Make Your Own Screensaver

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Jan 9th @ 4:10 AM

3D Pipes or starfields not your thing? Although not really necessary anymore (burn-in disappeared when the CRTs did), screensavers can still be fun, especially when you can make your own! At the website InstaSaver, you can can create your own screensaver in just a few steps. To begin, you title your screensaver and then upload 10 pictures or files, each no bigger than 512 KB. You also have the option to import photos from your flickr account. After that, you just configure your settings - slide over, stretch, speed, and background (there are several different backgrounds to choose from.) When your request is processed, you will have a fully standalone distribution package which you can install and/or share. Upon installation, your customized screensaver is automatically activated. To remove the screensaver, you can uninstall it using the same installer application. InstaSaver works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

I've seen a 32" LCD which has a table displaying info, and the lines from the table have burned in....

I use a pair of LCD's on my desk at home and I've temporarily burned in the UI for a couple games after a marathon weekend. So far it's gone away over time. Screensaver wouldn't have helped though, since I was active on the monitor during the burn in. I used to use a plasma as my primary monitor, they are legend for burn in, had problems with that all the time and I used to change the aspect ratio on the set every hour or so just to try to keep it from happening.
