The Beauty of Animated Screensavers

Posted In: . By Mikel

Do you sit by your computer each day watching the waves splash gently onto the sand? Not everyone has a house on the beach but everyone can have a realistic animated screensaver that is so realistic that they will feel like they are on the beach.

The improvements in screensavers over recent times are simply amazing. Screensavers are so life-like that they make you feel that you are right there in the scene.

The beautiful landscapes and sceneries are just amazing and you can almost feel the fluttering of the butterfly wings as they flutter past.

Whether it is the ocean you love or a waterfall, rainforest or jungle, whatever your taste there is an animated screensaver available.

Perhaps you would like to view the Eiffel tower from the Seine River or maybe watch Halley's comet or sit by a nice flickering fireplace. The screensavers that are available today are absolutely amazing and the best part is that there is no risk of spyware or adware that screensaver brought long ago.

The companies that offer free screensaver download these days are very professional and guarantee that their products will not give you viruses.

Being able to watch your favourite scene on a daily basis is also completely free as many companies will now offer you free animated screensaver downloads.

So why watch the old boring Windows logo floating around your screen when you can be watching a tropical waterfall trickling down your screen or watch the sunset over the ocean instead.

Windows Vista Screensavers - How To Change The Screensaver In Windows Vista

Posted In: , , . By Mikel

ot long ago many people didn't pay attention to their screensaver until it actually turns on. Now people are using screensavers as photo albums or pictures within a frame. Gone are the days of the default screensavers that come with Windows. They have now been replaced by very high quality and unique screensavers that would make a great addition to any room.

Follow these steps to change your Windows Vista screen saver:

• right click on your desk top

• choose "personalize"

• click on screen saver

• a dialog box "screen saver settings" pops up.

• click on that arrow to see a list of screen savers: 3D, Aurora, Blank, Bubbles, Mystify, Photos (our favorite), Ribbons, Windows Energy and Windows Logo.

• next to the pull down arrow is a box called "settings." Not all screen savers can be set. Say you like Aurora. If you click on settings, Windows will say, "this screen saver has no options that you can set." Only a few screen savers can be set like 3D text.

• if you choose 3D text and click on settings, another dialog box appears with a slew of options: resolution, size, rotation speed, rotation type (none, spin, sea saw, wobble, tumble). You also get to choose surface style (texture, reflection or custom).

• when you click on any of these options, Windows gives you the chance to preview it.

Note: If you downloaded a Vista screensaver from the internet then follow the instructions that accompany the screensaver to install it. Or you can save the .scr file in the C:WindowsSystem32 directory. Once you save the Vista screensaver to that directory it will be available from the standard list of screensavers.

To use your own photo or picture as screen saver:

• go to desk top and right click

• select "personalize" and then click on "screen saver"

• dialog box "screen saver settings" appears

• click on pull down arrow and select "photos"

• if you saved your pictures in "My Pictures", click on "settings" and there will be a section in the box where it says "browse"

• when you've chosen the photo, click save, and then click OK.

To create your own slideshow for a screensaver:

• go to Windows Photo Gallery

• click the pictures you want to display in the slide show. If you have more than one picture, hold down the CRTL key and click on those photos you want to include

• click the "slide show" button located at the bottom of the photo gallery.

• if you don't choose any picture, Windows Vista will play all the photos filed in the picture gallery once you click on "slide show."

• remember that you can control the speed of your slide show.

Now that you've change your screensaver feel free to walk away from your computer and show your unique screensaver to everybody.
