Note: To preserve the Photographers copyright, this software will skip those photo of the day that are protected by the Photographers copyright. We will inculde alternative sources like Deviantart, fliker etc so that our user can configure to use any other source for those days when a National Geography Photo of the Day is not available due to copyright.
Future of this project
The goal of the project is to build an event triggered wallpaper management system, where desktop visualization is triggered by events like, Time of day, Weather conditions, National Holidays, Religious fastivals, your life events like your anniversary, birthday etc.
You will be able to add/remove wallpaper packs in your inventory. Wallpaper packs will be used to change your desktop visualizations based on the event triggers.
You will also be able to create and publish your own wallpaper packs.
