Photo Frame widget for your Mac desktop
To add a photo frame widget to your Mac desktop, describe it in DesignMyMac — “A Polaroid photo frame: a white instant-film border rotating through a folder of my photos, with a handwritten caption.” — and it designs the widget in any style, font and colour, then places it on your desktop behind your windows. You can resize it, move it, and edit it on its own later.
