It does a much better job at resizing images for scales > 100%, resulting in much higher quality, and adds the ability to center images that have 'Aspect ratio maintained'.
Also, it allows you to maximize a picture to the frame by cropping the image, instead of distorting it(inspired by SlideshowPlus).

After correcting the first thing and adding the second option it would be perfect.

Also, is there a way to change which image viewer is used when selecting the "open image" option? It doesn't follow the Nautilus "open with" settings. Eye of Gnome is really slow and I'd like to use GThumb instead. Thanks!

Currently it says "Can only set Wallpaper to Local images.
It will be great if this can be done.

However, it haven't some simple features I need. So, I modify it a little (based on version 1.0):
- image centering (always on)
- scale images by cairo and not by Image module
- hence, it looks very pretty now when using entire screenlet sizing (image quality don't get lower)
- removed unevident options "Image Scale", "Image offset X/Y". Those replaced by clear options "Top/Bottom/Left/Right borders of the slide" (in pixels)
- immediate response to changing of those options and "Keep aspect ratio" option.
Now, this screenlet is usable for me. ;)
You can take it here (there are modified and original source code and diff file):

I suppose later this changes will be merged by Whise.

In the source code both left and right borders are assigned to the same variable self.b_left (line 121). Anyway I like very much both the original idea and the enhancements.
In the Mirror theme I would suggest to use a panel instead of a frame, in that case there is no holes between picture and the frame.

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 in which case Screenlets is installed in /usr/share/screenlets instead of the path that the author indicates.
Probably this is the reason it's not working. Is there a way to fix this?

If the picture has a different size/aspect than the frame it just overlaps it. It would make more sense if it were to clip the picture, so nothing is displayed outside of the frame. Why otherwise use a frame in the first place?
Just some constructive comments for the developer...

If I select <Open Image> it does open one of the images in my pictures folder.
The odd thing is, in the frame itself it just gives me a black screen. What could be the reason it is not displaying the images in the frame, while it does seem to find them?
