Do you have any plans to continue developing this?

I've updated the screensaver portion to display full screen, and added a date/time text space to it, so as a screensaver it works wonderfully.
Right now I'm trying to see about smoothing the transition between images, as it's rather jerky (looks like it fades out in 4-5 increments, rather than a smooth transition). Basically trying to make it look a little more updated.
I can share the code I've changed, but I'm fairly confident it will only work on 1080p screens, not certain how to make it fit all screens. I'll have to work on that a bit more. Also took ages to figure out how to get a clock that updated properly.

If I can figure out how to get things into options, I might be able to set up things like "enable clock" and "Set full screen", for screen saver options, but I'm brand new to this language, so I'm really just feeling my way in the dark here.

Is the main Picasa API code working for you? I was playing around with mine the other day and finding that most calls to the API were getting an error 403 or 400 response, even though it appeared that the authentication tokens were valid. I assumed that Google was removing access to most of their API functions. If your code is still mainly working then I'll look into it some more and see what was going on. I have a feeling though that this is one of those typical Google situations where they're changing/removing functionality with no concern for backwards compatibility.
