Translators
Let me give special thanks to Wally's translators, who are growing :)
| · | Me :), English and Italian |
| · | Tatiana Rubina, Russian and Spanish |
| · | Márcio Moraes, Portuguese (Brazil) |
If you want to add your translation to Wally, you just need:
| · | Qt Linguist |
| · | 15 minutes of your life :) |
You don't need to be neither a developer, nor to understand Wally's code.
And, if you need help in using Linguist, just write me.
Acknowledgements
Wally has been deeply inspired by John's Background Switcher, a great software, well designed and much more capable than Wally. Infact, it's still running on one of my PCs :)
Anyway, I decided to write Wally for two reasons:
| · | JBS is based on .NET, a framework that is not installed on every PC, cause of its "heaviness" and system resources' usage. |
| · | And, mainly, it cannot run on platforms like Linux / MacOSX. |
So, I'd like to thank John Conners, for giving me the opportunity to re-use its idea in order to fulfill the universe of wallpaper changers not covered by JBS :)
First of all, I'd like to thank Tanya, my wife, for all her support before, during Wally's development and after :)
I'd also like to thank:
| · | Francesco De Marchi, Sylvain Gueniot, Oliver Schwabedissen and Ferhat Dogru for bugs reporting and time spent in testing. |
| · | Leandro Palagiano, for Ubuntu .deb packages creation. |
| · | Photobucket staff, for support and promoting. Source : http://www.becrux.com |
