the drawback of most older widgets like this, is that they do not show the new picture on the widget button itself. I do not have enough space on my desktop, so it would be nice to have the picture also shown on the button, like the yahoo 'picture frame' widget.

Some bugs in version 4.0 of the widget engine broke this and a large number of other widgets.

Version 4.0.1 of the Yahoo engine is now available for download. If you upgrade to this version of teh Yahoo software the widget will start working again. Sorry for the problems but they are outside my control.

Just downloaded this and it won't open (Windows XP, build 3.1.4 104 of widget engine). Says it either isn't a widget or I don't have access to it (can't find .kon file).
