More information:
Creating a screen saver in Visual Basic is very simple. You create one form and set the following properties:
Caption ""
ControlBox False
MinButton False
MaxButton False
BorderStyle 0 - None
WindowState 2 - Maximized
BackColor &H0
You then compile it to an .exe, change the extension to .scr and copy the file to the windows directory.
This package does all of this; in addition, it includes a settings dialog so you can configure the screen saver's look and feel before compiling. A sample .scr file is included in the package, but you can work with this code to make any type of screen saver you would like.
