The mouse wheel can be used to scroll wallpapers +back and forth until you find the perfect one for your current mood. + +Apart from displaying images from local folders, several different +online sources can be used to fetch wallpapers according to +user-specified criteria. + +Variety can also automatically apply various fancy filters to the +displayed images - charcoal painting, oil painting, heavy blurring, etc. +- so that your desktop is always fresh and unique. Applying a heavy +blurring filter for example is a great way to get abstract-looking and +unobtrusive, yet colorful wallpapers, similar in spirit to the default +one in Ubuntu. + +Variety was developed by Peter Levi as part of the Ubuntu App Showdown, +June-July 2012 |
