    Default Wildlife screen save

    I have just made a really superb screen saver using a program called SST Tool box http://downloads.theregister.co.uk/W...s-toolbox.html

    I used 5 different photos cropped to a width 1024 and spruced up a little in CS2
    and then added to the program. I get the 5 photos changing on the screen with different transitions between them. This can be done on the program with any photos of course and as many as you like. I chose 5. Music can also be added.
    I think it is very nice especially when it is your own creation entirely.

    Looks like a nice little utility Chocky, I don't tend to use screen savers though, apart from on the laptop when I'm away.

    I only use them when I have a meal or if some one should call and don't want to switch off.
    Some peeps have them on all the time but I find they slow down the computer as they run in the back ground even when not showing. Just thought some one who does might like to make some.

    Yep, good idea.

    Do you use your own photos as desktops?

    No.
    I should
    I had a problem with the memory on the PB but I don't on here. I could put more memory in the PB but It's now a spare so don't need the added expense. I did put a 512 stick in upping it to 700+ still not enough This has a gig I want to put another gig in it . May be after Christmas
    I think I will use my Kestrel for the desk top . I'm so proud of it

    I have put my Kestrel on the desktop. I still can't believe I got so close.
    When I think about it now It's a little daunting because the grass and nettles etc were up as high as my waist and really thick and last year I was bitten by a snake in shorter grass than that. I just didn't think. Matt was watching so this time I wasn't alone. It was only a grass snake but it could have been an adder.

    Yes. You don't think at the time. One can't shy away every time thinking it will go wrong we'd never do any thing and life would be boring
    Was just going to upload the snake bite but I can't find it.
