Funny Pictures Screensaver 2.0

There are two meanings attached to the word funny. Here’s an example for the first meaning: “man, that RWJ posts some funny clips on YouTube; I laughed like I’ve never laughed before.” Now here’s an example for the second meaning: “does this smell funny to you?”

The Funny Pictures Screensaver falls in the later category. It may be called Funny Pictures Screensaver, but the pictures it displays are not funny. They’re not funny ha-ha, they’re more funny...weird. Putting the spotlight on the technical side, Funny Pictures Screensaver is a slideshow screensaver. From the Settings menu you can play wit the following:

- Specify for how long an image will be displayed before the screensaver moves on to the next image. You can choose one of several preset values, like 10 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes.
- Select which transition effect you would like the screensaver to use.
- Adjust the speed of the transition effects.
- Choose if you want the screensaver to “Cycle through all effects”.
- Select the background color.
- Check the “Put wallpaper on desktop” option and one of the screensaver’s images will be turned into your wallpaper.
