Coolest Slideshow-Screensavers on earth (Windows)

Februar 1st, 2009 by Blu:RayNe

Probably you know the glslideshow-Screensaver from Linux (also on OS X):

  • A1:1 conversion of the screensaver is Nostalgic by Gregg. Set image delay to 24sec and a transition of 5sec to run it smoothly.
  • The MotionPicture-Screensaver is similar. You better also tweak the setting here or it might run to fast.
  • Microsoft has also a similar screensaver, but it cannot read subdirectories of your image folder. You may consider to download the Images of Ireland (Validation required) which includes the screensaver instead of paying $20
  • Last but not least you should have a look at the Google Photos Screensaver from the english Google Pack. You won’t see it in the german Google-Pack, probably because it is fed by Photofeeds like the one on flickr. Anyway i encountered two or three problems with the screensaver, not wanting to switch back from the OpenGL or DirectX-Mode on exit and so let me see my desktop again. The only chance was to reboot. Also i dislike not beeing able to switch of the info-bars and the Google-logo and i also don’t like also seeing mini-sized photos.

Here are some feeds i found interesting:

Anyway, it’s easy to find more pictures:
