Slightshow

A command-line controlled tool for running randomized picture slideshows

This is a Python application that takes a bunch of images and displays them in a fullscreen slideshow. The image paths as well as various configuration options can be specified on the command line. Currently the frontend user interface relies on PyGTK but the application is written in a modular way so that other UI toolkits can easily be integrated.
