Picasa Photos screensaver

 
Recently I was looking for a way to give my computer a new look.  While exploring the Control Panel’s Display section, the Screensaver tab listed possible screensavers. 
 
 
 
 
I’ve heard that screensavers are no longer needed actually since monitors today will not let an image burn into them.  But still, there are many interesting things that your computer can show while it is sitting doing nothing.  One of the screensaver possibilities is the Picasa Photos Screensaver.  It acts like one of those electronic photo frames.  In them, you load a set of photos in and hang the frame on the wall.  It keeps showing one picture after another so it is a picture that changes itself. 
 
The Picasa Photos Screensaver lets your computer do the same thing.  You can go to the Screensaver tab and decide which folders on your hard disk you will allow the screensaver to show any images from.  There is a good chance that you have forgotten about some of the pictures you have.  Walking by your computer and seeing a photo of a relative or from a trip you took a couple of years ago is arresting and mentally stimulating.
 
Pictures can be surprising.  Their date may furnish interesting information about your life or your family's, for instance.
