FotoWall is a creative tool that allows you to layout your photos or pictures in a personal way. You can add pictures, then resize, move, change colors, text, shadows, etc.. Check out the old home page too.

Focus is on simplicity, express your creativity! ;-)

This FotoWall package provides source code; to make an executable out of the sources you have to know a little about programming or ask one of your friends to do it ;-) Or just grab an 'executable package' from the project homepage.

In Linux/X11, Mac, or Windows, install the latest Qt development packages that you will find on http://www.trolltech.com:

• on linux this is tested with Qt 4.4 and GCC 4.0+
• on windows this is tested witn Qt 4.4 and MSVC Express 2005 and 2008
• on mac this was not tested, report me if it simply works out of the box ;-)

Just open a command prompt (win), shell (linux, mac) and go the sources location and issue the followings commands:

• qmake (or qmake-qt4 if your system is weird)
• make (or nmake, if you're on windows)

The executable will be built and you can start Enjoying FotoWall! ;-)

You must have the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Redistributable package (1.7MB) installed in your system, otherwise you will get an error. Click here for downloading the file.
