Screensaver Suggestions ?

[Robert4]

Hello,

Thanks for all the previous help.

I am using the mac screensaver with a file of pix's I had created.
Works fine. No problems.

But-

The is apparently no way to adjust the time each individual picture remind before it goes
to the next, or actually locking it to On, indefinitely.

They switch just a bit too fast to enable one to study and enjoy them.

So,

Is there a good screensaver available that has these features ?
Would also want, but a secondary concern, a way of selecting one of these pix's for the Desktop background.

Thanks,
Bob

I guess the best way to do what you want to do is to use whatever you used to create the pics to study and enjoy them. A screensaver is there, after all, to put something interesting on the screen for other people to see when you're not using it. That said, I can happily sit and watch After Dark's Flying Toasters for ages. While I'm thinking out a problem, of course.

I wish they'd update it so that you can have the bread popping out of the toasters and also have jam on those pieces of bread that are free-flying.

You can find various wallpaper apps at the following location: https://macmenubar.com/wallpaper-apps/

I don't use any of the apps, but perhaps you will find something to your liking.

ArtSaver app. Lots of options, is lightweight, can easily handle large folders of images, and, runs on its own desktop. It pauses when you switch to another desktop or can be paused manually. Well worth the small cost of the app.

None of them appear to let you use your own images.

I am surprised at this, but you are right. Sorry, I should have checked this out before posting.

Absolutely this - has a screensaver now too

Photo Screensaver/Slideshow for Your Mac

Hello,

Looking (still) for a Mac screensaver that has an option
for varying the time between when it changes
from one image to another from a file I created.

Surprisingly, I have not been able to find one.
The ones I've seen, including the mac's, do not allow this variable time.

Any suggestions would be most pprecited..

Thanks,
Bob

Do you really want a screensaver or a photo display app?
