Discussion and more information on the application can be found at the following thread: BGG Randomizer: periodically randomize your desktop's wallpaper, microbadges, (über)geekbadge & overtext [v0.06 includes twitter and overtext support].

That thread also contains a a howto guide, useful in helping you to configure the application.


In any case, the following screenshot will hopefully help illustrating what the program does:

I checked this thinking maybe I could finally randomly select a game from my collection. Might you have interest in creating such a thing?

Well, it really depends on the requirements of such an application... what exactly was on your mind? I'll geekmail you about this.

If anybody wants to suggest something related to a randomly selected game app or anything else for that matter, please feel free to do so.

also, maybe it already exists? Check the Greasemonkey scripts, there are some BGG ones there.
E.g. check this list?

BGG Randomizer v0.03 is now available for download.

The main changes are:
- Added "dynamic" text tags, that can be used on geekbadges to display number of thumbs given, thumbs received, total games played, total games owned and games played in last 30 days.
- Countdown is now considered a "random text", so can be mixed and matched with other random items.
- Microbadge list is now saved for user's convenience.
- Actual microbadge images are shown in the list.

Excellent work. One question. How do I uninstall ver 0.02? I don't seem to be able to find a folder on my system for it (except for download location) and it does not appear in my programs list. I tried running ver 0.03, but it simply starts up ver 0.02.

Cheers.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

No uninstall procedure is necessary. The application doesn't need anything really. To install it simply unzip it somewhere and to uninstall simply delete it.
In your case, what you have to do is just close the application and then overwrite the previous executable (v0.02) with the new one (v0.03).

v0.03 has a feature in that it still thinks that it's version 0.02 (i.e., it says 0.02 on the application's status bar). The file's version information however is correct (right click on the executable file and select properties). Two other ways to distinguish between the two are that v0.03 shows the actual microbadge images and doesn't have a separate tab for geekbadge countdown on the app's main window.

One thing's for sure, this thing is persistent for all your programs on my Win2000 machine...
;-)
No need to worry about it, I'll just use it elsewhere...
Note, the issue is, likely, on my end, so no need to do anything about it.
Pretty window, though. meeple

This is absolutely brilliant stuff. I love it!

Although... it limits you to using .JPG, .GIF or .PNG.

Any chance of including .SVG in the next version?
