Hi, I have little experience with programming, but I'm interested in making what I think would be a relatively small job.
I'd like to recreate for a PC an option available with Macs: to cycle and fade through a directory of wallpapers at a given interval. I am aware of programs already available for PCs that can cycle through wallpapers, although I've yet to find one with the ability to transition (fade) between them, and do so in a matter of seconds, not minutes.
Since I have little experience with programming, I'd like to know if you have any advice for making such a program. I'd like to keep the language simple (flash or java would be ideal I think).

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm sounds neat, trying to recollect who is our flash/java expert's...

Hmm, for fading in realtime I definitely would not recommend a slow language like java or flash. I think it would be better to write a script that uses a C program for fading a desktop image into another image.
