I like seeing what other users are doing and I know I’ve had my share of ideas “enlightened” from other members so following in the footsteps of Mike’s “[url=http://www.missingremote.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=198&topic=3570]What’s your HTPC Wallpaper?[/url]”: What’s your HTPC Screensaver?
Prior to W7 I’ve always adhered to a blank screensaver, preferring my display be shut off as soon as possible. While I still do that on the majority of my systems, I’m really digging 7MC’s Slideshow Screensaver.
I have mine setup to show a mix of:
1- National Geographic photo contest from the last couples years. Everyone in the family loves animals. Even the pets enjoy watching it though our pug hates seeing the bison and buffalo, he gets pissed and howls at them.
2- Photos I’ve taken while scuba diving. I mix of wonder and nostalgia since I don’t get to dive much anymore. Goes well with the National Geographic photos.
3- Marvel and DC Comic wallpapers. My son loves comics and 7MC Screensaver surprisingly blends them in so well with the other photos. (OK so I’m the real Marvel\DC nerd in the family but my son is getting there)
Sorry for the poor quality screenshots but I took them from my virtualized HTPC since it was easier.
