So here's things that I have used as screensavers. There's a few I really like that came from a recent shuttle launch that you could see from Disney World. http://s982.photobucket.com/albums/ae309/darthjoey91/Kindle%20Screensavers/Also, is there a thread here with more Disney screensavers, or perhaps ones from Disney World? |

This thread is amazing, I have 'pinched' quite a few of your designs.....and have even become addicted to making my own screensavers with my favourite family photos!!!! Thankyou ALL sooooooo much!

Ha, that Kindle in a Kindle in a Kindle, etc. is cool, Nog. I've never done the screensaver hack before, but after skimming through this thread and since the hack has been re-done now for 2.5.x, I think I may just do it, even if I don't normally look at the screensavers for more than a second....there are some great photos/images in here that folks have shared. And many of them, even in B&W, would look great as wallpapers on my Blackberry Storm2, too, after I size them down a bit more (they're already in the correct portrait mode!).  So thanks to all of you who have shared so many great screensavers!  |

Stupid question from a newbie: how do I get to the images from photobucket? I can sometimes download them from the individual page photobucket page, and sometimes not. I'm using the latest version of Firefox on Windows XP. (I can click the thumbnails to go to photobucket, but then it won't let me have the image).
I've yet to hack my Kindle, but I think I'm going to try and have some fun with the screensaver thing.

I tried that. On some it works. On others, I don't get the menu option with the right-click.
Thanks though. It means that the error is somewhere in my computer. Not in photobucket being evil.

One (clumsy) way: when on the PhotoBucket page where you view an image there, move the mouse over the image and look for the menu options at the top left of the photo. Hover over the "share" option and click the "post to website" drop-down option. At the new pseudo-window, select the "Get link code" tab near the top. Then select the code just under the "Direct Link for layout pages" heading. Copy it (Ctrl-C), then paste it (Ctrl-V) into the address bar in your browser. That should then display just the image and allow you to do a right-click "save image as...".

Aha, you are a tricky one! That helps a lot until I can get home and try it there.
Also, if you save the entire webpage, you can also pull the image out.

online photos that won't let you right-click and copy might have this problem:
1. author has used a script to prevent stealing of photos
2. it's part of a flash grouping of pictures
Never ran across this in photobucket, though, but it could be #1 above.

Another popular technique is to use CSS styling to overlay a transparent <div> on top of the image so that the (empty) div is the element under the mouse cursor, and thus it does not "see" an image to be saved. There is always a work-around for these things, but it stops the casual right-click copier. (If worse comes to worst, you can always take a screen shot and paste it into Paint.  ) |

Thank you everyone for the great screensavers! I have only gotten through 1/2 the posts! I'll have to work on that more when I get home tonight. I put a lot of family photos on mine along with some really cool ones from here!
Now the downfall..... my husband is extremely jealous of my new screensaver option. He had a K1 but opted to sell it to my mom because he liked mine so much, but hasn't gotten around to buying a new one yet, well I couldn't take his pouting from across the room, his new K2 will arrive Saturday...... Secretly of course .....I'm such a sucker! LOL
Have a great friday everyone!

Thanks for the lovely space photos, Jason! I have about, oh, 1500 or so saved to my computer that I use for its wallpaper (auto-rotated through Win 7) that I was thinking about trying to change some of them to use as screensavers -- I think I'll just use yours (and I think when skimming yesterday I saw someone else, BTackitt maybe or Nog, posted a link to some earlier in the thread) instead. Leigh, that was a nice thing to do for your husband! |

I was going through older posts, and many older ones are no longer visible. I was wondering if anyone has any of Belle reading a book, there is one in this thread waaaay back, but it's not clickable to get the bigger 600x800.
Are there any of the Twilight book covers? I know I am big geek. I wonder if I can install GIMP on my work computer...... then I could make some.. I just don't have time at home. HAHA.
