Image Desktop - view
only the pictureTutelage wrote to me: A friend of mine
wrote this nice little image viewing utility in visual
basic.
Hi Tutelage, I tried this little program out
and my opinion is "two thumbs up". It really can be convenient to have
pics on your desktop without Windows borders around them. I'm thinking
I'll be able to use it for tutorials. Image Desktop allows you to resize
and move pictures all over your desktop and it doesn't mind having several
copies of itself running at the same time. I think it's a
keeper.

Quote from the website - ImageDesktop is an unique image viewing
utility with one feature that clearly distinguishes it from all others -
you see only the viewed picture without any unnecessary borders of the
main window or even any toolbar buttons. You don't even see the titlebar.
You see only the image and nothing more. Well, is it useful for something
at all? Quite suprisingly, yes, it is. We often find it useful when we
need to describe a picture, and this is what we do so we can type and look at the
picture at the same time.:
- Open a word processor (e.g. MS Word or StarWriter)
- Open ImageDesktop
- Use its context menu to open a picture
- Adjust size
- Move it to a corner of the screen
- Turn on "Stay on Top" feature
- Start writing
