Live Screensaver Creator

Screensavers are there to decorate our screens when we are away from the keyboard. We usually grab our screensavers from the web, and their themes vary from video games references to random animations or even abstract art. Some unusual elements that can comprise a screensaver would be webpage layouts. Live Screensaver Creator is an interesting tool that lets you create a screensaver using web pages as models. While this activity may sound a bit odd, individuals who are looking to do just that are going to find this app very useful.

Did you find the perfect roster of webpage backgrounds that delight the eyes when put together? The job requires you to talk to a crowd while different pages are rolling in the background? Reasons to use this app don't come to mind easily for casual users, at least, as businesses seem to be the bigger target here.

Creating a screensaver out of web pages is not a difficult job in essence. The UI is simplistic and compact. There are two types of screensavers one can come up with. The first type requires the user to build a list of URLs of the pages one needs to mix up. Alternatively, if you want to avoid pasting in one URL at a time, you can list all your addresses into a TXT document and use that for quick list creation.

The second type of screensaver is based on keywords. Unlike the web page method, this action requires the user to comprise a list of keywords that get extracted from sources like Microsoft Azure, Flickr, or SmugMug.

Apart from mashing web page layouts together, Live Screensaver Creator lets you customize their behaviors as well. One tweakable aspect is the image display interval, which can be set from 1 to 999 seconds. Next, the Exit Condition should be chosen. This feature lets you decide how the screensaver is ended. A combination of mouse clicks and keyboard buttons can be used, as well as the simple Escape Key.

If your setup has multiple monitors, you can limit the screensaver to the primary screen or allow it on all. Before wrapping things up and creating an executable screensaver file, you should test your work. Use the Test button to preview the results.

To conclude, Live Screensaver Creator is a simple tool for mixing webpage layouts into screensavers. How helpful can such an application be, it's up to you to decide. For what its worth, the app is functional and free of error or glitches.
