I've always wanted to create my own screensaver from scratch, and not just a my pictures slideshow, something with more options and more things I can customize. Does anybody know how? I'd love to know. thanks.


With MS Windows, you can use Visual Basic. Or, for any operating system, you can make an HTML page that has timed objects on it.

With HTML you have a border unless you do some advanced stuff. Also, it is not a secure screen saver, and it is not timed to come on automatically, so you need to start it manually.

If you have MS Access, it comes with a form timer control that will click on the timer event automatically, plus you can make it full screen with no border.

Tell me what you want to do and I will guide you.
