The dailyPic engine
1 Overview
Keeping systems interesting, fresh and appealing is a constant challenge for many businesses. Companies such as Google and Microsoft have implemented solutions to keep things looking fresh and interesting.
Here are All n One we wanted to emulate the concept but put our own slant on it.
The dailyPic engine means that the background of you system will change daily. Lidia Grisi, All n One's Morale Office, went through a large of sites and images to select and ensure relevance to uplift bxp user spirits.
The engine is turned on by typing dailyPic into either your personal background or the setting for the whole system. If you set the dailyPic engine for the system but a user has selected a person background image, the personal background takes preference.
Main Menu > System Access Management > User Administration > Edit User - Security Details > Find the User > Interface Options > Background Image > type in dailyPic and save down the bottom.
