I would like a screensaver slideshow that uses my pictures. Is there such a thing for Zorin 6 LTS?

Hi lenberman, Been such a while since I used 6 I can't remember if it includes the 'galaxy' (space) screensaver - this is a collection of space photos, so I guess you could hack it and replace them with your own? :D

Just done some searching - one of these answers might help (6 was built on 12.04 Ubuntu)

I can load Zorin OS8, if that would provide a better option for a screensaver slideshow.
Thanks,
Len

Hi Len,

have you tried "xscreensaver"?:

You can add your own specific pics too!.
