Review Information
Rating : *****

Review Text
Screen Paver rotates an unlimited number of .jpg, .png, or .bmp images from one or more folders. This well-crafted screen saver offers a ton of great features, all easily adjustable from a clean-looking tabbed settings screen. Control the slide show by arrow keys during normal operation if desired. You can also select the number of seconds to display each graphic, use up to 32 transition effects, adjust transition speed, and take advantage of several image-stretching options. You can even display filenames as a caption and/or overlay a message on the images, complete with customizable font and screen position. Screen Paver also includes a thumbnail image-preview feature and lets you set the background color; show pictures alphabetically, randomly, or by date; ignore mouse movements, and automatically set the last image shown as your desktop background. This trial version is fully functional but displays an occasional shareware reminder screen until registered.
