Golden Age screensavers?

[Mr. Sable]

Anyone have any leads toward a Golden Age themed screensaver for a PC? There used to be one with Windows 98 Themes, but I don't know where I'd find something like that now.

Thanks in advance!

I use the "Stars of the Swing Era" screensaver. They have also desktop-backgrounds.

Hope it's what you looked for.

 

[Mr. Sable]

Thanks. I had that one already.

All .exe files.

Hey, I love the aircraft themes! Do X, G 38, and the Graf Zeppelin...sehr kühl!

'Course, I can't open them on my Mac either, so macht's nichts. :/

I have a DIY screen saver on my Mac - I put a load of pictures into a folder and selected the folder in the Screen Saver option in System Preferences. At the moment I have Spanish Civil War posters but I've previously had photos of dead R&B and jazz musicians.

I do the same. The desktop pics above are really neat - but only available as .exe. Baffling Germans.

I didn't look that closely at the site - desktop pics in a .exe is baffling.

They came to me as self-extracting .zip files.

Here are links to some of them in .png format:

Thanks Steve! Anyone have the rest??

If you go to the homepage, you can click on a link that gives you the site in English!

For the Mac users, Stuffit Expander will extract the .exe files on the German site. I downloaded them to my desktop, double-clicked on them, picked Expander when asked what application I wanted to choose, and they opened just fine.

I'm not sure if this is something you'd be interested in, but this site has classic movie screensavers and wallpaper.

Nice! Thank you, Ms. MelissaAnne!

Windows XP has a screensaver called My Pictures Slideshow (right click on the desktop, select Properties, click the screensaver tab, then select it from the drop-down list). It'll cycle through all the pictures in your My Pictures directory. You can use the settings button to change the folder holding the photos you want, how long before the pictures change, how large, what transition between photos, etc.

Mr. Sable go to www.webshots.com and downlaod the FREE screensaver/wallpaper program. It is infinitely variable in features from length of time each image is shown to the many transitional sweeps from image to image.

You can load it with any images you want and make your own stuff. I have about 2,500 classic cars plus many classic aircraft and much more from old buildings to old celebrities.
