Weekend Open Forum: What is your current screensaver?

[plplplpl]

Sure, you don't need a screensaver anymore, but I still think they're cool.

Around the house I have a couple of the built-in Windows photo slideshows for family pics, a couple of the surprisingly good Dream Aquarium, and the amazing Mosaicinfinite on the 100" HTPC projector screen, again for family pics. The online previews don't do them justice.

Many of them are 'pretty' like one I used to run from a program called 'anyimage' and I had a folder of pretty women properly dressed and not making an *** of themselves like a lot of women today. Most were TV and Movie Stars and a few were lifted from web pages just because they were 'pretty'. I still have the program on my backup disk but I haven't used screensavers for many years. The screen goes off after about 10 minutes of inactivity as part of my power settings/plan.

Jack, Jack, Jack, I thought that was the whole point of modern "erotic art" photography, to make women appear as if they were nothing but an a**, er....quite literally..

These pics aren't of the erotic type.

My screensaver is the blank one. After 5 mins of blank, screens turn off.

I got millions of family, friends, vacation pictures that I keep on adding and sometimes I just sit there enjoying the screen saver bringing back some super memories....

Yep, digi-photos from '98-ish to present, family events, etc..
as someone from the stone-age and after Countless CRT heating elements, it's difficult for me to get too excited about the 11 watts my monitor uses (44 Wh total) for the 4 hours it will play before going to sleep. Makes a nice visual background to playing forgotten music on 'random' from a TB of MP3 / FLAC's whilst discussing world politics and the decline of Western civilization (and blissfully ignoring the internet's 14-month and counting politicization of Jelly Bean colors) with my only True Friend, Jack.

I know what you mean, rookie. After all, your screen saver allows them to profile you, plus your tastes and interests. Then it's off to the dark web with your info for sale, to god knows what clandestine, nefarious entity...

The only way to protect yourself is to buy Amazon's "Alexa" device, who will protect your privacy at all costs.;

"Alexa, order me 3 more anti-malware suites, money is no object"! Now see, don't you feel safer with Amazon keeping a watchful ear on you? Then too, surely you must realize "Alexa" is quite fond of you.

That's the way to go. Amazon keeps all your data safe!

Be that as it may, I'm still going to holdout for the "Doctor Alexa" model. With health care costs being what they are, any help would be appreciated.

When "The Good Doctor" is released, I'll bring her into the bathroom with me. There She'll be able to speak muy clever things like "turn you head and cough", or, "bend over and touch you toes". No doubt Amazon will incorporate lower GI diagnostics as well. Dr. Alexa should be able to tell if there's trouble a brewin', by the pitch, amplitude, and duration of your flatulence.

(I bet you never dreamed a classy guy like me could turn, "Alexa", into a fart joke, did ya)?

I'd love it if the Bubbles screensaver worked like it used to

I think it's simply I'm getting old and women aren't that important to me anymore. Getting through a day is enough.

Forgive me for being picky, but the Bubbles screensaver I remember froze the screen as the bubbles bounced off the walls & each other & also froze the clock on the taskbar. Oh, you could also see thru it. But thanks, its the thought that counts

Before I posted I tried it on my machine. There was another one I saw on Startpage search,but I didn't download it or try it as it had colored bubbles. It would have gone through the same inspection had I suggested it for you.

 

[learninmypc]

I thank you for your trying, have an awesome day/evening & thank you

Its Vista that it works best on, I just found it.

Hello, I have The Lost Watch but I am looking for a windows tool where I can build a exclusion list when the screensaver should not be triggerd, there are a lot of tools like Caffeine but I would like to put a process execute in a list so that the computer knows that it is forbidden to run.

Also the screensavers run difficult often, its like they run on core windows while I have enough power to run 10 screensavers.

Also looking for a tool that runs different screensavers on multimonitors.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make it transparent like it was, not the way it is now.

Nothing like posting almost 4 years after the topic was created to be relevant

Screensaver are beautiful addons in my computer but we should not see them as screensavers anymore.
