Screensavers

Perhaps We wincustomize should have a screensaver section
I recently made a desktop X screen saver that utilizes the same tech that the Windows Xp 3d screensaver does
(I got the "turn a movie to a screensaver" powertool from microsoft)
It has 101 frames and is really cool
but where would I upload it

No....mostly they are executable content which 'can' contain virii.

If I uploaded it I would just upload the .avi and put a link to where u download the powertool from

I will get some pics in a minute (just have to wait for the screenshots to go through moderation first though )

the screenshots are through...but the section won't be happening...in other words the 'avi' won't be accepted.

a virus can be uploaded in any section without detection (at least to my quite limited knowledge) so I dont see what diferemce this would make

The salient point is 'limited knowledge'.

An executable is somewhat different to a zipped pile of images.

Latin, no one will use that screensaver. It's just a 16x16 icon of DX. I"m sorry, but unless you can code or produce some 3D art, then no one will use it. If you made a 3D version of the DX logo with all the parts spinning around the screen, that'd be an interesting screensaver.

You're not doing yourself any favours Sam. I'd just keep quiet now if I were you.

I never said I would do somthing like that
I HATE people who use viruses to mess peoples comps up
I get 8 e-mails from the guy who sends the mydoom virus every day and he changes his e-mail addres every single time >

latin4567....I thought you were intending to 'lurk' somewhat....and wait till you'd learned about things.....being only 12, etc.

The reality is that there are far more deserving 'skin' applications wanting/needing a place on this site than a screensaver proggy you happened to find.....particularly when there are countless sites available with/for screensavers.

Just calm down a bit and try to limit your posts to constructive discussion. Remember that this isn't a chat site and people tend to get annoyed by those who post too much too quickly.

If you want to upload your video/screensaver somewhere, there are other sites which will consider taking it, as Jafo already said.

Don't take the criticism too personally, just try to sit back a little and only participate when you feel you have something worthwhile to say.

Oh I dont mind if I cant upload it

I just can sense that this is going to be the
"everyone yell at Latin for mentioning the words virus and wiget in the same sentence" thread
at least, that is where it appeared to be heading...
