs/ppaFor example, in an Ubuntu terminal:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:crebs/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install crebsHow to use:Start by adding images to the slideshow; multiple images may be selected for addition within any particular directory. Then rearrange them into your chosen order using the Earlier and Later buttons or by dragging the image into place. If you change your mind about including an image, use the Remove button.Got a favourite picture you want to see for longer than the rest? Override the default duration with any time you like, specifiable in seconds, minutes, or hours.Finally, give the slideshow a name and press Save to set the image sequence as your new desktop background. The set is added in with your other wallpapers, so you can use the standard Appearance Preferences window to change and restore the wallpaper in the future.CreBS, unsurprisingly, is licensed under the GPL.
