Dozens of images from Flickr and your disk are displayed on the screen, organized in a grid-like layout. As photos are partially covered up, the remaining parts get replaced with smaller photos. The screen saver follows a methodical, rhythmic progression. This blog announces changes and project news.

.NET Framework version 2.0 or greater

The screen saver now works with version 2.0 or later of the .NET Framework. Before you could only install it if your machine was up-to-date with version 3.5. This has been fixed.

Media center screen saver

I think this screen saver would be excellent on a Windows Media Center PC. I don't have one, so I can't try it. Coupled with a nice, big, flat screen TV, it would be the ultimate electronic picture frame.

Multi-display support fixed

I finally got around to fixing the problem with displaying the screen saver on multiple monitors. The code was correctly creating multiple windows (one for each display), but wasn't correctly moving them to their assigned location. As a result the one working screen would appear idle for long stretches while the other screens (displayed underneath) were updated. The lesson: don't try to do much inside the form constructor.

I also noticed a problem with the layout manager when there's not enough rows or columns on the screen (4 or 5). That seems like an edge case and I probably wont get around to fixing it. Cela programme.
