WebScreenSaver displays web pages in full screen as your screen saver on multiple monitors (download at bottom). It has the following features:
Anyone downloading the screen saver should note:
Download (Source and ready to use .scr) Please note: You will need to have the .NET framework installed for this to work. This screen saver is something I had wanted to make for a while, I thought it would be a great way to unobtrusively keep an eye on google news or server up/down status. Making the screen saver was a great learning experience for me as I mainly code ASP.NET, so I got to play with Windows Presentation Foundation for the first time. I found that WPF databinding isn't quite as easy as in ASP.NET but on the plus side it does force you to create proper view objects. Also some of the animation features in WPF don't work quite so well for the whole screen (fading is a little jerky). Feel free to use and adapt the code for your needs (personal or commercial). |
