One of the neat things about Mac programming is that you can create some very powerful applications rather quickly, if you do something Apple has built into simple controls.
Here is WebDesk, a preference pane that lets you set your desktop background to a web page. It took me a little time Friday, and Saturday afternoon to put this together. It’s also the first program I’m releasing as free software under the GPLv3.
(I know there’s someone else that did this already, but that isn’t free software, and I for one am not going to wait for the little shithead to charge $20 for such a trivial program, which a lot of Mac “programmers” like to do)

works great. one small question. how do I quit this app? I started it and had a web page running for a bit, and then I wanted to switch back my wallpaper, but it would work. I quit through Activity Monitor.
maybe I’m missing something, but is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks again
