Hi,
I made did this docklet because I felt that I needed it... and I am sharing it with everyone...
I have included an image named 'albeik.jpg', that I made long time ago. Its best used centered with the a BLACK colored background. I hope you like it.
Also include, is the Apple Scanline Wallpaper set by Goku downloaded from AquaXP.com. Included are Aqua, Green, Red, and Graphite.
Make sure you read the readme file for configuration information.
Enjoy!
what is it supposed to do? Got a screenshot?
It is great, thanks for creating it, and make some improvements to it.

It allows to change the background/wallpaper with a click on the docklet it is a great tool to switch wallpapers easily
I love the idea of this docklet, but I am having problems with it. I read the readme and configured it the way it says to, but it never finds any images and make YzDock crash when I right click on it and click on Docklet properties. Any suggestion for anyone on what may be the problem??? This is the first docklet that I have had any problems with, so I know it must be me.
Thanks All !!
FatAxl :own:
FatAxl, mine is set like this:
"[FILES]
PATH=C:\WINDOWS\Web\
SUBDIRS=1"
Althought my real path is like this:
"PATH=C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper" (the docklet crash with this line), I remove
"Wallpaper" and it work!
is it possible for it to read images outside of the yzdock directory?
if so, how?
i changed the ini to my wallpaper folder, but it said no images found
help please

Make sure your path ends with a '\' for this to work.... Sorry about that! 
thanks albeik
Isn't ANYONE else having issues with this?
It crashes my dock everytime I try it.
my ini:
[FILES]
PATH=C:\SYSTEM\Library\Desktop Pictures\
SUBDIRS=1
[iMAGES]
USE_BMP=1
USE_JPG=1
; 0 = Centered
; 1 = Tiled
; 2 = Stretch
SET_STYLE=2
[EXECUTE]
FILE=C:\SYSTEM\Library\Core Services\System Preferences.app\System Preferences.exe

Does it give you an error? or does it hang the dock?
How many images do you have in that folder?
Ah another wonderful docklet Albeik. Works like a champion here, Thanks man. (Y)

I am tried both these paths and made sure that both ended with \...however, when I right click the docklet, I see all my wallpapers, but when I click on one then go to my desktop it is completely blank white?

Albeik,
Yes, it is strange...I see my wallpaper when I right click (in text) but when I then click on the 'wall' I would like to change...it executes fine (my YzDock 0082 does not crash, however when I go to my desktop it is blank white...
I just read some of the comments @DT2 where a couple of members were getting a blank white desktop too but only when restarting their systems...do not know if this is related...
Will wait for your investigative testing results...please have fun and take your time...
P.S. More info...if I click on Goku.Aqua.jpg (which I already have D/L previously) then my desktop is blank white...if I click on the 'wall' that I am presently using after this, then that wall shows up...
********************EDIT********************************
ok...I rebooted again and your fantastic BG Docklet is working! All my walls are showing up properly...sorry about the confusion...
A quick question: Do you have Active Desktop; or whatever it is called for WinXP (enable HTML) or something like that; enabled?
In regards to the desktop not showing the proper wallpaper after a restart: i think windows, for some reason, tries to look for that image under the My Pictures folder and can't find it..(my speculation)
Three solutions possible:
(1) Add an option to the INI to load a wallpaper at startup time
(2) Create a temporary image (cache.img) under the My Pictures; so windows can find it next time at load time
(3) All of the above... 
What sounds good...
PS: I just told one of my uses (Yony) to test the docklet when "Active Desktop" is enabled.. and he confirmed to me that it doesn't work.

Funny that you would mention that, for this just entered my mind so I checked...what I had enabled was "Do not show desktop icons"...and the walls did not change...just a blank desktop...
So I then disabled "Do not show desktop icons" and the walls then changed...I like my desktop really clean ...and only had (3) icons on it...but I just removed one...
Hope that this helps...ahhh just saw your posts about 'possible obtions' to put in the next version in .ini file...very good!
very cool docklet, thanks albeik!
There is a chance that you create the file cached.image in the default windows cache directory? (I mean where windows store their cache or wallpaper directory)
