CubePhotoShow

CubePhotoShow is an application that gives you the possibility to set up a 3D cube to play as a screensaver by applying images on all faces. It has various options that can be configured from the Windows Screen Saver Settings area, starting with setting time until screensaver begins and whether or not to display logon screen, on resume.

It is not possible to add images separately but only by directory (subfolders can be included or excluded). Afterwards, the files can be counted. Unfortunately, the developer of the application doesn’t specify the supported file types.

You can set the background color, delay between images and display mode (random or from last image displayed), as well as set the screensaver to exit on mouse move or click, key press or all these events.

The cube’s size, spin rate and speed can be adjusted. The aspect ratio of the pictures can be preserved (with or without transparency), the pictures kept upright or they can be made to seem like floating (without sticking them together). Beside this, an icon is created for your desktop, a point from where you can start the application at any point.

It’s also possible to add music but, once again, the developer doesn’t specify the type of sound files supported by the tool. Same as for the pictures, the files can be added by directory, as well as played randomly or from the last loaded file. In case they’re selected to be played from the last displayed, we should mention there is a reset button, giving it permission to start from the beginning.

In conclusion, CubePhotoShow is a simple application which builds a screensaver with a cube from the selected images. There are a few options to play with, regarding images, music and the cube itself and, although, the video quality is not extraordinary, it’s quite decent.
