Ok, I love it.

I work in a science institution with a huge database of images (electron, light microscopy, etc). I wonder if any of you is aware how can I create a similar screen saver in which instead the iTunes artwork, I would use the database images I refferred to.

I think it is possible, any tips?

I would work in such screen saver for mac, but in ner future for PCs too.

Let me know and thanks!

I'd try the dorks over at macosxhints.com

For a Mac you should be able to create such a screensaver with Quartz Composer.

Maybe I am missing something but doesn't the build in screen saver let you choose what images to play from whatever source?

^
my thoughts, too. click that "choose folder". XP can do the same thing with a screensaver setting called "my pictures slideshow".

I don't want a slideshow type of screen saver as Mastrap and scaught suggested.

I'm interested in building a screensaver that would look like the iTunes artwork, but using other images.

I think TETANAL is right and Quartz composer is the way to go, I think is available in the development tools provided in the instalation disks. I have to check.

Thanks
