This post is not meant for the pros and studs of GNU/linux......This is response to some of my frns asking me how to create a background slide show in ubuntu.Im using this method since a long time.There might be a better method of achieving it.I ll be glad if some one lets me know a better method.
Open slideshow.xml .Now create a file with .xml extension.The code to written in this file will be similar to slideshow.xml.Each tag in the code are expalined below.
1.The "starttime" indicates the time from which the slideshow begins.
2.The "static " tag means that the image(in the file tag of static ) will be displayed for duration given in the duration tag
3.The "transition" tag means that there will be a transition between the image in "from" to image in "to" tag. for duration number of seconds.
4.Don't forget to write tis whole content in a "background " tag. Then save it
This way any number of images can be added to slide show.
Now open a new file with .xml extension again(say .theme.xml).Write the file in a similar manner as in theme.xml.
Change the name in the name tag to the name of the slideshow theme(i named it as pratap).The tag "filename" should contain the address of the slideshow.xml which you created previously.Save this file in the folder
/usr/share/gnome-background-properties(you need root permissions for that.so better use "sudo gedit" for the text editor)
OR
There is an application called crebs(suggested by my frnd) which does all this for us and creates a background slideshow
