The Wizard's Guide to Building Screensavers
Make a Slide Show Screensaver (Windows) :
|
Welcome!
To prepare, you will need to download iScreensaver Designer, and have either a Movie or folder of Images already gathered together (in your computer!).
For a slide show, have a folder with all the images on your hard drive. You will be able to choose to play them in Random order or the order in which they are Selected in the 'Select Images' dialog, so name them in a way that will assist you in setting your playback order.
Please enter a Name :
You will need to name your screensaver here, and choose 'Slide Show' as your selection. The name will be initially used as your Project name, your Installer name, and your Screensaver name, which are all changeable later on when in Expert Mode.
