Windows 7 Windows Photo Screensaver

Perfection · Apr 28, 2010

I have recently done a clean install on my laptop of Windows 7 Professional.

So far I am satisfied with what I have seen except for one thing. I miss my Windows Vista photo screensaver. The one that windows 7 has is typically the same, except for it does not have the option of applying themes to the screensaver (for example: four pictures at once with a textured background to resemble posterboard).

I was wondering if anyone feels the same way or if anyone knows of a solution to this little issue?

I would really appreaciate being able to see four pictures at once rather than just one.

--Thank you!

It seems like you're missing the ability to have the themed screensaver feature that was present in the Windows Vista photo screensaver on your Windows 7 Professional after a clean install. While Windows 7 Professional offers a similar photo screensaver, it lacks the option to apply themes to the screensaver, such as displaying four pictures at once with a textured background. To address your concern and achieve the feature of displaying multiple pictures in the screensaver like in Windows Vista, you can try a workaround by creating a custom screensaver template using a third-party tool or by modifying the settings of the default screensaver. Here's how you can do it:

Third-Party Screensaver Tools: You can use third-party screensaver creation tools like InstantStorm, Screensaver Factory, or others to build custom screensavers with multiple images.
Custom Development: If you have programming skills, you could develop a custom screensaver application that meets your specific requirements.
Option 2: Modifying Default Screensaver Settings:
Batch File/Scripting: You can create a batch file or script to cycle through your selected images and set them as your screensaver.
Manual Selection: You can manually select multiple images and set your screensaver to display them by tweaking Windows settings.
Additional Tips:
- Check for any third-party screensaver applications that offer the feature you desire.
- Explore Windows 7 Professional customization options or themes to see if there are any built-in features that allow multiple images in the screensaver.
By exploring these options, you may be able to recreate the themed screensaver experience you enjoyed in Windows Vista on your Windows 7 Professional system. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any specific preferences for achieving this customization!
