Image widget for Windows

A picture on your dashboard: a photo, a logo, a reference, a transparent PNG overlay. Paste one straight from the clipboard (a copied picture or files copied in Explorer), drop files on it, or point it at a link. Hover the picture to crop each side, rotate it, set its transparency, invert it or tint it with your accent color, all without touching the file. Add two or more pictures and it becomes a slideshow, from every few seconds to a picture of the day or the week. Lock it and clicks pass straight through to the widgets underneath, so a shadow or a frame can sit on top of them.
