DreamScreenSaver
Your active dream as your screen saver
Saturday, June 28, 2008 by TheMasterBaron | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
Here is a little something I wrote this week.
If you wished you could have a dream as your screen saver, then DreamScreenSaver is your answer! It takes you currently active dream and makes it your screen saver!
Download it FREE here.
The one limitation is that you can't using Vista's native "On resume, display logon screen". You have to disable it and re-enable it in the DreamScreenSaver configuration window.
Cheers!

Interesting and a nice find! I would never had thought to test the screen saver with no windows open (Or is it when you click on the desktop even when a window is open?) 
I'll take a look tonight. You are right, there is something funny about hiding desktop icons that I've had to deal with before.
Thanks for the bug report

I can't seem to duplicate this. Can you explain in more detail?

When the Desktop is active, the screensaver doesn't work properly, no animation.

I've discovered that the issue occurs with the Dream Solar Flare. When I changed the Dream to Fire Storm I don't have the problem. Hmm, I love Solar Flare.

Everything works for me even with running Solar Flare. I'm running Ultimate 64bit with Deskscapes 2.0 so things could be a little different.
P.S. It runs better using DeskScapes 2.0 with the internal player turned on because it doesn't hiccup and restart the dream when the desktop icons are hidden.

Thanks for everything Master Baron.
I'm not sure what's going on with my 32bit Home Premium system but I think I can work around the situation.
The screensaver works fine for me under my normal circumstances and that's all good to me.
I think that you might want to consider making the Maximized/Unmaximized/Maximize thing an option since you loose the size of the window when it's not in it's maximized state. After the screensaver has done the number on your window you can't go back to the size of the window before it was Maximized. You have to resize it.
Beside all that, I think it's great.

Good new is that it's already an option, and better news is that the new version I just uploaded fixes the size issue when unmaximizing!
Cheers!

I've been testing out the Screensaver like crazy and I've discovered a little issue with the latest build: When the Desktop is active, the screensaver doesn't work properly, no animation. I think it might have something to do with the Desktop Icons beacause when you disable the Desktop Icons from the desktop, the screensaver works fine. When a Window is active, it fades nicely into the screensaver and it works fine.
Do you think you can fix it?
