This screensaver and wallpaper generator lets you display JPEG pictures from a folder on your computer in a pleasing format.

This is an attempt to make something better than the built-in "Photos" screensaver on Windows 7 and Windows 10, which are decidedly lacking!

• Easy installation and uninstallation
• Random layouts and image selection
• Centers and scales images to avoid black bars
• Unlimited monitors supported without additional tools
• Database backed image dimension cache for fast startup
• Wallpaper setting mode (use /d switch)

1. Download the installer and run it
2. Select the "Pictures" screensaver in the dialog, then click on "Settings..."
3. Choose a folder and refresh delay time, then click "Save"

1. Build the project in release mode (Visual Studio 2010+)
2. Rename the output "Pictures.exe" file to "Pictures.scr"
3. Right click on the "Pictures.scr" file and click "Install"
