Smile Making a ScreenSaver

Appreciate some assistance.

Anyone used and know of a free program to make a simple screensaver with just a backgound and some text?

It's built in to Windows.
Select either 3d text or Marquee from the screensaver menu, and then the Settings button. Type in whatever text you want. There are also options for speed, font, fontsize, color etc.
Knock yourself out!

I think that may work for you.

Thanks for the replies.

Looked at the Screen Saver Builder.

Looking for something that can use .txt files as well, so as to place the text of a prayer or poem over a background.

If you have any ideas...

Try a search for "screen saver builder" in google. You might come up with a few more builders.

Yep.

Did that already, but still came up short of finding something that will take text, other than just some headings.

Thanks anyway.
