Create Background Slideshow 0.9.8 brings a number of improvements to the user interface, following the GNOME human interface guidelines: accelerator keys and keyboard shortcuts have been added; image previews appear in the file chooser dialog; thumbnails in the main window are spread evenly to avoid a large right-hand border; and new error dialogs provide extra feedback should a problem arise.
An important change to note is that the transition time is now considered to be part of the duration, meaning that less arithmetic is required to create a slideshow of a particular length. Also toward that goal, an experimental 'fit to length' feature can be tried to automatically adjust image durations in order to keep the slideshow's length constant.
