MicroPics is a Gnome 2.x Applet that displays images on the panel, and zooms to show a better view when the cursor passes over it.
The idea came when I notice I had a daughter and she was not on my desktop background. Why? I have too many windows open and they were hiding all my desktop. Why not having the photos on the Applet bar? Too small.. unless it zooms when passing the cursor!
