This custom tile creates a place holder which will display a random image, or you can select the slide show option with transition effects. Add the tile in a dashboard to view random pics of your vacation, family, inspiration or simply use as a screen saver.
In addition to the slide show options, you can select a ‘tap’ action to view the next image or open another dashboard (useful if used as a screen saver/photo album), and an optional clock.
