Acknowledgements
Wally has been deeply inspired by John's Background Switcher, a great software, well designed and much more capable than Wally. Infact, it's still running on one of my PCs.
Anyway, I decided to write Wally for two reasons:
· JBS is based on .NET, a framework that is not installed on every PC, cause of its "heaviness" and system resources' usage.
· And, mainly, it cannot run on platforms like Linux / MacOSX.
