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:
- Earthshots.com
- flickr: Club pictures
- flickr: Club pictures II
- flickr: Club pictures III (Ministry of Sound)
- flickr: Erotic Photos I – Playboy Bunnies I
- flickr: Erotic Photos II – Playboy bunnies II
- flickr: Erotic Photos III – Sexy Models
- flickr: Erotic Photos VI – b/w
- flickr: Polar and Arctic Pictures
- flickr: Photos from Lone Cypress
- LiveScience.com – Image of the Day
- LiveScience.com – Amazing Pictures
- PicasaWeb from Google.com
- Space.com – Image of the Day
- Space.com – Amazing Images
Anyway, it’s easy to find more pictures:
