It would be nice to have a widget that displays images from a folder or url, so you can have a slide show from your photos. This could perhaps be done as a background image. Remember to upvote if you agree. 🙂 ---

Oh wow that’s actually a great idea. I’ll see if I can make a widget for the [Gallery](http://homey.app/a/com.athom.gallery) app! ---

As promised: the [Gallery app](https://homey.app/a/com.athom.gallery/) has been updated to support slideshows. You can now even add an image from a Flow! ---

Will be nice if this can be combined with Google foto’s. Now I think it can only show images that are locally stored on Homey? ---

Wow, great work! Can you explain how one might use the new flow card? ---

The translations (Diabillede, Tone and Vippe) for effect are missing or wrong. 🙂 ---

Or if the background color will be changeble, for a great OLED display device (an old but good samsung S5e) a total black could be much more better in night 🙂 (I attached a picture what black the device capable and an other from the dashboard gray background from now) ![IMG_3600](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/9/d97bb96efcb8cac46ebcef0304d4508d618afccb.jpeg) ![IMG_3601](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/e/6ef91a008b59fc174c2f043d43695815d0b88f65.jpeg)
