Mac Desktop Generator 0.55 [update]

Thu, 5 Jul 2007 15:43:05 +0000

I want to present Mac Desktop Generator, the new app for Mac OS X and Last.fm users.

With this application, You can generate sleek and stylish (yeah, sure ;) wallpaper for Your Mac made from covers of your favorite albums!

It's very beta!
Please report any bugs and present your opinions. I hadn't even truly tested it ;)

There's already Windows version of similar app - Gjisco's Last.fm Desktop Generator. However, my generator is an independent project, written entirely from scratch.

UPDATE Mac Desktop Generator 0.55

It's not new big version. It's just one bug fix and effect of one hour fun with animations in Cocoa ;)

Changelog:
+ [fixed] unknown album covers should not be displayed
+ [added] Some UI fireworks ;)

INSTRUCTIONS:

- unzip it
- drag the application to your applications folder

- save the image somwhere and manually set it as a desktop wallpaper
- enjoy :D

FEATURES:

+ generating image of tiled covers based on your's top albums list
+ saving file as .tiff
+ auto setting size of wallpaper, based on your's desktop resolution
+ auto setting number of covers to best fit your display

MISSING FEATURES (which I want to implement):

+ editing colors and effects of image
+ auto-setting new wallpaper

SCREENSHOT:

In final version I will try to include missing features mentioned above, fix bugs (if there are any) and add feature that You will request.
