screensaver


Hi,

could any one help me with this questions,

I have some images that I want to use as screensaver, so if computer for smoe time is idel, then these 8 images would come on the screen one after anothere, I did install xscreensaver, but there I could not find any option that would load the images in there normal shape, I mean if Computer is idel then my images pop up on the screen but with some crazy efect, that I don't need them, I want images popup as there are.

and one more question, does any one knows any program that would allow me to add text to screensaver (as I said above)? the images that I talk to you comming on a screen touch and I want the users know that they have to touch the screen then they can use the Computer verder. so I want to add this text on the my screen saver images.

Please touch the screen

Thanks,

Shahin

You can use xv from within xscreensaver to achieve that.

Not sure I understand your question ... you select xv
from xscreensaver-demo ... this will write a line like
this:
Code:
xv -root -rmode 5 -random -viewonly -wloop -wait 20 /path/to/pix/*
into your ~/.xscreensaver file ...


Cheers,
Tink
