+Variety changes the desktop wallpaper on a regular basis, using
+user-specified or automatically downloaded images.
+
+Variety sits conveniently as an indicator in the panel and can be easily
+paused and resumed. The mouse wheel can be used to scroll wallpapers
+back and forth until you find the perfect one for your current mood.
+
+Apart from displaying images from local folders, several different
+online sources can be used to fetch wallpapers according to
+user-specified criteria.
+
+Variety can also automatically apply various fancy filters to the
+displayed images - charcoal painting, oil painting, heavy blurring, etc.
+- so that your desktop is always fresh and unique. Applying a heavy
+blurring filter for example is a great way to get abstract-looking and
+unobtrusive, yet colorful wallpapers, similar in spirit to the default
+one in Ubuntu.
+
+Variety was developed by Peter Levi as part of the Ubuntu App Showdown,
+June-July 2012
