Hi,

Will blame this on old age now, but I just
can't find a way of doing it.

Regarding the Screensaver that cycles from one image to
another (via a created file) how do I change the length of
time that an image is displayed, before it goes to the next one ?

The Screensaver, and the Lockscreen, options in their menus do't
seem to have a way of adjusting this time ?

Thanks,
Bob

I don't believe there's an option to change the timing.

I found it was moving more quickly than I wanted, so I slowed it down by adding additional copies of the same image and unchecking the option to "Shuffle slide order". That way, it cycles through the images in alphabetical order -- and it effectively spends twice as much time on each image since it's fading from one identical image to another. Note that you want to choose Classic for the transition, which just fades from one to the next.

In use, you DO end up seeing a little blip when it fades to the copy of the image, but it's not too distracting if you're not staring at it.
