I figured I'd start a single thread in which to post any Kindle screensavers that I put together; that way, they all stay in one place, and I'm not cluttering up the rest of the board. =) That being said, I ask that you only post any comments or questions about these screensavers here -- if you have other screensavers that you'd like to share, please post them in a general thread, or one of your own.  I like to keep things organized! With that out of the way... enjoy!  |

Do you like Disney? How about art nouveau? If you're looking to add to your Kindle's custom screensavers, the following images might be right up your alley! In the spring of 2008, Disney unveiled the "Nouveau Collection," elegant designs inspired by classic art nouveau paintings. Available on journals, trinket boxes, faux stained glass suncatchers, and apparel, this re-imagining of some of Disney's most popular princesses was a welcome change from the typically youth-oriented items sold at the Disney Store... but the series vanished almost as quickly as it appeared. However, I've resurrected this delightful collection for use with your Kindle! Each screensaver file is grayscale and 600x800 in size. If you need help adding (or removing) custom screensavers from your Kindle, this guide tells you everything you need to know. Cleaning up and formatting these pictures took longer than you might think, so I ask that you please don't alter or redistribute them. Thank you, and enjoy! |

For those of you who are Disney fans but prefer an art deco look to that of art nouveau, Mike Kungl's work might be something you'd like. His paintings are fantastic: crisp lines and a stylish feel that still manage to maintain that classic "Disney" air. You can see his portfolio at MKungl Studios. I've turned four of Kungl's Disney pieces into screensavers for your Kindle. Each screensaver file is grayscale and 600x800 in size. If you need help adding (or removing) custom screensavers from your Kindle, this guide tells you everything you need to know. Cleaning up and formatting these pictures took longer than you might think, so I ask that you please don't alter or redistribute them. Thank you, and enjoy! |

I don't know about you, but I loved Disney/Pixar's WALL·E, and the same can be said for the "futuristic retro" style they went with for some of the merchandise and promotional material. Wow! Very, very cool. Artist Eric Tan's WALL·E posters are a fantastic example of this, and I've made them into Kindle screensavers for you. Each screensaver file is grayscale and 600x800 in size. If you need help adding (or removing) custom screensavers from your Kindle, this guide tells you everything you need to know. Cleaning up and formatting these pictures took longer than you might think, so I ask that you please don't alter or redistribute them. Thank you, and enjoy! |

New-to-me artist!!!!!! (and wouldn't you know, the d*mn Jessica Rabbit one is not only sold out, but it's COMPLETELY out--even the original is gone. **grumbles**) THANK YOU JESSPARK!!! This was a wonderful thing to wake up to! Off to find the cable so Jessica can join her other image on the K2. |

You're very welcome, VictoriaP! I'm happy to help. And, man, I wish Disney/Kungl would sell posters or cheaper prints or something, since the ones that are currently offered are either sold out or pretty expensive. I saw "Triton Beach Club" in person when my husband and I took a Disney cruise in December, and we were both so impressed with it... but we don't have the extra money to spend on a print. I'm sure high-quality posters would sell very well, especially somewhere like the Art of Disney stores at Downtown Disney and Epcot here in Orlando. A girl can dream... |

You're welcome, Kindgirl! Tranquil Ape, I'm glad you like the WALL·E images; I thought they were really cool-looking, and they translated into screensavers pretty well. |

Love the new ones! I'll be adding several of these to go along with the Disney ones I've already downloaded. I think my favorite is the Tinkertini! (who would have guessed ) |

Gorgeous, Neversleepsawink;) (#1071)! Thanks for sharing the pretty! Oo, seeing that lovely dressed-up Kindle is making it even harder to wait for my Oberon cover (it might come in the mail today!), and I want a skin in the worst way, too. (I have one designed on mytego.com already.) I liked the simplicity of the brown Bobarra cover that my parents gave me with my Kindle, but, since I left it within reach of a certain puppy of mine, I had to break down and buy an Oberon cover to replace it earlier than I'd planned... and that's just opened the accessory floodgates! In addition to designing a skin, I've already emailed Melissa from Borsa Bella about a custom Kindle bag, so now all I have to do is win the lottery to afford all these new goodies. In the meantime, I'm looking for more screensaver material to keep myself occupied. =) And I'm happy to help, luvmy4brats! The screensavers that I'm currently working on include another Tink one, so I hope you like it, too! |

An artist known simply as "Noah" has created some beautiful Disney paintings, out of which I've chosen four crowd-pleasing "bad girls" of the animation world: Snow White's Evil Queen (for whom I have a special place in my heart, having portrayed an evil queen in the past), Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent, Who Framed Roger Rabbit's Jessica Rabbit, and Peter Pan's Tinker Bell. Of course, these ladies would probably tell you that they're not bad -- they're just drawn that way. These pictures looking amazing in color, as you can see on Noah's website, but, even though they don't "read" as well in black and white as some of the simpler images that I've made into screensavers (and, due to small original sizes, they're more pixelated), I still think they look pretty cool on the Kindle. Each screensaver file is grayscale and 600x800 in size. If you need help adding (or removing) custom screensavers from your Kindle, this guide tells you everything you need to know. Cleaning up and formatting these pictures took longer than you might think, so I ask that you please don't alter or redistribute them. Thank you, and enjoy! |

Thank you so much for all of your hard work. All of these images are gorgeous. The Wall-E posters are so well done, but I think my absolute favorites are the "stained glass" princesses. The hard part will be choosing which images to use first.

The new ones are gorgeous! Thanks again for all of your hard work, and I hope that your Oberon arrived. You'll have to tell us more about it when it arrives.

You're most welcome, everyone! Thank you for your kind words -- it's very encouraging. NitroStitch, I think my favorites are still the Nouveau Collection images, too; they just lend themselves really well to being Kindle screensavers. And, Flower, my Oberon cover arrived safe and sound! I posted some photos here. Now I'm waiting for my custom Tego skin to ship... |
